October 2011

Mr Daniels was involved in a road traffic accident in which he suffered multiple injuries.

Miss Steele was a passenger when the vehicle was hit from the rear, resulting in her suffering from whiplash to her neck and upper body.
Derrick Smethurst secured a total award of 1.3million in a head injury case. The following is an extract of a letter received:
Mr Brown from Wigan was proceeding along the middle lane of the motorway when he was hit by another vehicle travelling in the same direction after it had already hit the central reservation.
Mrs Cooke was a passenger in a taxi which hit a bollard in the centre of the road.
Mr Wilson sustained an injury to his elbow during an accident at work where he fell off some poorly erected scaffold.
Mr Smethurst has access to knowledgeable and well respected experts who undertook assessments and reports on behalf of our case.
Many people feel uncomfortable making a claim straight after the event and it is only when they have had time to consider the impact which their injuries have had on their day to day life that they want to look in to possible compensation for their suffering. This can be particularly true when the injury is sustained at work and people worry about the consequences of pursuing a claim against their employer. One such case came to us quite recently.
Even what can appear to you to be the most obvious case of "who is to blame" can sometimes become a very involved and difficult matter, as one of our clients recently found out, but in the hands of an experienced law firm, a successful outcome can still be achieved.

1. What is no win no fee?
No Win No Fee is the term used to describe the Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) between a law firm and their client. It basically means that win or lose, you will not have to pay any legal costs. If we win the case we claim our fees back from the third party insurer and if we lose then we do not recover our fees and you still have to pay nothing.
2. Where do I start?
For most people, the first step in making a claim can be the most stressful, that's why we've tried to make it as straightforward as possible for you. When you are ready to make a claim, all you need to do is call us or fill in the claim form on our website. Or, if it's easier for you, you can just leave your details and we'll call you back at a convenient time. If you're not quite ready to claim and have more questions, give us a call for a chat with one of our solicitors. We understand that for many people claiming can seem like a daunting process but rest assured that we will talk you through everything you need to know and guide you through the claims process.
3. How much compensation will I receive?
It really depends on the type of injury and or injustice you have suffered. There are no general figures and we have to bear in mind the psychological impact and cost to the injured party. Assessment is based on 'general' and 'special damages' which not only covers the injury aspect itself, but the overall cost to you in terms of loss of earnings, work schemes and bonuses and the impact on your social and domestic life. Your solicitor will be able to give you a premliminary estimate of the value of your claim so call us today on 0800 731 755.
