Making A Claim For Personal Injury
Most of us will have seen that ghastly
television advert where that dubious looking fellow asks 'Have you had an
accident? Was someone else to blame?' and either not paid any attention,
wondered how we might get some money out of it or pooh poohed it as ambulance
chasing nonsense. Accidents happen, we are all aware of this and most of the
time it is not anybody's fault it is just that, an accident.
But what
happens when you do have an accident and it really was someone else's fault? How
do you go about making a genuine claim? Well, the first thing you need to do is
find a specialist solicitor who can give you sound, honest advice.
Avoid
the ambulance chasers, they are just in it for the money and they don't care
about you or your injury, they just want to make a fast buck out of
you.
Before you consult a solicitor, you will need to have evidence of
your accident, preferably collected at the time with witness statements to back
it up. Even if you don't have witness statements, names and telephone numbers
are a good place to start. There will be some witnesses who will be happy to
help and others who want nothing to do with it, so always be polite and
unthreatening.
If there were no witnesses, medical reports will be
beneficial and any photographs of the scene at the time will be helpful. You
must also contact your own insurers and give them all the details. If
circumstances dictate, do inform the police of the incident as there may be a
case for them to investigate too. A police report will also be good evidence for
your case.
In some instances, the insurance company will help you with a
claim, it all depends upon the type of accident and the circumstances. However,
a word of caution here, some insurance companies will try to make you accept a
very small sum because they know that you are probably not fully familiar with
the legal technicalities of accident claims. They will also look for any
loophole that allows them not to pay, so you need to be on the ball
here.
If you feel that you do have a feasible claim, do tell your
insurers but also, see a specialist solicitor for proper legal
advice.
