When can I make a claim ?
If you have been injured or have
caught an illness or disease and someone else is responsible, you may be able to
claim compensation. This can include injury, illness or disease caused by a road
accident, accident at work or medical accidents. If a member of your family has
died due to an accident you may also be able to claim for compensation. This is
known as a "Fatal Accidents" claim.
If your claim is
successful you keep 100% of your compensation
If your claim is
unsuccessful it wont cost you a penny
Who do I
claim against ?
If you have an industrial injury then
your claim will probably be against your employer. If
you have a road accident you can claim against the other driver, they will
usually be insured and their insurance company will end up paying. If
you trip on a pavement it may be the local council that you sue. If
the accident occurred on private property you may have to sue the owner of the
property. If you slip on flooring at for
example, a supermarket then you may have to sue the supermarket or the person
who owns the property where you were injured. You may have to sue the
manufacturers if you have caught an illness because of a chemical or product. Or
you may be able to sue the company that sold or gave you the chemical or
product. If it is a medical accident you may
have to sue the hospital involved or your GP, or even your dentist. They will
all usually have insurance to cover claims made by patients. Your
solicitor will be able to tell you more about the correct person or organisation
to sue if you have a claim.
Interim
Damages
If your opponent admits the accident was his or her fault, but
does not agree with the amount you are claiming, you may be able to receive some
money early. Your solicitor can apply for "Interim Payment". This
is where the opponent pays some money to you now and then the court decides how
much more you should receive at a later date after more information has been
obtained about what your case is worth. An
interim payment may help you pay for private hospital fees or special equipment
that you require.
Time
Limits
If you have an accident you must bring a claim within 3 years of
the accident or the court has the power to refuse to allow you to claim for your
injury. The only exception to the 3 year rule is,
1. If you were under 18 when the accident happened. In
this case the 3 years only starts to run from when you are 18.
2. At the time of the accident you did not know you had
been injured or that your injury was caused by an accident, illness or disease,
but you find out later. Even if this is years later, the three years may start
to run from when you found out. Your solicitor will be able to tell you more.
If your
injury is going to give you problems in the future or it cannot be put right
then you are likely to receive more in compensation than if your injury improves
very quickly.
