What to consider Before Making a Claim

In order to succeed in a claim for accident compensation you have to prove on the balance of probabilities, exactly what happened, that it happened as a result of negligence or breach of a statutory duty, and that your injuries and losses have occurred as a result.

To assist you with your case our accident solicitors need as much information about the circumstances surrounding the accident as possible. If possible keep a record of any witnesses that were present at the accident and wherever possible take names and addresses in case we need to contact them throughout the course of your claim.

Before pursuing a serious injury compensation claim it is important to remember that legal action needs to be commenced within three years of the date of the accident or within three years of the date that you first knew you had been injured as a result of your accident.

This does not apply to people who are under the age of 18 at the time of their accident or for those who are incapable of handling their own affairs.

Our solicitors were able to obtain for the client £3.4 million in damages. Below is a selection of additional clients that we have obtained compensation for after they suffered serious injuries:

As he loaded items into the back of the van, Mr Jones was hit from behind by a car, crushing his legs, and leaving him with such extensive injuries that both legs had to be amputated. Surgeons fought hard to save one of his legs but this proved to be impossible. He was also advised that he had actually been lucky in that the injuries he did sustain in this horrific road traffic accident could so easily have resulted in permanent paralysis. To read the full story of this compensation claim, in which Clear Answers were able to secure substantial damages for Mr Jones, please visit our section on Road Traffic Accidents That We Have Dealt With.
