Justifications Of Pursuing a Personal Injury Claim
Many people shy away from contacting solicitors.
Understandably, it can be quite daunting if you have never had to pursue a claim before.
There is no need to worry about any legal fees or hidden costs, most personal injury solicitors offer a 'No win, No Fee' legal service.
'No win, No Fee' entitles you to make a claim for compensation that bares no obligation.
Win or lose, you don't have to pay a penny.
If you claim is accepted, you will receive 100% compensation.
With that in mind, here are 10 justifications for contacting an injury claim solicitor.
1.
Financial Loss Personal injuries can often lead to a loss of earnings.
Perhaps you had to take time of work for several weeks or month and subsequently suffered a considerable about of financial loss, or missed out on bonuses you were on target for.
Either way, a solicitor will take all of this into consideration and will be able to compensate you for any financial loss you have suffered due to personal injury.
2.
Daily Lifestyle If your personal injury has affected your day-to-day lifestyle, perhaps your injury has caused you to be unable to drive, do the housework, or affected your sleep pattern, a solicitor will take all of this into consideration when pursuing your claim for compensation.
3.
Long Term Disability If the impacts of the personal injury are long term, causing anything from disability requiring medical treatment, care at home or caused any permanent disfigurement, you could be entitled to a large pay-out.
4.
Psychological Trauma If the accident has left you with psychological trauma, you may be entitled to claim for compensation to help you deal with the issues you're facing.
5.
Medical Expenses Personal injury can also cost a considerable amount of money, particularly if you have suffered a severe injury.
Some injuries also require ongoing physiotherapy, which can be expensive and disruptive to your life.
A personal injury may also be able to recover any medical costs that you have had to pay out of your own pockets.
6.
Personal Possessions Sometimes, possessions will be damaged through an accident that was no fault of your own.
These will also be taken into consideration and may be compensated for so that you can replace them.
7.
Duty of Care Your legal action could even force those who are responsible to make changes to guarantee others do not get injured.
Accident at work claims are a typical example of this.
Employers have a duty of care to ensure employees are working in a safe environment.
As an employee, if you make an accident at work claim, this will also urge your employer to prevent others from suffering the same or similar injury whilst at work.
8.
Quality Of Life Significant health problems, such as a spinal or brain injury, may make it impossible or very difficult to work in the future, making it difficult for you to achieve a good standard of living.
Your solicitor will ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation that you are entitled to by law to contribute towards improving your quality of life.
9.
Protecting Others By making a personal injury claim, whether you may realize it or not, you are raising cause for concern and also highlighting the need for accidents to prevented in the future.
Making people aware of the accident circumstances will also prevent others from suffering an injury in the future.
10.
Family If the accident has led to someone's death, the bereaved may be entitled to claim compensation and also take legal action against those responsible.
