Serious Injury Claim Process - Our Approach

Your Serious Injury Solicitor

A serious injury solicitor, experienced in complex serious injury claims, will be appointed to your case and will deal with it from start to finish.

Freeclaim Solicitors have a dedicated Serious Injury Department with years of experience in handling catastrophic injuries, including serious spinal cord injuries, serious head and brain injuries, amputations, serious psychiatric injuries and other serious injuries and illnesses which have a massive impact on the accident victim's life, their ability to work and their ability to look after themselves.

First Steps

We will arrange for an experienced serious injury solicitor to meet with you and/or your family at hospital or at your home for a confidential, no obligation meeting to discuss your serious injury claim and to provide practical advice and emotional support.

Because of our experience, our serious injury lawyers will always endeavor to provide both emotional and practical support as well as the best possible legal advice.

Liability

In order to succeed in a serious injury compensation claim for damages, it is necessary to prove that another person was at least partly at fault for the accident which caused your serious injuries. When we first meet with you we will advise you of your prospects of success.  We will carry out all necessary enquiries to ensure that your prospects of success are as good as possible.

Freeclaim Solicitors have a reputation for winning cases other Solicitors have not wanted to take on.  It is always worthwhile arranging a no obligation meeting to discuss your claim even if you consider you were at fault or you cannot remember the accident. Remember all home visits are free and confidential.

Building the Case

Once you have good prospects of winning your case, we will put together a team of tried and trusted serious injury and rehabilitation experts to help deal with the issues arising in your case.  Typical issues include therapies, transport, aids and equipment, adapted accommodation, short and long term care as well as past and future loss of earnings including returning to work (where appropriate) and leisure activities.

We will obtain an interim compensation payment at the earliest opportunity to cover your immediate and ongoing financial needs as well as fund the experts' recommendations.

We work with specialist Case Managers who work with you and your family to put all the necessary arrangements into place and deal with any problems which arise.

In our experience, it is essential to give any arrangements such as moving into new accommodation, employing carers, etc time to settle down before a proper assessment of what is needed and the cost is made.

We use experienced specialist Barristers to provide further advice at key stages in the serious injury claim.  This helps us ensure our clients receive the best possible accident advice at all times.

Settlement

As soon as we can say with a reasonable degree of certainty what it will cost to provide you with as fulfilling a life as reasonably can be expected, we will prepare a final detailed schedule of damages and look to enter settlement negotiations with the Defendant's Insurers Solicitors. Negotiations can be extremely stressful for serious injury clients and their families. Our experienced serious injury solicitors can take the stress out of negotiating settlement to achieve the best possible result.

It is at the point of negotiating settlement that all the detailed work and preparation pays off and enables us to achieve as favourable a settlement as possible.

Costs

All serious personal injury claims are handled on a no win, no fee basis. Freeclaim Solicitors guarantee that you won't have to pay a penny. If you win, we will recover our costs from the opponents. If you lose, you won't be charged a single penny. Plus, Freeclaim Solicitors guarantee that you keep 100% compensation with no deductions.
