Are Victims Of An Accident Eligible To Claim Compensation?

If you’ve been in an accident, you may be eligible to claim compensation with one of our personal injury solicitors for Chesterfield if you can prove that negligence has occurred. Negligence forms the personal injury claims eligibility criteria and is when:

• Someone owes a duty of care to you. 
• They breach their duty of care. 
• You’re injured as a result of this breach. 

Numerous third parties can owe you a duty of care. These include:

• Employers. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 states that when you’re at work, your employer owes you a duty of care. As per this duty, employers must take reasonable and practicable steps to ensure your safety at work. 
• Occupiers (those in control) of a public place. The Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957 states that when you’re in a public place, the occupier of that place owes you a duty of care. As per this duty, occupiers must take steps to ensure your reasonable and practicable safety while on their premises. 
• Road users. All road users owe each other a duty of care. As per this duty, when on the road, all road users must comply with the rules in the Road Traffic Act 1988 and The Highway Code to ensure the reasonable safety of each other. 

So, if you have been in either a road traffic accident, a public place accident, or an accident at work, please contact us today to discuss your circumstances. We can then confirm whether you’re eligible to make a personal injury claim with one of our No Win No Fee solicitors for Chesterfield.

Why Is It Important To Have The Right Solicitor For Your Claim, And How Do You Choose Them?

Solicitors in the UK are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority but that does not mean that the level of service you’ll receive is the same as each one. Selecting the correct solicitor is the most important and first step you need to make.

It pays to have a specialist on your side, like Legal Expert, as it’s possible not all Chesterfield claims services will get the same outcome for your case i.e. one may lose your claim where another may win, and an experienced injury specialist may get a higher compensation payment than a less competent solicitor.

Read Solicitor Reviews To Help Choose A Solicitor Or Legal Firm

When choosing a solicitor to claim following an accident in Chesterfield or claims service that covers the Chesterfield area, it would make sense to call the solicitor directly to ask them questions, but another useful tool is reviews from previous clients.

The things to look for include how many recent claims have been reviewed, how happy are the clients with the support they received and are clients happy with the amount of compensation they actually received.

Will I Need To Use A Solicitor Close To Me?

There is absolutely no requirement for you to use a solicitor in Chesterfield to make your claim. Wherever your solicitor is based they will mainly contact you via the phone, email or postal service which means it doesn’t matter where their office is based.

If you are required to undergo a medical assessment, then we will ensure that you visit one of our local medical professionals to save you the hassle of travelling.

Find No Win No Fee Personal Injury Solicitors For Chesterfield

When you are eligible to make a personal injury claim for an accident in Chesterfield, our personal injury solicitors can provide support on a No Win No Fee basis. If one of our solicitors agrees to support your case, then they will offer a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). Claiming under such an agreement usually means the following:

• Your personal injury solicitor won’t charge you anything for their work before the claim starts or while it is underway.
• If the claim is not successful, you’re still not charged for your solicitor’s services.
• If your personal injury claim proves to be a success, then your solicitor will take a small and lawfully capped percentage out of your compensation. This is commonly called a success fee and ensures that you keep most of the compensation.
