Your Injuries

You may have a claim if you have experienced an injury in one of the following ways. These include on a building site during manual labour; in an office; in a hotel, pub, or restaurant; as a driver; in a public place; at a function; on business property; as a pedestrian; and on public transport.

If your accident was caused by someone else, our team of Cumbernauld personal injury lawyers possess the skillset to support your claim regardless of how serious your injuries may be. If the accident was not your fault, you deserve compensation and justice. So, we can explain how to claim.

The Process Of Making A Claim

We do everything we can to help make the claims process as straightforward as possible. Our team take care of all the legal paperwork and handle any calls that need to be made, allowing you to go about your daily routine ordinarily. Typically, a personal injury claims process consists of three main steps:

1. Accident Q&A
2. Getting in touch with the responsible party
3. Settling on a compensation fee

The first part of any case involves a question and answer session. Here, our personal injury solicitors handling the Cumbernauld area will sit with you and discuss what happened during your accident. We shall ask you just a few straightforward questions. These include: when and how would your accident and injury occur (e.g. road traffic accidents)? Were you alone at the time, or do you have a witness? What sort of injury/ injuries did you suffer? Did you have to have any medical procedures to help recovery from the injury? Did you have to pay any medical bills because of the injury, or is medical negligence a factor? And have you had to take time off from work due to your injury?

Further points

This Q&A session will be conducted at a time that suits you and will be done informally to help you feel as comfortable as possible throughout.

If we believe you have a viable claim, we will then make contact with the person/organisation who we believe is responsible for causing your accident. They will normally have around 3 months to reply to our personal injury solicitors for Cumbernauld and state whether they are liable. However, this can vary depending on the specific nature of the case.

If the defendant admits liability, our personal injury lawyers for Cumbernauld will arrange a meeting and discuss a settlement fee. If they refuse to admit they were at fault for causing your injuries, the case will be taken to court, where our personal injury solicitors will argue your claim before a judge. Whether the defendant admits liability or not, you are guaranteed that your solicitor will keep you updated at every stage and ensure that you know exactly what is going on in language that you understand rather than the usual legal jargon.

Some personal injury claims are settled in weeks, whereas others can last for several months. Whatever happens, our Cumbernauld personal injury lawyers will do everything in their power to ensure that your case is dealt with as quickly as possible and you get the compensation and the justice that you deserve. And this happens on a No Win No Fee basis to protect your financial circumstances.

Your Compensation

It’s difficult to determine how much compensation you could receive until we hear the ins and outs of your claim. After we have established how the accident occurred and what sort of injuries you have sustained, our legal team will be able to provide you with an estimated compensation payout figure to give you a rough idea of what your case may be worth.

If you have been injured because of another party, contact our Cumbernauld personal injury solicitors today by calling us on 0800 073 8804. We can advise you on how to claim.

Compensation Settlement Estimates

Let us now talk about how much compensation you could feasibly win as part of your personal injury claim. So, this is the level of money that you will receive as part of a settlement. That could come from a court trial, but it is highly likely to come from pre-trial negotiations. But regardless of where it stems from, this is the amount of money that demonstrates you receiving justice. Note that the defendant won’t always admit liability, but they prevent claims such as yours from reaching court by paying out. But how much could you actually receive?

Well, this depends on several factors. One of these is the injury itself and the nature of the pain and suffering that you’re currently enduring. Another is the severity of your pain and how much the injury is impacting your life. And then, we come to other factors, such as time off work and the amount of medical treatment necessary. All of which means that payout figures can vary. Therefore, you may find this table useful. It lists a range of theoretical compensation payouts for cases as per the recommendations of the Judicial Guidelines. Note, though, that these act merely as guidance and aren’t a guarantee for your own case.

The Importance Of A Medical Assessment

So, you know how much that you could receive as part of your personal injury claim is successful. But there is one other factor that would be instrumental in determining what payout you could be the recipient of. That would be your independent medical assessment under the supervision of a neutral doctor. Now, you might think, “I already know my injuries; why do I need a follow-up assessment? Are the findings of my original medical evaluation not sufficient?” No, and here’s why.

For one, it could be a year, two years or close to three years since the accident. Consequently, your condition may be now different from the initial aftermath of the accident. Furthermore, the defendant will do everything possible to try and avoid losing the case. This means raising doubt over any evidence where they feel that a debate is reasonable. And that could apply if your only medical evidence is almost historical. Therefore, an up-to-medical assessment is imperative and could a long way towards you winning your case. Want to know more?

Can I claim anxiety after a car accident?

Yes, though you need conclusive medical evidence with your doctor stating that anxiety is affecting you.
