Personal Injury
When an Injury Claim Is Really About Causation
We take on injury claims other firms turn down, because we do the medical groundwork before we advise on prospects.
Most injury claims fail on causation, not liability. The other side rarely disputes that an accident happened; they dispute that it caused the loss you are claiming for. That is a medical question, and it is where cases are won.
How we prepare a claim
We instruct the consultant before we send the letter of claim, not after. It costs us more up front and it means the first thing the defendant’s insurer reads is a properly evidenced figure rather than an opening position.
What it costs you
Nothing unless we recover. Our success fee is capped at 25 per cent of general damages and past losses, and we never take a share of damages awarded for future care.
Research & Evidence
We build the medical case before we build the legal one. That means the consultant’s report, the occupational therapist’s assessment and the care costings are in hand before the letter of claim goes out, not eighteen months later when the defendant’s insurer has already anchored the negotiation.
Medical evidence
We instruct from a panel of consultants we have used for years, chosen because they write clearly and hold up under cross-examination. Where a claim involves brain or spinal injury we obtain evidence from at least three disciplines before advising on value.
Losses and care
Future loss is where claims are won and lost. We work with forensic accountants on earnings and with case managers on the care regime, and we present both as a schedule the other side can check rather than a number they can dispute.
Key Benefits
Do I pay anything if the claim fails?
No. We act on a conditional fee agreement with after-the-event insurance, so there is nothing to pay if we do not recover damages for you.
How long will it take?
A straightforward road traffic claim settles in nine to fourteen months. Catastrophic injury claims take longer because we wait for the medical picture to stabilise before valuing future care.
Will I have to go to court?
Around one claim in twenty reaches a final hearing. Most settle at a joint settlement meeting once both sides have exchanged evidence.
What is my claim worth?
We will not give you a figure at the first meeting, because anyone who does is guessing. You will have a reasoned valuation once the medical evidence is complete.
