Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a compensation claim take?
The timeframe varies significantly depending on the complexity of your case, the defendant's response, and whether court proceedings are required. Simple claims may settle within 12-18 months, while complex cases can take 2-3 years. We work efficiently while ensuring your claim is thoroughly prepared to achieve the best outcome.
What if I can't afford legal fees?
We work on a no win, no fee basis for most personal injury and medical negligence claims. This means you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful. We have access to a dispursement funder that can assit you to cover the costs of your expert report fees throughout the claims process.
Do I have to go to court?
Most claims settle without going to court. Negotiation and alternative dispute resolution (mediation, settlement conferences) are usually successful in reaching fair compensation. However, if the defendant or their insurer won't make a reasonable offer, we're fully prepared to represent you at trial. You'll be involved in all decisions about whether to settle or proceed to court.
How much compensation will I receive?
Compensation depends on many factors including injury severity, impact on work capacity, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and future care needs. Following our investigation and expert assessment, we can provide an estimate of your potential compensation. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and explain any settlement offers we receive.
What do I need to bring to my initial consultation?
Bring any documents you have relating to your injury or treatment — medical records, incident reports, photographs, correspondence with insurers, etc. However, don't worry if you don't have everything. We can obtain most documents on your behalf. The most important thing is to bring your story and any questions you have.
Will I have to give evidence or be examined by doctors?
Yes, as part of the claims process you'll likely need to be examined by independent medical experts (arranged by us and sometimes by the defendant). If your case goes to court, you may need to give evidence. We'll thoroughly prepare you for any examinations or court appearances, and we'll be with you every step of the way.
