Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury
A Personal Injury claim refers to any claims for compensation that you are entitled to make when you’re involved in an accident that was not your fault. Usually, the claims are filed against the person or company that is liable for any injury caused to you, and you then negotiate a settlement with the liable party’s insurance company. If that does not resolve the case, then it will be brought to court, where it’s important to have a lawyer that will help you fight for justice.
You can claim as soon as the accident happens and it’s in fact better to act now than later, as you might end up running out of time or losing any evidence. If you’re not sure whether you can claim, we can advise you on what would be best for your situation at no cost with a free consultation.
