When making a claim for compensation it is important to remember that you only have one chance to recover compensation for any injuries you sustained as a result of an accident, be it a road traffic accident, an accident at work or a slipping and tripping accident. You have three years from the date of your accident to recover compensation and if your case settles you are not entitled to go back and seek more compensation at a later date. You must therefore make sure that you appoint the right Solicitors to deal with your case, to ensure that your claim settles for its maximum possible value.

We recently were contacted by a former client of ours who was involved in a road traffic accident and had appointed another firm of Solicitors to act on his behalf. They had obtained an offer to settle his claim of £1,800.00. They told him that this offer was the best offer he would get and recommended that he accept it. He contacted us as he felt the offer was too low.

We obtained his file of papers from the other firm of Solicitors and reviewed his case thoroughly. It was clear that the medical evidence the Solicitors obtained was not suitable as it did not address a number of issues including (importantly) the psychiatric injury the gentleman had sustained as a result of the accident. We obtained new medical evidence, submitted it to the insurers and settled the gentleman’s case for £16,000.00, nearly nine times the original offer that had been recommended by his previous Solicitors.
