Personal Injury Claims
The term ‘personal injury’ covers a broad range of injury and accident types. It
can include anything from whiplash sustained from a car accident, a broken ankle
from slipping on a pavement to cerebral palsy caused through medical negligence.
A personal injury can be physical or psychological, and can have long or short
term effects.
Personal injury claims can be complicated and time consuming. However,
with the help of specialist solicitors, the process can often be completed
easily and quickly.
At the CBN, we refer our clients to specialised personal injury lawyers who are
specially trained to help with personal injury claims. This invaluable initial
support is purely consultative and doesn’t cost a penny.
Benefits of Making a Personal Injury Claim
Many people find that, following an injury, they need to take time off work to
recover. However, the strain of financial difficulties can mean that they return
to work too early, thus worsening the injury.
Making a personal injury claim can ensure that your clients have the time they
need to fully recover, without having to worry about their finances.
Making a claim can also be a step towards preventing the injury happening to
anybody else. For example, a claim made following a car accident on a dangerous
blind corner may result in the highways agency erecting mirrors to make the
corner safer for other drivers, thus reducing the chance of the accident
happening in the future.
In fact, many people who make a personal injury claim do so for this reason
alone, regardless of the amount of compensation they may receive.
Free Personal Injury Advice
It’s important to have the best possible independent
advice in order to assess the value and potential success of your compensation
claim.
We can advise you on how much compensation your client is eligible for and how
long the personal injury claims process will take.
Our personal injury solicitors will decide whether a ‘no win / no fee’ agreement is
suitable for your client’s claim and do their best to make sure they receive
100% of the compensation they are entitled to.
Making an Accident Compensation Claim
Personal injury compensation is not a lottery win, an
injury claim should only be made where accident injuries have occurred that have
caused your client pain and suffering and/or financial loss. Accidents
compensation will not be paid out for near misses (e.g. prescribed the wrong
drugs by GP but pharmacist noticed) or a personal injury that does not really
affect your life (e.g. a cut on the hand that heals quickly and without fuss).
Just because an individual has been injured does not mean they will definitely
get accident compensation.
As a referring Associate you will receive commission of up to £200 for
identifying a claim which is accepted by a solicitor.
