The claims process
It’s important that an appropriate independent expert is instructed to
medically examine you and provide a medical opinion. We will arrange this for
you. The expert will have access to all medical records including pre-accident
records. Depending on the severity of the injury more than one expert may be
required.
Once the medical evidence has been accepted by you, we will
send the report to the opposition and request their offers.
The
opposition then has 21 days to make their offer of compensation.
Should no offers be forthcoming legal proceedings will commence. At this
stage the court sets a timetable for the mutual exchange of documentation that
we wish to rely upon. For instance, the exchange of witness and medical
evidence. The court will also provide an estimated date for the trial, which
will be dependant on the complexity of the case.
Throughout the full process openness and co-operation between the parties
is required.
