How do I make a claim for my car accident injuries?

 

**Step 1: Seek Medical Attention:** 

Your health is paramount. Seek immediate medical attention after an accident, even if you think your injuries are minor. This step is crucial not only for your well-being but also for documenting your injuries, which is a vital part of the claim process.The clue is in the name- you are after all, making a claim for personal injury. So, this is where we start: with our damages calculation. If you have suffered a serious injury as a result of a road traffic accident, at MG Legal, we start your claim by getting you to the best-qualified expert in their field, to assess your injuries, and prepare a report so we can negotiate settlement as soon as possible. There are no delays, no wasting of time, and you are covered by our Conditional Fee, 'No-Win- No Fee' Agreement.

Personal Injury Compensation 

 

Our No Win No Fee solicitors have been settling serious road traffic accident claims for more than 20 years. We specialise in serious injury claims, and our clients receive the maximum compensation when they work with our solicitors. From broken arms, and legs, to serious head injuries, we have seen it all, and settled thousands of claims, for our very happy clients.  

 

 

A big loss that many people do not always consider when claiming compensation is any loss of earnings. Employers have a right to reduce an employee's wages to Statutory Sick Pay (SPP) if they are off work ill for 4 or more consecutive days (including non-working days). SSP is currently paid at the rate of £109.40 per week for up to 28 weeks.  

 

In order to prove that you had suffered a loss of earnings, or to claim the difference in your wages back on behalf of your employer, you will need to prove that you have suffered a reduction in your pay. One way of showing this would be to provide pay slips to the defendent's insurers. For example, our expert team of solicitors would usually request that you provide us with 3 months' of payslips before the accident, a payslip for every month that you have had reduced pay, and 3 months' of payslips following your wage increasing to your full pay again.  

 

The point of compensation in a Personal Injury Claim is to put you back into the position that you would have been in should the accident have not occured. For example, if you had an operation that should only take one day trip to the hospital, you would reasonably expect to pay for one trip there and back, and/or one day's parking. However, if the operation was not correctly carried out, you may have another operation (or another 3 or 4!) to correct the damage. This can mean that you now have the added expense of the additional trips and parking. Our expert team of Medical Negligence and Personal Injury Solicitors can help you to claim this back so that you're not out of pocket for something that wasn't your fault. 

 

 

If you are perscribed medicine to help the healing process of your injuries, including physiotherapy or medicines, the cost of such medicine and procedures could be claimed back from the third party.  

 

Car accident injury claims can be complex, but MG Legal is here to simplify the process for residents of Preston, Lancaster, Lytham, Garstang, and Longridge. With our expert No Win No Fee solicitors, you can rest assured that your claim is in good hands.
