• What Do Car Accident Lawyers Do?

Sometimes the law can seem like a mystery. When you have had a road traffic accident, you have a vague idea that the lawyer will contact the other party and seek a settlement. But what do car accident lawyers actually do?

1. Initial assessment of your claim

The first step in the process is for the lawyer to assess your claim, to see whether it has any chance of success. This will depend on the circumstances of the accident, and the behaviour of the parties involved.
At Maximum Compensation you will receive a free assessment of your claim within 24 hours of making contact with us. A qualified specialist will let you know whether or not you should proceed with the claim, and advise you of the next steps.

2. Look after you

If you have had a road traffic accident, your car might not be driveable. At Maximum Compensation we can assist you by organising a courtesy car free of charge, if you have no alternative arrangements.

3. Formal instructions

Once you have decided to pursue your claim, your lawyers need to confirm your instructions. This will involve filling in a brief form to confirm your details and a short description of the accident. At 100% Compensation we are there to offer you assistance at all stages of the process, and as such are happy to answer any of your questions along the way.

4. Gathering evidence

Perhaps an ambulance was called to the scene of the accident. Or maybe you have seen a nurse of doctor about the resulting pain. Either way, the records from these medical encounters can be used to build your case. It might be necessary to get further evidence from a medical professional who specialises in assessing injuries for claims. If this is the case, we will arrange such an appointment free of charge, in a location as convenient for you as possible.

5. Starting the claim

After the evidence has been gathered, the car accident lawyers need to write a letter of claim to the other party involved. This letter sets out the nature of the claim, and gives details of the sum of accident compensation that you have in mind. If no offer of settlement is forthcoming in the time frame your solicitor has given, they will have to start the claim in court.

6. The court claim

Starting the claim in court does not put an end to the possibility of a settlement. In fact, the confirmation that the claim has become active in court often alerts the other party that you mean business and prompts an offer. Your team of lawyers can tell you whether the offer that has been made is a reasonable one.

7. The hearing

Very few cases actually end up needing a hearing. But if yours does, the car accident lawyers at Maximum Compensation will support you and explain what is happening at every step of the way. If the case is decided in your favour, you will receive your compensation. Unlike some other car accident lawyers, Maximum Compensation do not deduct anything from your compensation cheque. They claim their fees separately from the other party. And if you lose, Maximum Compensation will not charge you a penny.

100% Compensation offer the best car accident lawyers. They will assess your claim and deal with it free of charge. So why wait – start you claim today!
