Filing a Successful Claim

If you have suffered injury or damage through no fault of your own, you may be interested in filing a claim to seek compensation for your damages. There are several ways to approach the legal process. Many people choose to work with a ‘no win no fee’ attorney who does not collect legal fees until and unless the case is won. They take a percentage of the compensation check. Review the information about injury and property damage compensation that relates to your type of accident. The following accident types may entitle you to compensation if the fault lies with another party:

• Road traffic accident – This type of accident refers to any accidents in which a motor vehicle was involved.  This applies whether the injured party was in another vehicle, was a pedestrian, was riding a bicycle, was on a motor bike, or any other circumstance where one is injured by a motor vehicle.  Car accidents account for more injuries every year with more and more cars on the road.
• Criminal Injuries – Victims of crime may apply to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.  You may be paid compensation if you as a victim have been injured directly as a result of the crime.   There are 25 levels of compensation depending on the extent of your damages.
• Work Related Injury – You may request a claim for a work related injury if you can supply evidence that your injuries are the result of an accident or the work environment.  Document all evidence such as contact information for witnesses and others involved in the accident.  Save medical records and any photographs of the injuries.  The employer is responsible to provide proper training, safe facilities, maintained equipment, safety gear, and safety regulations.
• Slip, Trip, or Fall in a public or private place -  If you have been injured by slipping, tripping, or falling, your solicitor will be able to advise you about the validity of your case.  It may be difficult to sort out who is at fault.  Give yourself the benefit of expert counsel.  Provide your law firm with any evidence that may help with your case.  For example, if you have fallen and cut yourself on ice, take a picture of the icy location.  Take pictures of your injuries and provide requested medical records.  Try to give your lawyer contact information of any witnesses.
• Medical Negligence – You may claim compensation if you have been injured or made worse by medical malpractice.  Your solicitor will have to prove that your injuries are a result of medical negligence.  A medical expert may be called in to verify the details of the case.

Once you have chosen an attorney, you will be required to answer all questions with sincerity and clarity. Legal proceedings may take a long time. Although these cases are complicated, it is up to your attorney to help you to understand your chances of success. The information you gather before you start your claim will help you understand the process and persevere throughout.
