  • Notice. The injured party or their legal representative must inform the alleged responsible party of their intent to claim compensation for the injury sustained. The notice must contain the details of the injury, the circumstances surrounding the incident, and the compensation amount sought.
  • Acknowledgment. Within 21 days of receiving the notice, the alleged responsible party must acknowledge receipt and respond by admitting or denying liability.
  • Investigation. Both parties must investigate the incident and the extent of the injury. The defendant may request supporting evidence, such as witness statements or photographs.

If the defendant accepts liability, they may require medical evidence, and the injured party may have to attend a medical assessment with an expert to prove causation and the severity of their injuries. The injured party’s medical records may also be requested.
  • Settlement Offer. If liability is accepted, the responsible party may offer a settlement, whereas if liability is denied, the injured party may make a counter-offer.
