What is the process of making a serious injury claim?

The process of making serious injury claims, Staffordshire can be complex, and it can involve several stages.

Notice:

The injured party or their personal injury team must inform the defendant 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 defendant must acknowledge receipt.

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.

Liability:

After the investigation, the defendant may accept or deny liability. If the defendant accepts liability, they may require medical evidence. 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. The settlement should include monetary damages for the injury itself, and damages for any additional financial losses, such as loss of earnings.

Litigation:

If no agreement is reached during the Pre-Action Protocol process, the injured party may commence formal litigation by initiating court proceedings.

Claimants typically have three years from the date of the accident, or from the date of knowledge to make an accident claim. If the claimant is under the age of 18, they have until their 21st birthday to make a claim.
