How can personal injury compensation help?
A personal injury or illness can impact your life and the lives of those around you in many ways. Compensation can help make things easier by relieving the financial burden on you and your family.
Your personal injury compensation may help with costs for things such as:
- Private medical treatment
- Rehabilitation and specialist therapy services
- Any necessary home and vehicle adaptations
- Specialist equipment
- Care and household assistance
- Lost earnings (including future loss of earnings) and pension if you or your partner have to take time off work
- Travel to hospital appointments
How do I make a personal injury compensation claim?
Book a free initial chat with our expert personal injury solicitors
You can have a free initial chat with one of our experts before deciding whether to start a claim. This is your chance to tell us about what happened and the impact on your life. We can then answer any questions you have.
After your free consultation, we will let you know if we believe you can make a successful claim and how much compensation you might get. We will also discuss exactly what to expect from the claims process and the next steps you need to take.
You will be under no pressure to start a claim during or after your consultation – it should be your decision whether you want to move forward with a claim.
What is the time limit for personal injury claims?
You usually have 3 years to claim the date when you knew you were injured or ill and that someone else was likely to blame.
Exceptions to the standard 3-year time limit for personal injury claims include:
- For claims on behalf of children – the parents or guardians have until the child turns 18 to bring a claim. The young person can then bring their own claim up until their 21st birthday.
- For claims on behalf of someone who does not have the mental capacity to make their own decisions (for example, due to a severe brain injury or learning difficulties) – there is no time limit to make a claim
How many personal injury claims go to court?
Most personal injury claims are settled out of court through negotiation with the other side (the defendant) and their legal team. This means it is very unlikely that you will need to go to court to get compensation.
We will always get the maximum compensation possible for you and would not advise accepting a settlement that did not reflect this.
Personal injury compensation claims may need to go to court in rare cases. This will be if the defendant or their insurer does not accept liability or are unwilling to offer an acceptable level of compensation.
If court proceedings are needed, our expert personal injury solicitors on the Isle of Wight will make sure you fully understand what to expect and have the best representation.
I’m unhappy with my solicitor. Can I transfer my personal injury claim to Novum Law?
Have you started a claim with another firm and are unhappy with the results? Perhaps you feel the claims process is taking too long, you are dissatisfied with the service provided or the amount of compensation secured?
Our personal injury claims experts on the Isle of Wight can give you an independent second opinion. We can then take over your case if we believe we can achieve better results. We can often get higher settlements and secure compensation faster than other firms.
