The Process

  • Irrespective of the type of compensation you seek, you are now required to comply with very strict timeframes for the completion of specific forms and service of those forms upon the correct person or insurance company.
  • If you do not complete the correct form correctly and accurately within the strict timeframe, you may lose your right to claim compensation, even in circumstances where you may be deserving and in need.
  • Once you have completed the form to the satisfaction of the person or insurance company of the person responsible for your incident, generally speaking, there is a period of up to six months for the investigation of the circumstances of your claim. Once those investigations are complete the person or insurance company for the person must tell you if they agree that they were at fault.
  • Whilst the investigation process takes place, it’s necessary to gather the proof or “evidence” of your loss to support your claim for compensation. This can often take up to nine months from the date of your incident.
  • Once fault or “liability” has been determined and the proof or “evidence” has been gathered, we can negotiate an out of court settlement with the person at fault or the insurance company acting on their behalf.
  • The vast majority of claims for compensation are settled “out of court”.
