Serious Injury Claim Solicitors in Stoke-on-Trent

Our injury claim experts have particular expertise in claims involving serious head and brain injuries, limb loss and amputations, full and partial paralysis and severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Our clients know they are in safe hands with us, as we provide a free initial assessment to determine whether a claim may be possible.

It may also be possible for us to act on your behalf where other solicitors have said that a claim is not possible (given our experience in handling unusually complex cases). Arrange a free, no obligation appointment with us today.

As professional experts, we will assess the circumstances in which your accident occurred, tell you we think a claim is possible and, if so, how likely it is that any claim you make will succeed.

Stage 1.

First, we’ll need an assessment of your case to decipher whether a claim is possible.

Stage 2.

We’ll then determine where the responsibility for your accident lies, ascertain who you can sue and decipher whether the person identified can settle a claim made, for example, under the terms of their insurance.

Stage 3.

We’ll then evaluate how much compensation you are entitled to receive. This outcome depends on the extremity of your injury and the impact it has had (or will have) on your future life experience and finances. You will need to attend one or more medical appointments as part of this process, which we appreciate may be distressing but is integral to ensuring that your claim is assessed as accurately as possible.

Stage 4.

Then, we’ll begin negotiations with the person you’ll be making the claim against to see if they will agree to an out of court settlement and an interim payment. This payment could be an upfront payment of part of the compensation you will eventually receive.

Stage 5.

The final stage is the instigation of court proceedings (in the event that an amicable resolution cannot be agreed).

Through each stage, our solicitors will stand by you and practise excellent communication so you know where you stand.  You can be assured that you’re in good hands.

Most serious personal accident claims will require all five stages to take place. However, it is rare for a case to require a formal hearing before a judge because a mutually acceptable settlement is nearly always agreed upon at some point before this becomes necessary.

We understand that this can be off-putting for many people, however, it is crucial to say that by being patient, you can ensure you receive the total amount of compensation to which you are entitled after your claim is processed to completion with care.

A positive of this is that you can spend the time it takes to resolve your case to focus on recovering, usually with the benefit of specialist rehabilitation services. We can help you to access this with the support of one or more interim payments provided by your opponent.

After your accident, we know your focus needs to be on recovering and securing access to treatments and rehabilitation therapies to promote healing. We also understand that financial concerns may start to worry you and if not addressed quickly, could impact your mental health.

We’re here to face your challenges with you and secure you the financial, physical and emotional support that you need to overcome them. Part of our role is to:

• Liaise with medical experts to ensure you receive suitable care and arrange private treatment where needed.
• Help you to obtain prosthetics and mobility aids.
• Ensure you and your family have accommodation with housing that meets your needs.
• Assess your financial position and seek compensation to ensure you are not left out of pocket.
• Look to the future and do everything we can to put measures in place that make your life going forward as happy and fulfilling as possible, giving you maximum freedom and independence as can realistically be achieved.
