Introduction to our Personal Injury Solicitors in Newcastle under Lyme
A personal injury claim is a means of obtaining, often by negotiation, compensation for the pain, suffering, loss of function and financial impact caused to a victim of an accident or to a person exposed to a harmful substance these can be physical or mental injuries. In the case of mental injuries, it is possible sometimes to claim for the shock of seeing a loved one injured. Claims can also be brought for stress, and as the victim of bullying in a workplace.
After a personal injury incident, emotions can easily take over and prevent legal action from being taken, which is often regretted afterwards. Here at Salmons Solicitors, we understand that the last thing you need is added stress, which is why our talented personal injury solicitors work so hard to ensure that the process runs as smoothly as possible for you and others involved in the case. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any queries about a personal injury case, we are more than happy to advise you!
Things to Consider Before You Start
As best as money can do, the function of this branch of the law is to put the injured person into the position he or she would have been in if the accident had not occurred.
What is compensation paid for?
Compensation is paid for the injury itself, for losses which have already occurred and for losses which may be incurred at some point in the future.
Who is the claim brought against?
Most claims are brought against persons, companies or corporations who are insured. They are represented by highly experienced negotiators and solicitors specializing in this area of law and whose function is to defend the claim in its entirety or at least to reduce the amount of compensation which is paid.
It is therefore vital that you have “equality of arms” and that you appoint a solicitor of your own to represent your interests.
Things to consider when locating a solicitor
Are you someone who would prefer to instruct a local solicitor? – It helps if long face to face meetings may be required and promotes a better service – it may mean you’re receiving more compensation?
