Handling your own personal
injury compensation claim.
Author: Matrix Jones
The process involved in handling your own personal injury claim can
appear overwhelming to most claimants. It certainly can become
confrontational and most claimants experience this when pursuing minor
personal
injuries
for instance further to a motor accident.
Some people confuse the insurance broker for the actual insurance
company. They also become confused as to whom they should be making
their injury claim
against. Then they become intimidated as to what to actually say in
their
letter of claim. A number of people respond by having a go at the broker
or the insurance company handling their injury claim.
One of the most contentious issues is the question of responsibility
for the accident. In the case of ‘hit up the rear’
then most people are
clear as to who is to blame. It is not un-common however for rear driver
to claim that the vehicle in front reversed into him. It could take
the evidence of a witness to determine the issue once and for all.
But what about those head on collisions or
‘pile-ups’ on the motorways?
The issue of liability could become difficult to resolve.
Also the extent of injury
sustained could vary from minor cuts and
bruises to the more severe type injuries
involving multiple fractures
and
paralysis or indeed fatal injuries.
What if the responsible driver does not have compulsory motor insurance
cover as required by law? What if it was a stolen vehicle and the
responsible party has decamped? Where do you stand in relation to
recovering compensation for your personal injuries and damage
to your
vehicle?
What if it was yourself that did not take out or keep up the premiums
under your motor policy? What redress do you have in law if liability
appears to be split for the accident? And how do you propose to meet the
other party’s claim for compensation for the personal injuries he and
his passengers sustain and for the damage to his vehicle and the cost of
hire of alternative transport?
What about hiring a solicitor? Can you afford to hire a personal injury
lawyer or are you confident that all your legal costs will be covered
100 percent under a ‘no win no fee’ contract?
Supposing you decide to go it alone and pursue your own claim for
compensation- do you know how much you are entitled to for the various
nature and extent of injuries
sustained.
