The personal injury claims process
The first step in the personal injury claims process is to consult a personal injury solicitor who specialises in your specific type of claim. At Miya Solicitors, we offer a no obligation initial consultation, where one of our experienced solicitors will assess the merits of your case and provide free legal advice. Where the case is suitable, our solicitor can agree to represent you on a No Win, No Fee basis, so you do not pay legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful.
Determining liability and gathering evidence
Once you have appointed a personal injury solicitor, they begin the process of determining liability for your injuries. This involves identifying the party or parties responsible for your accident or negligence. Our solicitors carry out a thorough investigation, gathering witness statements, accident reports, medical records and any other relevant documentation. In complex cases we may instruct specialists to assess the accident scene or review CCTV footage for additional evidence.
Assessment of injuries and medical records
To support your claim it is important to establish the extent of your injuries and their impact on your life. Our solicitors work with medical experts to assess your injuries, review your medical records and obtain a detailed medical report. The report sets out the nature and severity of your injuries, the prognosis for recovery and any long term effects on your physical and mental wellbeing.
Negotiation and settlement
After the calculation of compensation, our solicitors enter into negotiations with the party responsible for your injuries or their insurance company. Our experienced negotiators strive to reach a fair settlement that reflects the full extent of your damages. Throughout the negotiation process we keep you informed and provide expert advice on the offers and counter offers made. Our primary objective is to secure the best possible settlement on your behalf, avoiding the need for lengthy court proceedings.
