Car Accident Injury - How Do You Claim?

Online, December 13, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Claiming for a car accident injury is fortunately not something that most of us have to do. But when you have been injured on the road due to someone else's negligence, you should consider claiming compensation for the pain and suffering that you have experienced.
In the first instance, you need to seek medical advice. Not only should you be checked out to ensure that you are receiving the correct treatment for your condition, but you also need to assess how bad the injury is so that your lawyers can ascertain how much compensation you might be entitled to.

Next, you need to find a good legal team to help pursue your claim for your injury.

Here are a few issues to consider when you are looking for a legal team

• Do the lawyers specialise in car accident injury cases?
Road traffic accident cases are very specialised, and present their own issues and challenges. Taking this into account, choose a lawyer or a team of lawyers that deals with such issues day in day out, and are accredited by the Law Society. At 100% Compensation, we have a panel of personal injury experts waiting to take your call.

• Does the firm offer a genuine no win no fee option?
Not all no win no fee agreements are the same. For example, some firms deduct a success fee from your compensation if you win, leaving you with only a fraction of what you are entitled to. Also, some firms insist that you pay for an insurance premium which covers the risk of having to pay the other party's fees if you lose the case. 100% Compensation do not deduct any success fee at any stage of the matter. Nor do they ask for any money at any moment in the claims process. The service is completely free - you do not even have to pay for the cost of the call to the helpline.

• Do they speak in plain English?
There is no use engaging a personal injury specialist if you do not understand the legal jargon and technical complexities that they spout. The team at 100% Compensation, on the other hand, speak in plain English and are sympathetic and friendly. They appreciate that you have suffered a traumatic experience and will treat you with sympathy and respect.

• Does the firm offer a tracking service?
As the client you have the right to know what is going on with your car accident injury case at all times. With our online tracking service, you can access a secure area of the 100% Compensation website and see what stage the personal injury experts have reached.

Once you have your compensation for your car accident injury, you can put the car crash behind you and move on with your life.
