To pursue a compensation claim it is usually necessary to establish that somebody else was at fault. This will depend on the circumstances in which the accident occurred and the identity of the negligent party.
The level of compensation that can be recovered will depend upon the nature of the injury and the losses and expenses that arise as a consequence. This is not always easy to determine and disputes often arise. Pre-existing medical conditions may also have an impact on the claim whilst there may be more than one potential cause for a particular condition.
Expert medical evidence will often be required to address these issues. All personal injury compensation in England and Wales has a strict time frame as to when you should bring an action at court. The rule is that any court proceedings must be issued within 3 years from the date of the accident or the development of the injury.
