We believe that if you’re the victim of a personal injury, either minor or major, receiving the maximum compensation you deserve will propel the progression of moving past this setback in your life.

What is considered a personal injury?

A personal injury is a legal term that refers to the damage of your mind, body or psychological wellbeing. If an accident is the result of someone else’s negligence or misconduct, you’re legally entitled to pursue a personal injury claim.

Situations where personal injury may have been caused:

• The workplace
• A public place
• On holiday
• On the road
• During hospital or medical treatment

The most severe accidents, defined as catastrophic injuries, can alter your life forever, preventing you from returning to work or having to undergo long-term medical treatment.

Should you make a personal injury claim?

Before you start the process of making a claim, it’s essential to take into consideration the following questions.

• Are you eligible to make a personal injury claim?
• Who can you turn to if you want to make a claim?
• Are you able to provide a personal injury claims solicitor with the necessary information of your accident?
• Do you understand what the personal injury claims process entails?
• Can you expect a positive outcome?

How do you make a personal injury claim?

At CCH & Co., we strive to make the personal injury claims process as stress-free and straightforward as possible.

This process involves:

• Meeting with you to discuss and analyse the injury before putting in place the steps needed to achieve the maximum compensation.
• Contacting the insurers of the party who was at fault for your accident, requesting that they accept responsibility for your accident.
• Asking for an early interim payment to help fund your medical treatment.
• If the insurers don’t take responsibility, we’ll put together a case to prove their fault and defend your argument.
• If your claim is successful, your solicitor will guarantee that you receive your justified compensation.

It’s imperative you act now when the incident is still fresh in your mind; furthermore, you only have three years from the date of your accident to make a personal injury claim.

What compensation can you receive?

Given that every injury is personal to an individual, the amount of compensation that you receive will also be specific to your case.

There are two types of compensation that you can receive from a personal injury claim:

• General Damages – compensation for the actual physical injury or mental suffering experienced.
• Special Damages – compensation for the financial losses that are a direct consequence of your injury.

Let CCH & Co. represents your personal injury case

Don’t let the daunting task of legally pursuing your claim put you off receiving compensation for your trauma. We understand the implications that a fair compensation settlement will have on your life moving forward and endeavour to achieve the best results for you. While we handle legal matters, you can take the time to focus on improving your physical and mental wellbeing after the accident.
