Personal Injury Solicitors Leeds: Types of personal injury claims
Wildwood Legal assist clients throughout a range of personal injury claims.
The most common types of claims we assist with include:
· Motorbike/ Scooter accidents
· Road traffic accident claims
If you have suffered an injury due to an accident that was not your fault, you may be able to make a compensation claim if we can prove the accident was due to someone else’s negligence.
How much compensation will I receive?
It is very difficult to advise on the value of the claim with any accuracy until very late into a personal injury case.
A claim for personal injury is made up of two sections; in legal terms, we call these general damages and special damages.
General Damages: This refers to the amount you will receive for your pain, suffering and loss of amenity.
To calculate this amount, we look at previous cases similar to yours, together with guidelines issued to Judges who decide the outcome of such claims if they go to Court. Your case will be valued on the basis of your injuries as described by a suitably qualified medical expert.
Special Damages: These are any direct financial losses that you may have suffered as a result of your injuries. Typically, these may include loss of earnings up to the settlement, loss of earnings in the future, medical costs or the costs of care provided to you.
Our clients tend to make these claims due to road traffic accidents, catastrophic injuries, accidents at work, medical negligence, clinical negligence, and those exposed to asbestos due to negligence.
How much does it cost to make a personal injury claim?
Wildwood Legal, personal injury solicitors, Leeds, will almost always pursue your case on a conditional fee agreement (also known as no win, no fee basis).
This means that if you do not win your case, you do not pay us any fees at all. However, if we win the case, we take a small percentage of your compensation, which we will agree with you beforehand, to cover our costs.
We will never ask you to sign anything until you are completely happy with our proposed terms.
How long does it take to make a personal injury claim?
We do our best to progress your claim as quickly as possible; we have to allow a certain amount of time under the Court Rules for defendants to respond.
However, you should never settle your claim until your injuries have either resolved or started to improve. Settling earlier than this would run the risk of you not receiving maximum injuries compensation
When someone has serious injuries, it can take a long time before the medical evidence and the associated financial losses can be finalised. We will always advise you on what we believe are realistic timescales for your case.
