A personal injury claim is a legal process which you can pursue if you have been hurt in an accident which was someone else’s fault. It is the process by which you recover compensation from the person or party who was responsible for your injury. 

Many in our community choose to approach Andrew and Andrew solicitors in Portsmouth if they have been in an accident or suffered an injury within the last 3 years, which has caused physical and financial suffering for themselves or their loved ones.

Why we’re chosen – and why to trust a solicitor

Our solicitors in Portsmouth have extensive experience in dealing with personal injury claims, and we will work on a ‘no win no fee’ agreement, which means that there are no upfront costs. It also means if your claim is unsuccessful, then you will have to pay nothing at all.

We use our knowledge and expertise to guide clients through every step of their claim to help ensure a positive outcome for them and their loved ones. Our friendly and professional solicitors in Portsmouth provide free consultations, so that you can speak to one of our experienced and friendly team to decide if you would like to proceed with us in dealing with your case.

If you decide to instruct us to deal with your personal injury claim, we will delegate one of our specialist solicitors who will offer you impartial and expert advice throughout the process and take care of all the legal work on your behalf.

The process of making a personal injury claim

We will begin by sending a formal letter to the person or party responsible for your injury. This may be a road traffic injury, an injury at work or an injury in a public place. We will also arrange for you to undergo an independent medical report, which will be necessary as evidence for your injuries.

The doctor will carry out a comprehensive examination and discuss your overall well-being following the accident or injury. They will write up a full report, which will be submitted to the defendant.

For what happens next, there are two possibilities. The defendant may accept responsibility for your injury, and you will receive an offer of compensation. If you are happy with this offer, then you can accept to settle the case, or you can ask our solicitors to negotiate for a higher amount. This is often chosen if you feel that the first offer is insufficient for your injuries or losses. If the case is settled in your favour, then you will receive your compensation, and the case will be closed on a positive note for you.

If the party does not accept responsibility and the case is lost, then, as we work on a no-win no-fee basis, you will not have anything to pay. However, upon your instruction or where we feel this is unfair to you, we will negotiate on your behalf, submitting further evidence where possible.

If the case is still unsuccessful, there is still nothing for you to pay. In some cases, where our solicitors feel that your case can be won, we will ask if you would like to proceed further, and we can take the defendant to court. Speak to us today and let us help you receive compensation for your losses.
