Our comprehensive factsheet aims to remove the worry and guide you through the claim process, whilst looking at what might happen.
It covers everything from the types of vehicle insurance – whether fully comprehensive or third party, fire and theft – and explains what is meant by 'liability'.
Clients always ask how long a claim will take, and how much it'll be worth. The factsheet answers both these questions, and tackles the issue of who pays Access Legal from Shoosmiths' costs – essentially it'll depend on how your claim is funded.
Also covered are claims involving children, accidents involving uninsured/untraced/foreign motorists, courtesy and hire vehicles, inconvenience, vehicle storage costs, and medical evidence.
Crucially, the factsheet also explains how best to protect your means tested benefits should your compensation payment take your savings to more than £3,000, and suggests placing personal injury claims funds into a trust.
There's also a handy Q&A, which deals with client's most frequently asked questions, including My injury is very minor. Is it worth claiming? and I've now recovered from my injuries. Can I claim?
