With our dedicated legal team by your side, the process of making a loss of limb compensation claim becomes clearer and more manageable. Here's a guide to the steps involved in doing so:
When you initially reach out to us, we'll assess the circumstances surrounding your injury and the viability of your claim, providing a roadmap for the journey ahead.
We’ll begin to gather evidence that supports your case. This may include medical documentation detailing the extent of your injury, any relevant photographs, CCTV or dashcam recordings, witness testimonies and other records. We'll also investigate any negligence or breaches of safety protocols that might have contributed to the incident.
When we feel confident that we have a strong argument to back up your claim, we'll draft and submit your case to the party at fault and their insurance company. We'll manage all communications, so that you can focus on your recovery.
If we can’t agree on a fair settlement for you, we may have to bring your case to court. Our team is experienced in representing clients in court, and we’ll make sure you're well-prepared for anything required of you.
If the claim is successful, we’ll make sure you receive the compensation you're entitled to. This will aid your recovery and help you move on with your life.
Typically, you have three years from the date of the accident to start a claim. However, there are some exceptions:
To have the best chance of success, contact us as soon as possible while the evidence is still fresh in your mind.
Your compensation amount is calculated based on the money you’ve lost due to losing your limb in an accident, and for the physical and mental toll it has taken on you.
The compensation you’ll receive can be broken down into two categories:
Your compensation amount will depend on the impact your injury has had on your life and the specific financial losses you have suffered. In most cases, losing a limb will be a life-changing injury, so the compensation you’ll receive should reflect that.
Switalskis approaches all of our personal injury claims on a no win, no fee basis, meaning you won’t be expected to pay your legal costs to us if your compensation claim isn’t successful. Also, you’ll never have to worry about any upfront fees. Instead, we will deduct your costs from your compensation amount, which will be calculated with this in mind.
Your insurance policy may also offer funding for legal expenses. For example, if your accident involved a car, you may be able to claim back some finances through your car insurance.
