This will depend on the type of injury you have sustained. If it was sustained in a car accident or road traffic accident, it may be the driver who caused the accident, with the damages recovered from their insurance company. If sustained in a public place, it may be the owner of the property or a government body. If the injury was sustained at work or because of work, it will most likely be your employer, with damages paid by their insurer.
Every accident is different, and no one claim is the same as another. This means that the claims process can differ according to the unique circumstances of each case.
Once you’ve provided us with all the necessary information, we can pursue your claim in the most efficient way. The unique circumstances of your case will determine how quickly we can bring it to a conclusion.
If there are disputes over who is responsible, called ‘liability’, or any serious losses or injuries, for example, the case may end up in court which can prolong the process.
Every case is different and various factors will determine how quickly we can bring your case to a conclusion. Factors such as disputed fault and the necessity of court proceedings to resolve issues in your case can influence the timeline.
We aim to have most injury cases concluded within 12-18 months, depending on the nature and complexity of injuries. It’s in your best interests to defer the conclusion of your case to ensure that a full picture of your situation is obtained, especially in cases involving ongoing medical problems caused by the accident. This allows us to ensure you are completely and rightfully compensated.
For non-injury claims, we generally aim to have your case concluded and compensation recovered within six months.
How much personal injury compensation you can claim depends on your accident, the circumstances surrounding it, and the losses suffered.
Although some claims can stretch well into the hundreds of thousands and beyond, many factors influence the outcome, such as:
We may need to obtain expert evidence before providing advice on the value of your case.
If you’d like an idea of how much you might be able to claim, contact our team for a free consultation, and we will give you our honest and expert opinion.
Our initial consultation is free and in fact, JMK Solicitors are the only solicitors in Northern Ireland who, as far as we are aware, are able to offer you an insurance policy which gives protection against the financial risks of bringing a claim for compensation for personal injury and other losses.
This policy covers not just your opponent’s costs, but also your own costs in the event that they cannot be recovered from another party. We believe that we are the only firm who offer any kind of legal costs cover on a complimentary basis – which means that, unlike other firms, when JMK Solicitors provide this to you, subject to following it’s terms and conditions, you will never be asked to pay for it from any compensation awarded.
It is natural, particularly when dealing with something as sensitive as a personal injury, that you want to ensure you have the best possible person dealing with your case. It will always be advisable to instruct a solicitor who is well experienced in dealing with personal injury litigation, to make sure you get the best possible outcome in your case.
If you have concerns about the way your case is being handled by your current solicitor, you should address this with them directly. Should you remain dissatisfied with their response to your concerns, then you may wish to seek a second opinion.
We at JMK Solicitors are always happy to help. We will give you an honest assessment of your case and the progress made to date, and then it is up to you to make the decision to stay with the solicitor you already have or to move.
Should you choose to move to JMK Solicitors, we will take care of all aspects of the move; all you have to do is make the decision.
We make people our priority at JMK Solicitors, and making sure you get a straightforward and honest service is our aim.
You have three years to initiate legal proceedings and the time usually starts from the date your accident occurred. However, it can also commence at a later date in certain circumstances, which we can advise you on.
By seeking timely legal advice, you can protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve following an accident.
