How do I claim Personal Accident Medical Compensation?

It’s bad enough if you have a disease or condition, but suffered from an injury that was caused by the medical profession can leave you dumbstruck. That is why it could be worth claiming personal accident medical compensation, to help you rebuild your life, replace lost earnings and make up for the pain and discomfort you have suffered. These are the steps involved in the process:

Step 1 – Find a good lawyer

Finding a good lawyer is not as easy as it sounds. There are hundreds, even thousands in the phone book. So how can you distinguish between them, and what will they do for you?

Firstly, you need to narrow down the category of lawyers that you are looking for to those that specialise in personal accident medical compensation. It is a complex area, and ideally you need a personal injury lawyer who practises in this discipline the whole time. Maximum Compensation has teams of such lawyers. Our specialists are Law Society approved, and have years of experience in getting our clients the compensation they deserve.

Step 2 – Get a free claim assessment

Within 24 hours of filling in our online questionnaire, Maximum Compensation will get back to you to let you know the chances of your claim’s success. Perhaps you need to collate more evidence, or are entitled to claim more than you think. 100% Compensation will give you an honest appraisal of the circumstances, and will let you know what to do next if you want to pursue the claim.

Step 3 – Confirm instructions and gather evidence

To start claiming personal accident medical compensation, Maximum Compensation will send you some paperwork for you to read, sign and return in the post. Once your written instructions have been confirmed, we can start gathering the evidence we need to start your claim.

The evidence we might need can include your existing medical records and some expert evidence from additional medical practitioners who specialise in dealing with these kinds of claims. Do not worry about the costs of such appointments – we pay for them upfront and claim them back from the other party if you win your case. If you lose you case, the cost of these appointments come out of our pockets.

Step 4 – Start the claim

When all of the evidence is in place, we will start the claim. The first stage of this process is a letter to the person you believe was responsible for your injury, stating that you intend to sue for damages, and giving an indication of the compensation you will be seeking.

This letter will provoke either an offer of settlement, or confirmation that the other party intends to let the matter proceed to trial in a court.

Step 5 – Trial or settlement

If a settlement is offered, we will advise you whether or not it is a good deal. If no settlement can be reached, the matter will proceed to court. In this case, you might have to give evidence in front of a judge. This is nothing to worry about, as Maximum Compensation will explain to you what is going on at all times. Finally, your claim for personal accident medical compensation will end in a court judgement, where the judge will decide the matter for or against your claim. Remember, if Maximum Compensation are representing you, it will not cost you a penny whether or not your case is successful.
