How to Make a Serious Injury Claim?

Any kind of serious injury can have a devastating and life changing effect on a person’s life. It may even mean that you may never work again, but it is possible to make a serious injury claim for the injuries sustained in the accident. Below is a stepwise guide that can be followed in making a successful claim.

Visit the Doctor:-

It is understandable that the accident was not your fault and you are disturbed about it. It is also understandable that your accident may have set you back financially. However, this does not mean you should not prioritise medical attention. The judge might hold you responsible for your injuries becoming worse due to an unnecessary delay in medical attention. This in turn will have a negative effect on your serious injury claim. 

Special Arrangement at Home:-

Unfortunately, due to your serious injury, you might not be able to live a normal life for some time or worse yet, for the rest of your life. You will need to make some special arrangements at home to accommodate your disabilities. Make sure you keep a record of all costs involved in making these changes.

Caretaker:-

Unlike minor injuries, you will have to make arrangements for a caretaker to look after you in your home. It may be someone from your family or a friend. Make sure that your caretaker maintains a record of the costs he/she had to bear in looking after you. These costs can too be claimed when making a Serious Injury Claim.

It is important that you maintain records of all medical, travelling and other costs so that they can be recovered as part of the Serious injury claim. For more information get in touch with 247 solicitors by phone on 01204 263000 or email info@247solicitors.co.uk.
