Pursuing your claim

The Value of your Claim

If we advise you are likely to prove that you received substandard care which caused you material injury, we will consider in detail the effects of the injury and we will seek further evidence to help maximise the value of your damages award.  We will consider issues such as:-

  • cost of rehabilitation or further treatment;
  • the nature of your care requirements and the cost of meeting them;
  • loss of earnings;
  • the cost of special aids and equipment, from wheelchairs to touch screen computers;
  • the need for adaptations to your home or even the cost of a new home;
  • special educational needs;
  • mental health or community care needs;
  • tax efficient settlement options.

Procedure

We will present your case in as clear and thorough a manner as possible.  If your opponent does not admit responsibility, we shall commence court proceedings on your behalf and can take the matter through to trial, if necessary, providing you with advice and support at all stages.

We shall instruct experienced and specialist barristers to represent you at court and in complex cases the barrister will be involved with us in the preparation of your case.

We have experience of dealing with awards of damages which comprise both a lump sum and an annual tax-free payment for life, so that our clients have the security of knowing that there will be financial support available to help them meet their needs for the rest of their lives.

In cases where clients are so severely injured that they are unable to manage their own affairs, we have experience in dealing with the Court of Protection and in acting as a Court of Protection deputy, in which capacity we will provide continuing support to a family with the management of damages after the claim has been successfully concluded.

Where a claim is unsuccessful

If, after we have investigated your claim, it appears to us unlikely that you will succeed, you will at least have had the benefit of a full explanation of what has happened and you will understand your situation more clearly than you did at the outset.  In these circumstances we will discuss with you very carefully the reasons for our advice and we will ensure that you understand the position fully.
