Frequently Asked Questions
How much compensation am I entitled to?
The amount of compensation you are entitled to will vary depending on the severity and type of injury you have suffered. After examination by a medical professional, we can determine the likely impact of the injuries on your life and provide a suitable valuation for compensation. Many factors can influence the valuation, such as your ability to work, long-term effects, property damage, and so on.
Is there a time limit for making a personal injury claim?
Yes, there are time limits for making personal injury claims. In most cases, the time limit is three years from the date of the injury, but it can also be three years from the date a claimant knew that they were injured or unwell as a result of negligence. As such, it’s important to contact a solicitor as soon as possible if you are considering legal action.
How long does a claim take?
The length of time it takes to resolve a personal injury case largely depends on the specific aspects of the case. Larger claims, such as industrial or medical negligence, typically take much longer than a road traffic accident. In our experience, smaller claims take between 3-9 months, while larger claims can take up to three years depending on the severity and profile of the case.
Is my claim likely to go to court?
Our personal accident lawyers strive to ensure that claims are settled favourably and amicably out-of-court. In the majority of cases, claims are resolved well before court proceedings. However, there are still some situations that require court proceedings, such as if the defendants dispute your claim, reject responsibility, or do not respond to the claim. Nonetheless, if a claim does go to court, our solicitors will thoroughly prepare and support you for the processes involved.
Does Slater Heelis take on personal injury claims from across the UK?
Yes, we are a full-service law firm providing expert legal advice and support across the whole of the UK. Nonetheless, we are proud of our local beginnings and still hold offices in central Manchester and Sale. As a result, our suburban offices are highly successful in dealing with claims from the local populace of Altrincham, Chorlton, Stretford, Urmston, and – of course – Sale and Timperley. If you live in any of these areas and would like a leading solicitor with an in-depth understanding of the local area and its communities to help you with an injury claim, then please contact us today.
However, regardless of whether you’re local to our offices or on the opposite side of the UK, we treat every claim with the same high level of care, empathy, and expertise to help you after an accident.
