Disputes, Claims, & Solicitors: The Personal Injury Handbook

When faced with injuries caused by an accident or incident, most people aren’t aware of all the types of personal injury claims and cases that exist. It's hard enough to deal with the stress of injury, let alone file claims, dispute resolution and find the right personal injury solicitor. Becoming more familiar with the claims can help you with all of these as well as making medical coverage more successful.

In this blog post, we’ll discuss three important parts of personal injury claims:



Personal Injury Claims

From car accidents, injuries at the workplace or even slips and falls - these can all be due to someone else’s negligence which they are liable for.

Ensure to document any injury that has occurred, and make sure you take pictures of the scene and any written proof of injury from a doctor or hospital. Your solicitor can also give you more advice for filing cases against the responsible party as well as offering more resources to better help your claims succeed.

Personal Injury Solicitors

Our solicitors at Almy & Thomas represent injury victims in several practice areas under personal injury law. While you might be able to take on all the issues involved, you have a lot at stake to go it alone from medical billings to investigating police, insurance companies and HR. It can be a lot for one person.

Personal Injury Solicitors will use records obtained to evaluate your personal injury claim; track down and interview witnesses, obtain existing scene photos/videos/diagrams and gather employer/police reports. Recognising and anticipating legal issues before arising and intervening when need be can be a headache which is where a personal injury solicitor comes in handy.

During these confusing times, your personal injury solicitor intervenes on your behalf to deal with the legal side to protect your legal rights under relevant tort law to ease your stress and stay vigilant while representing you till you settle.

Dispute Resolution

There are many ways to solve a dispute; ultimately depending on the type and severity. Litigation; the process of taking legal action may not be necessary in some claims as well as achieving cheaper and faster results. Which is where dispute resolution can come into play.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

ADRs may enable results without commencing proceedings inside of the courts. Discussions and negotiation through mediation, arbitration, written negotiation and early neutral evaluation via third parties may resolve disputes if both parties can form an agreement.

The use of dispute resolution can cut the expenses and stress for you, these settlements can also help maintain relationships if the claim is against family or friends, litigation can be time-consuming and emotional as it is not always necessary to achieve an outcome you’re content with.
