The first thing to establish in making a claim is what your claiming for.  This may sound like a ridiculous and obvious thing, in reality though many people really don’t know what their problem is.

I review countless cases each day from a cola bottle purchased with Arabic writing on it, to an RTA (road traffic accident) involving no third party just bad driving on the vehicle owners part with no injury.
So think about it and categorise your complaint.

Have you for example:

• Suffered and been injured from an accident while you were at work.
• Been injured in a car accident that was not your fault maybe you were a vehicle passanger.
• Suffered from medical negligence.
• Had an accident in a shop or on the road maybe you slipped or tripped over and hurt yourself.
• Been unfairly dismissed from your place of work.
• Suffered injuries from a violent attack.
• Suffered injuries from an accident that was not your fault.

Whatever the case may be, you may not have to have major injuries or any at all to receive compensation however in the case of personal injury it does help with the claim.  Consider the injury you have suffered, every type of injury has a value.  Many no win no fee solicitors will make an assessment on whether they will take on your claim based upon the fact of the injury value.

It sounds really harsh I know but it’s a true fact.  I receive many denials based upon insufficient injuries.  So it’s important to be clear about what your injury is and go and see a doctor.  This is really important if the case goes to court to prove your injury after the event.  You can also look at www.realcompensation.co.uk for information relating to the claim value.
