If you want to make a personal injury claim because you have been injured in an accident that was not you fault, there are some facts you should know before you start.
You need to fit the criteria
The rules for making a personal injury claim are:
· The accident should have been the fault of someone else
· You should have sustained injures to your body or mind
· The injuries must have warranted medical attention
· The accident must have happened within the last three years
There are exceptions to the 3 years rule, if the victim was a minor at the time, or you have an industrial illness, but when you are claiming accident compensation the lawyers will explain these to you if necessary.
You need to gather your evidence
To make a claim there is some information to prove your case that will be needed:
· Where, when and how the accident happened
· Who you blame for the accident
· Details of any witnesses
· A medical report on your injuries and prospects for your recovery
· If the police or HSE were involved, a copy of the report they would have compiled
· If you were able to take photos of the scene, they could be useful
· Any other information you have that you think might strengthen your claim
