[b][PORTSMOUTH, 06/07/2018][/b] - Andrew & Andrew solicitors can help any client who wishes to file a personal injury compensation claim. In order to do so, it needs to be established that the injury was not their fault.

Examples of personal injury include work-related accidents, traffic accidents, an injury following the use of faulty goods and services, medical malpractice or an injury based on discrimination. Andrew & Andrew solicitors have over 60 years of experience in all types of personal injury claims and will guide clients through the procedure.

[b]Courses of Action[/b]

Andrew & Andrew solicitors will inform their clients on the appropriate course of action following a personal injury. Andrew & Andrew solicitors will also offer advice to their customers in order to build the strongest case possible. It is important to remember that time limits apply to personal injury claims, and Andrew & Andrew solicitors will need to make their clients aware of any deadlines. Once all the evidence is gathered, Andrew & Andrew solicitors will file a complaint, usually accompanied by a claim for compensation.

[b]What to Do After an Accident Occurs[/b]

The first thing to do when an accident happens is to inform the police, if applicable. If the accident happened at work, Andrew & Andrew solicitors will advise clients to ensure that it was formally recorded in the accident book. If there is no accident book, then a report of the accident should be sent to the employer. In any case, with the help of Andrew & Andrew solicitors, those affected by the accident should gather as much information and physical evidence as possible (i.e. photographs). Witnesses and medical reports are also very important for Andrew & Andrew solicitors, as this information will help them create a solid case.

[b]Making a Complaint[/b]

If a client decides to proceed with a complaint, they should know in advance that compensation is not a guaranteed outcome. In some cases, Andrew & Andrew solicitors will draft a separate compensation claim, though it is possible to receive compensation for a personal injury through a claim to the Criminal Injuries or via special government compensation schemes.
