How to make a Personal Injury Claim: A Solicitor’s Guide for the Injured

At Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors we understand that navigating this process may feel overwhelming. With decades of experience helping thousands of clients in Liverpool and across Merseyside, we are here to break down the steps, answer common questions, and give you the confidence to pursue the compensation you deserve.

What Qualifies as a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim arises when you have been injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, such as:

  • Workplace accidents: Employers have a duty to keep you safe in the workplace. If you have been injured at work, you could have a claim.
  • Slips, Trips, and Falls: If you are hurt due to hazardous conditions in a public place, such as a wet floor or uneven pavement, you may be able to seek compensation.
  • Road Traffic Accidents: Whether you are a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian, you may be entitled to compensation if injured in a crash that was not your fault.

We specialise in serious injury claims– accidents which have resulted in serious or long-lasting injuries and disabilities which can include: brain/neurological, neck and spinal, amputation, loss of use of a limb, serious burns/scarring, chronic pain and serious psychological injuries.

Step-by-Step Guide to the Personal Injury Claims Process

The team at Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors take the mystery out of making a claim, and this is how it works:

1. Initial Consultation: We start with a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your case. We will review the details of your accident and explain your options.

 

2. Fact Finding and Evidence Gathering: Solid evidence strengthens your claim, so we will help you collect it. This may include accident reports, CCTV footage, witness statements and photographs. Getting evidence promptly can make all the difference, so it is essential to act sooner rather than later.

 

3. Medical Reports: Medical records and expert opinions are vital for substantiating the nature and full extent of your injuries. We will arrange for an independent medical examination to provide an assessment of your injuries and prognosis, which will inform the amount of compensation you are entitled to seek.

 

4. Establishing Liability: We will identify the responsible party and work to prove your case. This often involves communicating with insurers, analysing evidence and consulting with experts to build a strong case.

 

5. Negotiation and Settlement: In the majority of cases we will seek to negotiate with the Defendant’s representatives to reach a fair settlement that covers losses such as medical expenses and loss of earnings in addition to damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity. With skilled negotiators on your side you are more likely to secure a full, fair settlement.

 

6. Going to Court: Most claims settle out of court. In some cases legal proceedings are required. If we need to take your case to court, rest assured that our experienced solicitors will represent you with tenacity, ensuring your case is presented with clarity and strength.
