Our Personal Injury Claims Process

Reviewing your Personal Injury claim

In your initial consultation, we will invite you to discuss the circumstances of your accident from which we will be able to advise you on the validity of pursuing a Personal Injury claim.

We will review:

• The circumstances of your accident.
• Who could be held liable for your accident and subsequent injury.
• The extent of your injuries and how they have affected your ability to work and live.
• The timeline of the injury and whether you are within the strict time limits that apply.

If your case appears to be viable, then we will explain the process ahead of you and your legal rights. We will also explore all of your funding options, including No Win, No Fee arrangements, so that you have a full understanding the costs involved.

Gathering evidence and establishing your claim

The next stage of the process involves collecting evidence in support of your Personal Injury claim, which may include:

• Photographs or CCTV footage.
• Witness statements.
• Accident or incident reports.
• Medical records and treatment history.
• Employer records, where the injury occurred in the workplace or where the injury has resulted in time off from work.

Our Personal Injury Solicitors and Legal Advisors in Haverfordwest will also evaluate your financial losses, including lost earnings, the cost of recovery or additional care, and travel expenses. Our goal is to build a well-supported and robust case with evidence that clearly sets out the extent of your injury and its impact on you.

Contacting trusted medical experts

In order to fully support your Personal Injury claim in Haverfordwest, we will contact medical professionals to carry out an independent assessments of your injury by way of an examination. They provide crucial reports that detail your injuries, recovery, and long-term or permanent effects.

For those clients who are already receiving treatment, we will work hand-in-hand with your current healthcare provider to collate medical evidence and ensure that your ongoing rehabilitation or care needs are fully accounted for in your claim.

Drafting your Letter of Claim

Once our Personal Injury Solicitors and Legal Advisors in Haverfordwest have your account of the accident circumstances , we will formally notify the Defendant (the responsible party) by drafting and sending a Letter of Claim, which details:

• The circumstances of the incident.
• How and why, we are holding them  responsible for your accident and subsequent injuries.
• The nature and extent of your injuries.
• The medical experts we are intending to instruct and the evidence we are seeking to rely on.

From here, the Defendant will typically have a set period within which to acknowledge and respond to the letter before they then investigate the accident. During this time, we will continue monitoring your recovery and gather any additional evidence if needed.

Negotiating the Defendant’s response

The Defendant, their legal insurer or their team can either accept responsibility or deny it, which will determine our next steps. If liability is accepted, then once the medical expert evidence has been finalised we can progress towards settlement negotiations.

Negotiating with the Defendant

• Reimbursement of financial losses.
• Provisions for your future care needs and medical rehabilitation.

Most Personal Injury claims can be successfully settled at this stage without the need for issuing Court proceedings. We will only progress matters to Court where it is strictly necessary for you to be fairly compensated.

Court proceedings

Court is sometimes unavoidable, typically when the Defendant denies liability or refuses to provide a reasonable settlement. In this event, we will be support and advise you at every stage of the process, helping you to:

• Prepare your case for Trial.
• Instruct barristers and medical or other experts where needed.
