FAQs

Who can make a claim for personal injury?

If you have suffered injury as a result of someone else’s negligence or breach of duty, then you are entitled to bring a claim for compensation.

Can I claim for loss if I am the relative of a person who has died as a result of an accident / incident that was the fault of a third party?

If the case involves an accident that resulted in a fatality, then that person’s dependants may be able to bring a claim for the loss of that dependency, and the estate of the deceased may be able to bring a claim for personal injury on behalf of the person that has died.

What is a “No Win No Fee” agreement?

The majority of the personal injury cases we take on at Prettys are on a “No Win No Fee” basis. This is a contract between the client and Prettys that confirms that if we are not successful in pursuing your claim for personal injury against the third party, we will not seek to recover the legal fees we have incurred from you.

At Prettys, we will not take on a case unless we think that we have a good chance of succeeding with the claim against the third party, and we will be upfront and honest with you at all times in respect of the progress of your case, and therefore whether we can continue with the matter going forwards.

If you would like any further information about the terms upon which we could conduct your claim for personal injury, please do not hesitate to contact us.

How long will my case take to settle?

It may only take a few months to settle your claim for personal injury if responsibility is accepted quickly by the third party and your recovery from your injuries is such that Prettys can value the matter swiftly and proceed with your claim to settlement.

Accidents / incidents that cause more severe injuries and symptoms and which result in the client requiring extensive and ongoing treatment before we can obtain a final medical opinion and prognosis may take much longer before a settlement can be reached and the claim is brought to a conclusion.

Can I obtain interim payments to help me if I am off work following an accident / illness or if I require medical treatment?

If the third party admits responsibility for your accident and it is apparent that the injuries / illness that you have sustained are a result of that accident or incident, then we can look to obtain interim payments on account of your compensation to assist you whilst your case is being pursued.

These payments can also be obtained to pay upfront for any recommended treatment or immediate needs that you may have and to assist with your recovery.

Will I have to attend court?

The vast majority of cases settle without proceeding to court. In certain cases, for example when responsibility for your accident is not accepted by the third party or if there is a dispute over the value of your claim, then it may be that you would be required to attend a court hearing. However, if this is the case, Prettys will ensure that you are fully supported in taking part in the court process.
