If you’ve been injured in an accident that was not your fault and you are looking to make an accident claim, it is probably fair to say that in the days immediately after your accident, your priority is going to be on recovering, not on filling out mountains of paperwork to make your claim. At Camps Solicitors we understand that for many injured people, the prospect of making an accident claim might seem quite daunting – especially if they are still not feeling 100%. This is exactly why we offer a no cost home visit service to all our injured clients as part of their accident compensation claim.
As with most aspects of law in England and Wales, making an accident compensation claim requires a lot of paperwork to be filled in and exchanged between solicitors, the courts, expert witness, the claimant and the defendant. Even with an increasing amount of the process of making a claim taking place via online portals, an accident claim still requires a substantial amount of written evidence, witness statements and testimony from the accident victim.
Advantages of a home visit
By coming out to see you, rather than having you come into our offices, we save you time and money. When arranging your visit we can work round your schedule, so if you are in work and would prefer to meet in the evening or during your lunch hour that won’t be a problem. On the other hand, if you have children then we can call round during the day when they are at school. We make it our business not to rush you during this meeting, which is why you should typically expect a home visit to last between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the type of accident claim you are going to make and how much information we have already had from you via phone or email.
Taking the strain out of your accident claim
The good news, if you are someone who was injured in a non-fault accident, is that the home visit service offered by Camps Solicitors really helps to make the process of claiming accident compensation simple and straightforward. When you contact Camps, either by phone, email or through our website, our client liaison team will arrange for you to receive a home visit from one of our team of representatives to take down the important information we need from you to begin your accident compensation claim.
What to expect from your accident claim home visit
You don’t have to be worried about being bombarded by mountains of legal paperwork, at your home visit our representative will explain everything that we ask you to sign or fill in. It is also worth remembering that all of our clients are able to contact their solicitor or the member of staff working on their claim at any point to discuss their case over the phone or through email.
At your home visit, our representative will explain to you how your No Win No Fee claim will be funded, the insurance policy we take out on your behalf to cover you against having to pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful and our terms and conditions. You’ll then be asked about the circumstances of the accident and our representative will take down a brief description of the accident (in some cases we might ask you to do a sketch plan of the accident scene). We’ll also ask you about your injuries and how they are affecting you at work and during your daily routine.
Other topics that our representative will cover will include your financial losses, as we will need you to tell us how the accident has affected you financially. This is so we can make sure your accident claim covers all the money you have lost as a result of your accident.
