Why choose JBS Solicitors?
We are specialist personal injury lawyers who do nothing but personal injury law. Our computer software allows us to update you as to the progress of your case the moment anything happens.
What can I claim for?
You can claim for any losses or injuries you suffer if they are as a result of the negligent actions of a third party, the third party may be the driver of the other vehicle, the local council or landowner or your employer; the accident may have happened on the roads, walking in the street, in a shop or while at work. Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to make your claim so if you think you may be entitled to compensation don't delay and contact us today.
How long will it take?
It is very difficult to say at the outset how long a claim will last but a straightforward claim (injuries lasting 12 months or less) can usually be settled within 6- 9 months. If liability is denied then it could take longer; the more complicated a claim the longer it may take to complete.
How much will I receive?
Again, it is very difficult to predict how much your claim is worth however we will seek to recover, not only compensation for your injuries, damaged property, lost income etc. but also treatment costs, care and assistance, and all other losses incurred that are as a result of the accident.
What will it cost me ?
NOTHING - If we are successful the costs of bringing the claim will be paid by the other side, leaving you with 100% of your compensation. If we cannot recover damages for whatever reason you will not be required to pay for the work done. NO WIN - NO FEE.
Will I have to go to Court?
It is very rare that a matter has to go to Court, this will only happen if the third party won't admit to being at fault or if the offer for settlement made is substantially less than what you may expect to be awarded by a judge.
Do I have to see a solicitor?
No, our computer case management system allows us to deal with your claim by correspondence, email and telephone so you don't have to spend too much time dealing with the claim - that's our job!!
