Basic Steps In A Claim 

The following will give you an idea of the things that we have to do during the course of a claim, and the things that we ask you to do.  There will of course be any number of additional steps to be taken depending on the type of claim you have.

For Us To Do

 

For You To Do
 

Send Letter of Claim to Defendant or their insurers.

 

Fill in questionnaires giving details of accident, injuries and expenses.

 

 

 

Correspond with the insurers or those representing the person you are claiming against and try to secure admission of liability.

 

Fill in a medical authority form.  This will authorise us to request copies of your medical records.

 

 

 

Prepare list of expenses and losses and send to insurers.

 

Keep a diary of symptoms

 

 

 

Obtain copies of your GP and other medical records.  (The medical expert we instruct will need to see these so as to be fully informed about your medical history).

 

Keep us informed of expenses and losses as they arise and send us documentary evidence

 

 

 

Obtain interim payment from insurers if liability is not disputed.

 

Undergo any medical treatment as advised by your GP or other medical practitioner.

 

 

 

Arrange for you to be examined by independent medical expert (normally a GP or consultant selected by us).

 

Keep us informed about the progress of treatment.

 

 

 

Advise you on the value of your claim based on medical report.

 

Attend examination by a medical expert.
