Our Claims Process
Lee Solicitors will lighten the load for you taking you through a simple step by step process from initial confidential contact to receiving your personal injury compensation.
Step 1: Initial contact via telephone, email or website in full confidence.
Step 2: We will briefly discuss the case with you via telephone and arrange a visit to see you in the office at your home or at hospital. Whichever is convenient for YOU.
Step 3: If we believe in our long term experience you have a claim we will explain the process to you and help you fill in all the necessary paperwork. At this stage we may also be able to help direct you towards immediate support for example; for financial difficulties or hospital treatment.
Step 4: We will take on the claims process and start communication with the party responsible for the accident. They have by the rules governing these matters 21 days to acknowledge your claim and then 3 months to allow their insures to investigate the claims circumstances.
Step 5: Any medial notes and X-rays will be collated by Lee Solicitors and you can relax in the knowledge you are in professional hands. We are always at the end of the phone or available via email for you throughout.
Step 6: During this period we will begin work calculating your financial loss and we may be able to get an interim payment from the insurers of the party responsible to help support you until the claim is finalised.
Step 7: Once we have the final compensation reports we will review them with you and trusting that they are fair and accurate and that is agreed by you then we research the valuation based on experience of awards in court and past cases.
Step 8: This is then negotiated and usually we obtain an agreeable sum to all parties to prevent having to undergo a court hearing. This is where our expertise in former compensation figures is invaluable. We will send the agreed reports to the insurers with an indication of valuation we expect you to be offered.
Step 9: You receive your COMPENSATION and can enjoy the satisfaction in knowing that you have received the best offer you could have expected.
Step 10:Just in case the offer is below that we believe a Court would award then we will advise you of the options available. If this is the case and we have to go to a court hearing, be reassured we will help you and manage the process liaising with the Court where necessary.
