Various misconceptions and myths surrounding the process of making injury claims may make you feel worried about making your own claim. It can be tricky to know how to separate myths from facts, and we understand that there might be some confusion.
At The Claims Partnership, we don’t want you to be concerned or misinformed, as we’re committed to providing an honest and professional service.
Myth #1: A Claim Against Your Employee Will Cost Your Job
You may be weary of making a claim on an accident at work for fear of losing your job. Being fired for making a personal injury claim against your employer would make them liable for unfair dismissal, as the law is on your side.
It’s your legal right to make a claim against your employer succeeding an accident. In addition, starting the process can also encourage your employer to implement new health and safety training. These measures will help to prevent the accident to happen again.
Myth #2: You Have to Settle Your Compensation in Court
Thinking about going to court regarding a claim can be a stressful situation, particularly if your injury doesn’t allow you to travel comfortably. The majority of the claims are resolved amicably outside of court, with no need to go to litigation for you to receive compensation.
Should you require to be at court, our experts will guide you and support you through the entire process.
Myth #3: With Insurance Companies, Solicitors Aren’t Needed
When an accident occurs, you may think that it will be easier and better to deal with insurers directly rather than contacting a solicitor. You’ll benefit, however, from an independent and impartial input from a solicitor, who will always have your best interests in mind and will fight your corner to ensure you get the highest compensation possible for your claim
Insurance companies have taken a more proactive approach when dealing with claims. Nevertheless, when negotiating a claim, saving costs is still a main priority. You might receive less in compensation in this case, so it’s worth considering your options before making a decision.
Every claim is different and requires a specialised consideration when being addressed. Our team will always ensure that you have a professional and stress-free experience, as we make sure that everyone is listened to in a compassionate way.
