If you have suffered an injury as a result of an accident
for which you were not to blame both you and your
passengers are entitled to make a claim for personal
injury.
Prestige will arrange for your claim to be
handled by one of our panel solicitors who operate on 'No
win No fee' basis.
Our panel solicitors charge all
costs and disbursements to the at fault drivers insurer.
Consequently you are guaranteed to receive 100% of your
compensation.
If the driver is uninsured or cannot
be found, then the Motor Insurers Bureau exists to
compensate innocent victims of road traffic accidents. (See
www.mib.co.uk for
further details)
Your personal injury claim is composed of two parts:
General Damages (for your pain, suffering and loss of
amenity). These are known as Non-Pecuniary Losses.
Special Damages (for your loss of earnings and other
financial losses). These are known as Pecuniary Losses.
These are estimated by comparing your injuries with the
amount offered to other claimants with similar injuries in
previous cases.
Solicitors, barristers, insurers and judges all tend to
refer to the same source material in the respect. One
very commonly used reference work for general damages is the
Judicial Studies Board Guidelines.
After obtaining a medical report on your
injuries, we can then use this as the basis on which to
compare your injuries with previous awards.
