More information about Personal Injury Claims in Aberdare

What types of accidents can I claim compensation for?

You can claim compensation for injuries sustained in accidents that weren’t your fault. To expand on this, at Mooneerams Aberdare, we act for clients who have suffered injuries in road traffic accidents, accidents at work, slips and trips on faulty pavements, slips and falls in supermarkets or shopping centres where the floor is wet and accidents caused by defective products. We also handle medical negligence claims and asbestos disease claims.

How long have I got to make a personal injury claim in Wales or England?

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to start legal proceedings. By this, we don’t just mean emailing the insurance company on the other side to tell them you are making a claim. It means issuing a court summons in this time period. You have three years to issue the claim with the court.

So, if you’ve recently had an accident, contact your local personal injury solicitor, Mooneerams in Aberdare, to get your claim started as soon as possible.

There are exceptions to the ‘three-year rule’.

For industrial disease cases, like asbestos claims, the three-year period starts when you get diagnosed with asbestos disease.
For children, the three-year period begins on their 18th birthday.
Where the person making a claim lacks the mental capacity to bring their own claim, the three-year limit only begins on the day the person regains full capacity. If full capacity is never recovered, there’s no time restriction for starting a claim.

It’s always in your best interest to see a personal injury solicitor as soon as possible after the accident and get the claim underway as quickly as possible while evidence and memories are fresh.

Can I still claim if the accident was partly my fault?

You may still be able to claim personal injury compensation after an accident, even if you were partly to blame for the accident. We call this contributory negligence. If it turns out you were partly at fault for the accident, it means that any compensation you receive will be reduced from what it would have been had you not been liable at all. Your local Aberdare solicitors at Mooneerams will be able to advise you if you are unsure whether you were partly to blame for the accident.

How much compensation could I receive for my personal injury claim?

How much compensation you will receive when you win your claim depends on many different things, including the type of injury you suffered, how serious the injury was, how long it took or will take to recover from, and how badly your day-to-day life was affected.

Mooneerams Solicitors will not be able to give you advice on how much your claim is worth until after you undergo a medical examination and a medical report is prepared by the medical professional who carried out the examination.

However, Mooneerams Compensation Calculator will give you a very rough estimate of the amount of compensation you might expect to receive for specific injuries.

Will I have to go to court for my personal injury claim?

Most personal injury claims get settled without going to court. Your personal injury solicitor might issue court proceedings if the other side denies liability for the accident or refuses to offer what your claim is worth.

Even then, the case is unlikely to end up in court. Should your case go to court because it hasn’t settled beforehand, you can rest assured that Mooneerams will provide you with legal representation in court.

Mooneerams handle most injury compensation claims using No Win No Fee agreements.

What evidence do I need to support my personal injury claim?

Depending on the type of accident you’ve been involved in, and whether liability for the accident is admitted or not, you may have to produce various kinds of evidence to support your claim.

Some examples include getting witness statements, accessing CCTV footage, a police report, a copy of the accident report from your employer, photographs of the accident scene or your injuries, and in all cases, a medical report on the injuries you suffered in the accident will be required.

Don’t worry; experienced personal injury solicitors like Mooneerams will explain what is needed in your case and will gather the evidence on your behalf or with your assistance.

How long does the personal injury claims process typically take?

Everyone wants to know how long their claim is likely to take. It’s an understandable question, but the answer is always the same. It depends on so many different things that it is impossible to give an accurate time frame.

No two injury claims are ever the same, and injuries for which compensation is claimed range from minor soft tissue injuries to life-changing catastrophic injury claims.

Some accident cases are straightforward, with liability quickly being accepted by one of the parties. On the other hand, other accident claims can involve several parties, multiple vehicles or complex areas of law.

Unfortunately, if court proceedings are necessary, cases are getting delayed because of court backlogs.

So, the answer is that cases can take anywhere from 4/6 months to settle in very straightforward low value claims, and up to three years or more in serious injury claims or medical negligence cases.
