(I-Newswire) February 21, 2006 - Claiming on accidents and injury can be a tedious process if you are unaware of the procedures. Given below is a brief explanation of the process to help you through.

How to bring a claim
In order to bring a claim in respect of an accident you have to prove that someone else was negligent or in breach of the duty they owed you in law and that their action or lack of action resulted in your injury. If you have the necessary evidence and want to take up the case then you next need to contact lawyers or lawyer firms.

Comparing law firms
Today there are various law firms offering their services, but you need to choose the right one to work with. Opt for a firm with sufficient expertise in your area of claim, a firm that is conveniently situated, that has good online presence and is comfortable to work with. Once you decide on a few firms you can visit their sites for contacting them.

The assessment form
Once you have decided on a few law firms to work with, you will need to fill up simple online assessment forms. These seek the details of your case and your personal details. As the name implies, these forms help the law firms assess your case and decide its worth. Law companies usually contact clients regarding the status within 24 hours.

Limitation period
You need to understand that claims have to be brought in within 3 years from the date of accident. If however the victim is a child, the term does not apply till the child turns 18. The term will also not apply if the accident happened over three years ago, but the injuries became evident only after 6 years or so.

Working with the firm
Once you decide to work with a firm, you need to provide all the required details and information. Medical evidence, reports and other data will be sought to support your case. Depending upon the amount of the claim your case will then be filed with a small claims court or a bigger court.

Going to court
This may not be necessary as in the vast majority of claims liability is admitted and the case is settled out of court. This sometimes happens without court proceedings ever having been commenced. It is only the complicated ones, where there may be a dispute as to the amount that the Claimant is entitled to receive or if there is a dispute regarding liability, that actually go to Court.
