Are there fixed costs for different types of personal injury?

Most solicitors will operate on a no-win, no-fee basis.  This means that if you do win, a percentage of your compensation will go to the solicitor as a success fee.  At ASD we take a smaller percentage than the majority of our competitors.

What is a statute of limitation?

A statute of limitation refers to the time-limit you have to make a personal injury claim. Generally this is a three year time limit from the date of the accident. However, it is not always as cut and dried as it sounds – especially in the case of industrial disease.

What if I have serious injury protection coverage?

If you have coverage your insurer is obliged to pay out a certain amount to you, but its best to get in touch with a solicitor first as your insurer might try and make you settle for less than you are actually owed.

What is serious injury protection?

You can purchase personal injury cover insurance, although it is not common. This will ensure an amount of compensation from your insurer.

What is a mediation settlement?

A mediation settlement is an agreement reached via mediation.
