Frequently asked questions
I’m not sure if I can make an accident claim?
All you need to do is fill in our online questionnaire or request a call back and we will advise you on whether you can make a claim based on your circumstances.
What if my accident happened some time ago?
Generally, you have up to 3 years to make a claim for compensation, regardless of this we will always try to help and provide you with free legal advice so don’t delay contact us today.
How much compensation will I get for my injuries?
The amount of compensation you may receive will vary greatly depending on the injury you have suffered and how it has affected you. This is sometimes hard to value at the outset however, we can give you some general advice as to the value of the likely compensation.
How do I know that I can make a claim?
You will be entitled to make a claim if you have suffered an injury, which was caused by someone else. In a road accident this is easy to determine in other cases, such as an accident at work, it can be more difficult. Please call us for free legal advice so that we can advise you specifically about your claim.
How long will my claim take?
The type and severity of your injuries will determine how long a claim may take to settle. Many lower value claims can be settled in a matter of months, other more complicated cases can take more than a year. The vast majority of cases are settled without the need for court proceedings to be issued or for you to attend court. Please call us and we will advise you.
Will I have to fill out lots of paperwork and what will it cost me?
IQ Law will do most of the paperwork for you, however you will be required to check the details before it is put forward as part of your claim. We will help you throughout this process and give you clear and accurate advice. You will not be required to pay for any costs involved unless you provide untrue facts or fail to support your claim once it has been made by us. Most cases are handled on a “no win, no fee” basis that means we will only recover our fees from the other side if the case is successful. We will usually arrange insurance cover at no cost to you in order to pay for the other side’s costs if the case is unsuccessful.
