Accidents can only be claimed when someone else is at fault.
Two questions have to be asked:
- Who is wrong?
- What is wrong?
1
A wrongdoer does not have a claim.
2
A claimant must identify a person as a wrongdoer.
3
There is no claim if there is no loss or injury.
4
All injury claims must be handled by the Personal Injury Board (IB).
5
IB only deals with claims where blame is accepted.
6
All claims include a sum of the injury and personal expenses.
7
Claims reimburse and don’t create a profit.
8
All claimants have to sweat to tell the truth.
9
Exaggerated claims are often thrown out.
10
All injury claims must be brought within 2 years of the accident.
In contentious business, a solicitor may not calculate fees or charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.
