Switalskis has a strong reputation for handling sensitive claims like assault injuries. For our successes, we have received accreditation by the Law Society.
Assaults can happen in various situations and each brings its unique challenges and consequences. Some common scenarios where assaults take place include:
The range of injuries that can arise from assaults is wide. In addition to physical trauma, assault injuries often bring significant emotional and distress. Conditions such as anxiety, (PTSD) and emotional trauma often accompany physical injuries.
Making a claim for an assault injury can be slightly different to the process involved in other injuries. If the person responsible for your injuries hasn’t been found or isn’t in a financial position to pay your compensation, you may be able to make a claim through the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (CICA), which is a government organisation put in place to help innocent victims of a violent crime for their suffering. We can make your claim through the CICA on your behalf.
At Switalskis, we’re committed to assisting you through the process of pursuing an assault injury claim. With Switalskis, you're not just seeking compensation; you're partnering with a team that genuinely cares about your wellbeing.
The process of making an assault injury claim can seem daunting at first, but it becomes clearer and more manageable with the help of our team. Here's a guide to the steps involved:
The first step in making a personal injury claim is reaching out to us. When you do, we'll assess the circumstances surrounding your assault injury and the viability of your claim, explaining what you can expect from the process going forward.
We’ll start by collecting all the necessary evidence to strengthen your case. This could range from medical records detailing your injuries to CCTV footage, eyewitness accounts and any other documentation that can prove fault or negligence on the part of the perpetrator.
Once we've gathered sufficient evidence and believe your case is strong, we'll formally present your claim to the person at fault, as well as their insurance company, if applicable. We'll handle all communications, allowing you to concentrate on your wellbeing. If you’re claiming through the CICA, we’ll handle this too.
After your claim is submitted, the other party or their insurance company will evaluate it. They might accept fault and offer a settlement or contest your claim. Regardless, we’ll negotiate on your behalf, aiming to secure the best outcome for you.
If we can’t agree on a fair settlement for you, we may have to bring your case to court. Our team is experienced in representing assault victims in court, and we’ll make sure you're well prepared.
If the claim is successful, we'll make sure you receive the compensation you’re rightfully entitled to. This will not only help with your recovery but also assist you to move on with your life.
We're here to help, offering not just legal expertise but also a supportive and compassionate service at this challenging time in your life.
Understanding the time limits for an assault injury claim is vital. Generally, you've got three years from the date of the incident to initiate a claim. However, there are exceptions to bear in mind:
To improve your chances of a successful claim, get in touch with our team as soon as you can. The fresher the evidence and memories, the stronger and more reliable your case will likely be.
We're not only here to provide expert legal advice, but also a compassionate and understanding service during this tough period in your life.
The amount of compensation you could receive for an assault injury can vary depending on the extent of your injury and financial losses, as well as whether a claim is submitted via the CICA as they operate a tariff of injury scheme.
If you pursue a civil claim, tour compensation generally falls into two main categories:
The final compensation amount will depend on the severity of your injuries and the specific financial toll they've taken on you. Assault injuries can often have a lasting impact on your life, and the compensation you receive should adequately reflect this. We’re here to help you secure a settlement that not only meets your financial needs but also acknowledges the emotional trauma you've endured.
We handle the majority of our assault injury claims on a no win, no fee basis. This means you won't have to worry about paying your legal costs to us if your claim isn't successful. There are also no upfront fees to pay. Instead, any costs will be deducted from your final compensation amount, which we'll calculate with this in mind.
You might also find that your existing insurance policies can contribute to your legal expenses. For instance, if the assault happened in a setting covered by specific insurance, such as a public space or workplace, you may be able to recoup some costs that way.
We're here to make this process as straightforward and stress-free as possible while delivering the legal expertise and compassionate support you need at this challenging time.
While it's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed after experiencing an assault injury, taking specific steps can significantly help in the process of making a claim for compensation:
