Cuts and bruises can happen for a number of reasons, from accidents at work or in public places, or due to more severe incidents such as assaults. The aftermath can be both physically and emotionally taxing. With our help, you can seek compensation for your suffering and easily navigate the claims process.
Some of the most common causes and complications related to cuts and bruises include:
Beyond the immediate physical discomfort of cuts and bruises, the emotional aftermath of such injuries shouldn't be overlooked. Feelings of frustration, anxiety or embarrassment can affect your daily routines and mental well-being.
The financial implications can also be a concern. Medical bills for treatments, therapy and lost wages due to time off work can add up. Making a compensation claim can help by covering some of these costs, aiming to restore your peace of mind and financial stability.
We’re deeply committed to understanding how your cuts and bruises and the incident that caused them have impacted your life, both physically and emotionally. Our approach is comprehensive, empathetic and transparent. We're dedicated to helping you understand your rights, the potential compensation you could secure and guiding you towards a brighter future.
Navigating the process of making a compensation claim for cuts and bruises might initially seem daunting, but with our dedicated legal team by your side, the path becomes clearer. Here's a guide to help you grasp the process.
When you first call us, we’ll hold an initial discussion where we will ask you questions about your circumstances and explain how we’ll be able to help you.
If you decide to make a claim with us, we’ll then move on to the next step of gathering evidence and building your argument. This is an essential part of the process and we may need your help to gather certain information, such as medical records and photos of your injuries. We’ll work to make sure that this is as simple for you as possible so you can continue to focus on your recovery.
Once we’re confident that we have built a strong case for you, we’ll approach the party responsible for your injuries - known as the defendant - to inform them that a case is being made against them.
The defendant will then need to respond to the claim. They may accept the claim and we’ll negotiate your compensation amount with them and their insurer. However, there is a chance that the defendant will dispute your claim, and court proceedings may become necessary.
Most compensation is claimed through negotiation. If your claim needs to go to court, you can be confident we will represent your interests and use our decades of experience to defend your rights.
Once your claim is successful, we’ll make sure your compensation is paid in a timely manner.
Generally, you have three years from the date of the incident that caused your injuries to make your personal injury claim. However, keep in mind that cuts and bruises typically fade more quickly than other injuries, so the sooner you take action, the better.
There are some exceptions that may apply to your situation:
Compensation for personal injuries is typically divided into two main categories. Here’s a breakdown of each:
Your compensation amount will depend on the extent of your injuries and financial expenses.
When you make a personal injury claim with Switalskis, you do so under a conditional fee agreement (CFA) - also referred to as ‘no win, no fee’. This is an agreement with us that states that you will not have to pay your legal fees to us unless we are successful, in which case your compensation will contribute to them. If we are unsuccessful in claiming compensation for you, you will not have to pay our fees. This also means that we won’t demand any upfront fees from you, and will inform you if there are any additional costs that you need to pay.
Being involved in an accident or incident is often stressful, and making a claim is likely not to be the first thing on your mind. However, there are a number of steps you can take that will significantly improve your chances of claiming and offer other benefits too:
