Accidents involving HGV drivers can have severe consequences, and recovering from such incidents can be an uphill battle. At Switalskis, we specialise in assisting HGV drivers with their injury claims, and we're here to provide the support and guidance you need during this challenging time.
Our experienced team of solicitors understands that accidents can happen suddenly and range in severity. Whether you've been involved in a minor incident or a more severe collision, we're here to assist you in navigating the complexities of your claim.
Common injuries sustained by HGV drivers in accidents include:
Accidents can also impose a significant financial burden. Medical bills, therapy costs, vehicle repairs and lost wages due to time off work can quickly accumulate. Pursuing a compensation claim may help alleviate these financial losses, aiming to restore you to the financial position you were in before the accident.
At Switalskis, our approach is compassionate and straightforward. We’re committed to understanding the full impact of the accident on your life, both physically and emotionally. Our goal is to help you understand your rights and explore the potential compensation you may be entitled to.
Making a compensation claim after an accident may initially seem overwhelming. However, our team of legal experts is here to simplify the process for you. Here's a short guide to help you understand how the process of an HGV driver injury claim might proceed:
When you reach out to us, we’ll begin by discussing the specifics of your accident. During this initial consultation, we'll evaluate the potential of your claim and provide you with a clear outline of the necessary steps to move forward.
If you decide to proceed with your claim, we’ll start the process of gathering essential evidence. This includes obtaining your medical records, collecting photographs of the accident scene, documenting witness information and obtaining relevant police reports. Our aim is to build a robust case and determine who is the party at fault, and why.
With all the necessary evidence in hand, we will draft and submit your claim to the responsible party and their insurance provider. We'll handle all communications on your behalf to make sure the process is as smooth as possible, sparing you from the stress of direct confrontation.
The defendant's insurer will assess your claim and provide a response, either accepting or disputing it. If the claim is accepted, we’ll then proceed with appropriate evidential steps and engage in negotiations.
In some cases, reaching an agreeable settlement may prove challenging and we may need to escalate the matter to court. Rest assured, our solicitors are highly experienced in handling cases in court, and we’ll make sure that your case is thoroughly prepared. Throughout this process, we’ll represent and support you every step of the way.
Upon a successful claim, we’ll make sure that the compensation owed to you is paid quickly. Your wellbeing and financial recovery are our top priorities, and we’ll work tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome for you.
Navigating a HGV driver injury claim can be complex, but with our dedicated team by your side, you can confidently pursue the compensation you rightfully deserve.
Understanding the time constraints for initiating an HGV driver injury claim is vital. In most cases, you have a three-year window from the date of the accident to start your claim. However, it's essential to be aware of potential exceptions to this timeframe:
Starting your claim as soon as possible will help you to maximise your chances of success. We strongly advise reaching out to our team as soon as you’re safe and able to do so.
Compensation is designed to restore you to the position you would have been in if the accident hadn’t happened. It consists of two primary categories:
The precise amount of compensation you may receive in a successful claim hinges on factors such as the severity of your injury, its impact on your life and the extent of your financial losses. Our team is here to provide you with clear guidance and help you understand the potential compensation you may be entitled to.
Navigating an accident claim should never add to the financial burden you may already be experiencing. At Switalskis, we operate the majority of our personal injury claims, including those for HGV driver injuries, on a no win, no fee basis. If your claim doesn't succeed, you won't be responsible for covering legal fees. You can rest assured that there will be no upfront or unexpected costs.
In the event that your claim is successful, a percentage of your compensation will contribute towards the legal costs. This percentage is agreed upon at the start of your claim so you can be sure there are no surprises.
