Sprains and strains can be caused by someone else's negligence or oversight. Your employer, your local council and other authorities have a responsibility to reduce your risk of injury, Here are some common scenarios where you might sustain a sprain or strain and where someone else might be liable for the accident:
Many of these incidents can be avoided with proper care and attention. At Switalskis, we want to support you if you've been hurt due to someone else's negligence. We understand how disruptive even a ‘minor’ injury can be, and we're here to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Sprains and strains can vary in severity, but each can disrupt your daily life in its own way. Here are some common types of sprains and strains for which claims are often made:
It's vital to remember that the impact of a sprain or strain isn't just physical. The emotional toll of being unable to work or engage in activities you enjoy can be just as significant. At Switalskis, we understand how tough this can be. Whether you've twisted an ankle or pulled a muscle, we're here to offer our expertise and a listening ear, to make sure you're supported every step of the way.
Navigating a compensation claim can seem daunting. Our dedicated team of solicitors will handle the legal aspects of the work, making sure you're well-informed throughout the process.
Here's a breakdown of how the claims process typically works:
Your claim begins when you contact our personal injury team. We'll discuss the specifics of your situation, offering insights into what you can expect from your claim.
We'll begin gathering evidence to support and help prove your claim. This could include medical records, incident reports, statements from witnesses, and any communications with other people or organisations involved. If you're claiming for financial losses, we'll need relevant financial evidence such as receipts and bank statements.
Once we've built a strong case, we'll reach out to the party at fault and their insurance provider, informing them of your claim. In most cases, they’ll have four months to respond and decide whether they accept liability.
The defendant may accept responsibility, and we can proceed to compensation negotiations. However, if they contest your claim, we're prepared to take matters to court.
While many sprain and strain injury claims are settled out of court, some may need court intervention. Should this be the case, trust in our expertise to present your evidence and represent you through the process.
On the conclusion of a successful claim, we'll make sure the defendant fulfils their obligation and compensates you for the pain and losses you've experienced due from your sprain or strain injury.
Throughout this process, we'll keep you updated on developments in the case, making sure you're well-equipped to make informed decisions. With Switalskis by your side, you can focus on what truly matters: your recovery and wellbeing.
