An elderly man called us recently for advice on an incident he was involved in.  He was traveling on a bus a couple of months previously, when it stopped very suddenly.  The driver had been rather abrupt and erratic in the braking and consequently the man fell forward hitting his head on the seat in front.  The injury sustained was relatively minor, however, their was bruising, a small cut and the man suffered with a stiff neck for in excess of one month post accident.  With claims such as this, the key is finding out who is negligent or who is at fault.  If the bus driver was driving erratically then he can be found at fault, as bus drivers have a duty to safe guard their passengers.  If another vehicle was involved, then the blame may well lye with the driver of the other vehicle.  If however, no one can be found to be at fault, then you cannot claim for personal injury.  In this case we took the details from the man and started to look into the case and represent him.  We found the bus driver to be at fault, and our after our experts worked on the case and negotiated, the client was awarded with a significant level of compensation.

The devastating Nimrod Crash occurred on September 2^nd 2006. The plane exploded mid- flight after re-fuelling and linking with another aircraft, in the air.  Fuel leaked into a dry area and caused the fuel to ignite and the plane to explode.  Fourteen men were killed that day in Afghanistan.  After a coroner studied the aircraft he deemed that it was indeed un-airworthy and unfit to fly when it exploded.  Safety checks were not properly carried out and many of aircrafts in the fleet were in severe need of updates.  Legal action was taken and since, an expert team has been representing the families of the men.  The Ministry Of Justice has finally admitted to fault and the families now will be gaining compensation.  An independent review was given that gave a damning verdict of the incident and events leading up to it, and also stated that the incident was preventable.  A Mother of one of the victims stated yesterday that ‘it will not bring back the lads’.  Although justice has been done in some way, and people are now being held accountable, the fourteen men who died have still lost their lives and their families continue to mourn their loss.  Today the defence firm Qinetiq has said that its chief executive will be stepping down and resigning.  This comes one day after the huge criticism the firm took in its connection with the Nimrod Crash in 2006.  A Qinetiq spokesman told a news station that the resignation was unrelated to the Nimrod incident.

A woman has just been awarded with 4.46 million pounds in compensation after she sustained a brain hemorrhage and now suffers with a ten minute memory.  All of the woman’s long term memory is still intact however she cannot now remember anything she did ten minutes previously.  The lady now requires 24 hour medical care, she needs to be reminded to shower, get dressed, and eat.  The woman, from Durham, suffered a brain hemorrhage that was undetected by her GP and medical staff.  The 42 year old woman cannot work again and her life has changed forever as has her families.  The case for compensation went to court which ended in her being awarded 4.46 million pounds in compensation.  The payments are to be paid in installments throughout her life, so it will not be one big payment.  If you take into account her life earnings in work, that she will no longer get, and the cost of having to have a full time carer the sum of compensation does not seem so huge.  The woman will never have the quality of life that she deserves and a great strain has been put on her husband, who has said that ‘she is not the same woman that I married’.  The woman and her husband are now trying to create awareness of brain hemorrhages and are trying to urge people to take note of severe headaches.  The woman described her headache as the worst in her life, very intense and painful, and encourages people to seek medical attention immediately if they experiencing anything similar.  The hospital bosses that have been involved in the woman’s medical treatment, admitted to 95% fault of the total claim.

This month the case was revealed in the news of a man who has repeatedly been staging accidents in order to gain money from fraudulent personal injury compensation.  The man who had even staged two accidents in one day made in excess of £46,000 out of this scam.  Only after witnesses reported seeing him have accident in the same place a number of times, did his crime come to light.  The man was funding his unemployed girlfriend and himself, buying luxury holidays and expensive goods.  He repeatedly slammed on his brakes at roundabouts to catch out the driver behind, who often went into the back of him.  The innocent victims were left distressed and with increased insurance premiums.  Thankfully the man has been sentenced to four and a half years in prison, so justice has been done.  Unfortunately it is people like this man in question who can give the personal injury compensation industry a bit of a bad name.  Usually if you go into the rear of another vehicle, you are at fault, as you should be driving within your stopping distance.  However, in this case, the man was clearly abusing the system.

If you have been in a car accident and have damage to your vehicle, you may well need a courtesy/hire/replacement car whilst yours is being repaired.  At Complete Claim Solutions, we can do that for you.  When you go through your insurer, quite often they will give you a vehicle that has no resemblance to your own car.  For some this is not a problem, but for others it is.  And why should you put up with a vehicle that is not to the standard of your own car?  The answer is, you shouldn’t, and don’t have to.  At Complete Claim Solutions, we can provide free, like for like courtesy cars.  We have all sorts from a corsa, large vans, a lorry, motorcycles with various engine capacity, sports cars, high end prestigious cars such as Porsche, BMW and Bentley, anything you want, we have.  We once had a situation where an insurer would not give out a Porsche Cayenne unless a valid reason was given as to why the individual needed that car.  The answer was, they didn’t necessarily need the car, they owned a Porsche Cayenne and why should they drive around in a ford whilst theirs was repaired, the only advantage was to the insurers, as it would save them money!  So the client came to us, we solved it and the client was satisfied to receive a free like for like vehicle, quickly, and have a friendly customer service team at Complete Claim Solutions to call on anytime.

IF YOU NEED A COURTESY CAR, COME TO COMPLETE CLAIM SOLUTIONS.

If you are involved in an accident and the incident aggravates a pre existing injury you can claim for personal injury.  The injury that you had before the accident needs to have got worse or the process sped up.  Accidents, either a car accident or slip and trip, can indeed make injuries that you may have had at the time worse, and this situation does qualify for compensation.  The amount of compensation varies according to the duration of the injury and can vary significantly.  A claim for exacerbation of a pre existing injury can sometimes take a little longer than a standard whiplash claim, as it can sometimes be harder to prove and solve, but this is not always the case.   However, at Complete Claim Solutions we endeavor to keep the claim process as simple as possible and make it as quick as possible, whilst always ensuring maximum compensation.

IF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND IT MAKES A PRE EXISTING INJURY WORSE, YOU CAN STILL CLAIM.

An ATE or After the Event Insurance Premium is an insurance policy that protects you from your opponent’s legal costs.  If you are pursuing a claim for personal injury, the chances are the policy may well be taken out on your behalf.  The insurance protects you from having to pay any legal fees for the other side.  For example, if your case ended up going to court, which the vast majority of our cases don’t, however should that happen, the opponent may well instruct a solicitor or a defendant to act and speak on their behalf.  If you then lost the case, you may then be liable for the legal fees for the other side if you did not have after the event insurance.  With after the event insurance the fees are waived and you will not have to pay anything.  On our cases we often take out after the event insurance policy to protect our clients against all eventualities however we hardly ever need the policy benefits, it is just a fail safe.  You do not have to pay for the insurance policy as we recover that cost back from the at fault party.

AFTER THE EVENT INSURANCE IS A POLICY THAT PROTECTS YOU FROM HAVING TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE AT FAULT’S LEGAL FEES.  YOU DO NOT EVER HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS INSURANCE, YOU JUST BENEFIT FROM THE COVER.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS….RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR AN INJURY CAUSED BY SOMEONE ELSES NEGLIGENCE.

You can claim for personal injury compensation if you have been involved in an accident within the last three years.  Often people do not submit a claim straight after an accident, and this can be for a variety of reasons.  Sometimes people do not realise that they can claim, other times they may think that it is too much hassle, or that they had to have attended their GP, which is not the case.  It is reasonable to submit a claim up to three years after an accident and you can not be penalized in any way for the late entry of the claim.  Here at Complete Claim Solutions we have had great success with slightly older cases and manage to achieve a high level of compensation for these claims.  The process is simple, if you did not claim straight after your accident you really should consider your options and the compensation you are entitled to.  Please note that if you were under 18 years old at the time of the accident, you actually have up until your 21^st birthday to submit a claim for personal injury.

YOU CAN CLAIM FOR PERSONAL INJURY COMPENSATION UP TO THREE YEARS AFTER AN ACCIDENT.
