Early Interim Payments in Serious Injury Cases are Vital
Your serious injury claim may take some time to conclude as we need to ensure that
your medical condition has settled to a point where the experts can reasonably predict
your long-term future. This does not mean that you need to be without any money
until your injury claim is concluded and this is where the benefit of interim payments comes into play.
Often, we are able to achieve the payment of large interim payments at the early
stages of your serious injury claim. These often needed funds will enable you to
clear accumulated debts, meet your daily household expenses, pay for necessary equipment
(such as wheelchairs or vehicles) or even fund the purchase of suitable accommodation,
in short its means you can start on your road to recovery.
Interim payments will generally be achievable where liability has been admitted,
the defendant is insured and it can be demonstrated that there is a reasonable need
for the interim payment at this stage. We will work with you on this and do our
best to gain you an interim payment as early as possible during the claims process.
The Value of Interim Payments - Case study
Emma was a 2 year old child who was a passenger in her mother’s car that was involved
in an accident. Emma suffered a severe spinal cord injury to the extent that she
was paralysed from the neck and relied on a ventilator to breathe. She required
24 hour care and suitable accommodation. Our serious injury lawyers were able to
secure interim payments of more than £2M to enable suitable accommodation and a
care package to be established.
If you or a member of your family have suffered a serious injury in an accident
that was not your fault then you may be able to claim compensation.
