Fast and Fair PI Compensation Claims forms.
As soon as you visit a solicitor for "Personal Injury Claim", the solicitor would complete a standard early notification form providing necessary information to enable the insurance company to consider the claim and send it to the insurer (if known) within 7 days of receiving instructions.
There would be two standard forms of claim: one for the simplest claims requiring only one medical report, a second more complex form for claims requiring more than one medical report.
A fast compensation claim process:
On completion of the claim form, the solicitor would gather
evidence needed to support the claim:
- a medical report from an agreed panel of medical
experts
- a police report if necessary
- statements from witnesses
Once the evidence has been obtained the solicitor would send a
compensation package to the insurer containing:
- the standard claim form
- the medical report
- other evidence if appropriate
- a Part 36 offer of settlement (unless there is a very good
reason not to).
A Part 36 Offer is a formal offer to settle which, in certain
circumstances, will result in sanctions if the offer is not accepted.
Part 36 is a provision in the Civil Procedure Rules (which govern the conduct of litigation in England and Wales). It aims to encourage parties to try to settle their disputes by setting out the costs consequences of offers to settle if they are made in accordance with Part 36. Basically, if a party fails to accept a realistic offer made by the other side, it is at risk of being penalised in costs and interest at the end of the case. Making such an offer is therefore a legitimate means of putting the other side under pressure to settle, and should not generally be seen as a sign of weakness.
