You speak with one of our team at no cost, as we offer a free claims assessment. We’ll speak with you about your situation, and give our view of whether you have a chance of successfully claiming compensation.
A Solicitor will be assigned to your case. We give our clients a single point of contact within our Serious Injury team, so you’ll always know who you need to talk to.
We’ll gather evidence to support your claim, including a medical report prepared by an independent medical expert. We’ll arrange for you to be assessed by this expert, so they can give us details of your condition and how it could affect your life.
We’ll also assess the financial impact of your injury, such as how much any recommended treatment will cost, and include this in our valuation of your claim.
We’ll contact the person or party you hold responsible, asking them to agree to fund a package of treatment tailored to your needs and help you on the road to recovery.
If they agree to do so, and accept they’re responsible for your injury, we may ask for an interim payment of compensation, as you may not be able to wait until the final settlement for financial, medical or rehabilitation support.
If your fibromyalgia symptoms have been caused by someone else’s negligence, you may have a claim for compensation.
Any compensation settlement will reflect your unique circumstances, such as:
If we can take on your case, we’ll carry out a thorough investigation of your situation so we can accurately value your claim and how much compensation you need.
While there’s no cure for fibromyalgia, steps can be taken to improve your quality of life.
After you’ve discussed treatment and care with your GP, we can help put together an injury care plan. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to treating fibromyalgia, so this plan will reflect your specific needs and circumstances. Sometimes this treatment is not available on the NHS so we can help fund this treatment.
It may also include treatments from several different healthcare professionals, such as:
You may also be advised to take several types of medication to manage your condition, including painkillers, anti-depressants and remedies to help you sleep.
The injury care plan may also include alternative treatments such as:
Some of these treatments can help to de-stress people suffering with fibromyalgia. While these therapies aren’t a cure, they can reduce the exacerbating factors that make symptoms worse.
Fibromyalgia claims are often handled on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means if we don’t secure your compensation for you then you won’t have to pay us for any of the legal work that we’ve done up until that point. Just ask us for details.
In England and Wales, you have three years to claim compensation for fibromyalgia, starting from the date you had your accident or when you first became aware of the problem.
In the UK, many people decide to claim compensation after being injured due to an accident which was someone else’s fault. In law, this is called a Personal Injury Claim. The most common of these accidents include road traffic accidents and accidents at work.
Yes. Sports clubs are responsible for making sure that any visitors to their premises are reasonably safe, and the club also has a duty of care to its employees. That means anyone either visiting or working at a sports club could claim compensation if they’re injured and believe it’s because the sports club was negligent in some way.
Horse riding is a popular hobby and sport but accidents can happen, no matter how experienced of a rider you are. While many situations can be out of your control, if you’re seriously injured in a horse riding accident, and it could have been prevented by someone responsible for your safety, we could help you claim compensation.
