Our truck accident lawyers can assess your individual situation and the legal merits of your case, and bring forward a claim for compensation on your behalf.

Question 3

What are the costs involved in making a truck accident injury claim?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to your legal costs, Shine Lawyers provide services on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning you will only pay our fees if we win your case at the end of the process. Our costs depend on the amount of work required to resolve your claim – which differs depending on the complexity of your case.

Your lawyer can give you an indication of what this might be after they know more about your situation.

Question 4

Who will pay the truck injury compensation?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to who pays compensation following a successful truck injury compensation claim, in most cases it’s the insurance company of those at fault that will pay the compensation.

The insurance company deals with everything, so the driver or party at fault won’t have to pay out of their own pocket either.

Question 5

How much compensation could I receive following a truck injury?

Accepted Answer

If you decide to bring forward a claim for compensation, the amount of compensation you can claim can total five or six figures. It is possible that the compensation payout exceeds this and enters seven figures but this really does depend on the facts of your situation and things such as:

how severe your injuries are,

your age,

how much you have lost and will lose in wages,

how much care you need,

how much you have paid out of your own pocket,

Damage to your own truck or the contents within it can generally be claimed through your own truck insurance provider. In some cases, the insurer will agree to pay for some or all of the costs for your ongoing treatment, so that you’re not out of pocket while you’re waiting for the claim to be finalised.

Shine Lawyers help with all truck accident claims on a No Win No Fee basis, which means you will only have to pay our legal fees if and when we win your case at the end of the process.

Question 6

How long does it take to get the compensation following my truck Injury?

Accepted Answer

It all does depend on the extent of your injuries and the facts of your particular case though.

A lawyer should be able to give you an idea once they know a bit more about your situation.

Question 7

Can I represent myself when making a truck injury compensation claim?

Accepted Answer

It is possible to legally represent yourself when making a compensation claim. Doing so successfully will likely require a thorough understanding of the law, your legal rights and entitlements, and a commitment to actively pursue the case to move it forward.

Most people making truck injury compensation legal claims choose not to act for themselves and instead engage an expert compensation lawyer. The best compensation lawyers can provide the knowledge and experience required to help guide a case to a successful outcome.
