Your case at Alexander Harris - What happens...

Innocent victims. They suffer in silence, they learn to re-adjust, they cope with loss and often face financial hardship. Yet victims of accidents generally do not take legal action against anyone. The most the majority ask for is an explanation - sometimes they get answers, often they don't. Many victims are entitled to much more, if their suffering has been caused through no fault of their own then they may claim compensation. Some will consider this route but are unsure how to go about it, who they should go to for advice and what are the risks involved.

Making a claim This area of the law is extremely complex and it is vital that specialist advice is sought. You will have seen that we specialise exclusively in Health Litigation and as such Alexander Harris are regarded nationally as leaders in this field. Unlike most other firms who add this work to their general practice, we are completely committed only to the areas within Health Litigation and Medical Law. We believe that this expertise enables us to achieve the best results for our clients.

Due to the legal complexities the Government also believes that the work should be done by specialists. To highlight this move, the Legal Services Commission Franchise (previously Legal Aid) has been adopted as the quality standard in this field of the law. Alexander Harris are delighted to have been one of the first firms to achieve this quality standard and we have been awarded Franchises in all main areas of our business.

Why claim?

Do you think that someone else was wholly or partially to blame for your suffering?

Was it their responsibility to ensure your safety?

If you can answer yes to the above questions you may be entitled to compensation.

Despite the adverts in the media, getting compensation is not easy and neither do the majority of cases take only a few months to settle. Often legal cases, especially those of the utmost severity or those involving ongoing medical problems, can take well over a year and can be quite daunting for the individual and their family.

It is therefore vital that you have a professional solicitor who is a specialist in the area of law you need advising upon to represent you. They will understand the intricacies of that area of the law and be experienced enough to avoid the pitfalls and make the experience as strain free as possible. You also need someone who will understand your needs and explain to you what is going on, what you have to do and what to expect.

It is unlikely that a person will suffer from more than one serious accident in their life, therefore being with a law firm who can maximise the potential of their case, can considerably enhance their future care. It can, in some cases, mean the difference of many thousands of pounds.
