Frequently Asked Questions
JNP Legal represent those who have been injured because of accidents at work, road traffic accidents, public liability accidents, clinical negligence and criminal injuries.
We deal with claims involving all types of physical and psychological injuries including spinal cord injuries and brain injuries.
The best way to know if you have a valid personal injury claim is to speak to an experienced solicitor. You can start the process by contacting JNP Legal by telephone, e-mail, online chat or by attending one of their offices. They will take full details of the circumstances, advise on the options available and answer any questions.
This depends on several factors including whether liability is admitted, the nature of the injuries and losses, and the evidence required. JNP Legal’s expert solicitors can advise more specifically on this based on individual cases.
Evidence is needed to support liability, injuries sustained and the losses suffered.
In relation to liability this can often include CCTV footage, photographs of the accident location, witness statements, accident report, dashcam footage and police reports.
Medical records and expert medical evidence are needed to provide evidence of the injuries sustained.
In support of the losses suffered it is important to retain wage slips, invoices, receipts, and bank statements.
There is a limitation period of 3 years from the date of accident or date of knowledge of negligence for most personal injury and clinical negligence claims, subject to certain exceptions. This usually means that Court proceedings need to be issued within this time period if the claim for damages is not settled.
It is important that advice is sought as soon as possible in order to assess individual cases. If the limitation period has expired there may be opportunity to apply to Court to set aside the time period but it is extremely important that such action is taken urgently.
Applications to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority must be made within 2 years of the incident.
There are also shorter limitation periods for claims relating to injuries sustained whilst travelling by boat or aeroplane and for accidents abroad. It is therefore important to seek advice from an experienced solicitor on the relevant limitation period in such cases urgently.
