Information about Severed Tendons Injury Claims
Severed tendons injury claims enable you to recover compensation when you have suffered an injury to your tendons due to an accident for which somebody else was primarily to blame. Irrespective of how your injury was sustained, by making a successful claim for a severed tendons injury you will be compensated for the pain you experienced at the time your injury occurred, the effect that the damaged tendons have on your quality of life and any financial consequences of being incapacitated due to a severed tendons injury.
Establishing Your Eligibility to Make Severed Tendons Injury Claims
Severed tendons injury claims have to show that you have sustained an injury to your tendons and that the injury was due to a third party´s lack of care. Determining that you have sustained damaged tendons can be proven by your medical records, but establishing that a third party is responsible for the severed tendons injury through their negligent actions – or lack of actions – can often be more difficult.
Police reports or accident reports may need to be compiled and evidence gathered in support of your severed tendons injury claim and, at a time when you may be in a considerable amount of pain from the damage to your tendons, collecting evidence of negligence may not be something which is easy for you to do and should not be made a priority before you have recovered from your severed tendons injury.
Therefore, it is in your best interests to discuss making severed tendons injury claims for compensation with a lawyer as soon as practically possible. A lawyer will assess your claim for a severed tendons injury, assist you where necessary to collect evidence in support of your severed tendons injury claim and advise you if you have a claim for severed tendons injury compensation which is worth your while to pursue.
How Much Severed Tendons Injury Compensation Will I Get?
How much compensation for a severed tendons injury you will be entitled to receive will depend on your personal circumstances. A lawyer will calculate the value of your severed tendons injury claim by considering the severity of the tendon injury in relation to your age, sex and general state of health prior to the incident which was responsible for you suffering damaged tendons.
As mentioned above, the consequences of your severed tendons injury and the effect it has on your quality of life will also be taken into account when compiling a claim for severed tendons injury compensation. Along with your lack of ability to perform day-to-day tasks while still recovering from damaged tendons, any quantifiable psychological consequences of the accident which led to your severed tendons injury – for example any confidence issues you may have in the future – will also be integrated into your severed tendons injury claim for compensation.
You are also entitled to recover any financial costs which are directly attributable to your severed tendons injury when making a claim for severed tendons injury compensation. These can range from expenses incurred seeking medical attention following an accident which led to your severed tendons injury, to additional transport costs if you are unable to drive while recovering from your injured tendons. Any loss of income can also be recovered in a claim for severed tendons injury compensation – including overtime and pension contributions.
“Contingency Fee” Claims for a Severed Tendons Injury
Provided that your lawyer believes there is a strong likelihood of your claim for severed tendons injury compensation being successful, he or she will usually be prepared to represent you in your severed tendons injury claim on a “Contingency Fee” basis. This usually means that, should you lose your claim for severed tendons injury compensation, you will not owe your lawyer for their legal fees and, when your severed tendons injury claim is successful, you will retain 100 percent of your compensation settlement.
However, not all lawyers offer “Contingency Fee” claims for a severed tendons injury on the same basis, and it may be necessary for you to take out an insurance policy to protect yourself from potential financial exposure should your claim for severed tendons injury compensation be unsuccessful and you become liable for the defendant´s legal fees. Your lawyer should explain the exact terms and conditions of a “Contingency Fee” claim for a severed tendons injury prior to accepting your case.
