l Quick settlement - receive a cheque within ten working days once settlement is agreed
l No cost to you - you can deal direct with us
l £250 Consultation contribution, which can be used towards the cost of seeing a solicitor for confirmation that the offer made is appropriate
l Your statutory rights remain unaffected so you can instruct a solicitor up to three years after the accident irrespective of where you’ve got to in the Direct Settlement Scheme process
l All the agreed compensation comes to you, whereas solicitors can now take up to 25% of your damages to cover a shortfall in their fees
Having worked for the same company for ten years, Stan had an accident at work where he was hit by a forklift truck, which broke his arm.
He had walked into the marked forklift truck lane by mistake. His employers paid his wages whilst he was absent but, whilst in hospital, he noticed an advert for a solicitor who would make a personal injury claim on his behalf.
When he talked to the solicitor he was advised that there was no guarantee he would get his entire claim from his employer’s insurers as he may have to pay up to 25% of his damages to make up the solicitor’s fees shortfall.
Despite being tempted by the solicitor’s offer, Stan decided it was best to go for the Direct Settlement Scheme after all and cut out the solicitor’s fees. He was happy that he did, as he received 100% of his settlement direct.
No. You have a statutory right to consult a solicitor at any stage up to three years from the date of your accident. This remains your right throughout the process of dealing with us and afterwards. The benefit to us and your employer is in reducing legal costs and we have nothing to gain by reducing the compensation to which you are entitled. With the offer of settlement we make, we will send you a cheque for £250 to contribute to the cost of obtaining a solicitor’s advice should you choose to. This amount does not require repaying should you choose not to consult a solicitor.
You will have received this leaflet from your employer, which means that, having investigated the circumstances of your accident, we believe that compensation will be payable. Please complete the form overleaf and post it, Freepost. Upon receipt we will ask the loss adjuster who investigated the circumstances of your accident to contact you. He will discuss your current medical position and may ask you to see a doctor to provide a report to us. The amount of compensation to which you are entitled depends on the severity of your injuries and the medical prognosis. You will be required to sign a medical consent form, which the adjuster will arrange with you.
