PERSONAL INJURY COMPENSATION - HOW WE HELP

Stacks/Goudkamp can advise you on the procedures to be followed to obtain appropriate compensation for personal injury claims.

Most compensation cases are settled without going to court. However, they are rarely settled until they have been fully prepared, which ensures that the settlement is achieved on the best possible terms for both parties.

After our lawyers have received instructions in an accident compensation claim, they carry out a full investigation of the circumstances of the accident and determine who is at fault. This typically involves attending the scene of the accident, interviewing witnesses, obtaining police and other records and, where appropriate, engaging expert traffic engineers and professional experts.

We also fully investigate the injury for long-term consequences of those injuries. This involves taking detailed statements from the injured person, his or her carers and obtaining records and reports from the ambulance service, hospitals and treating doctors. This also involves arranging independent medico-legal assessments.

In all cases the person suffering personal injury bears the onus of proving, on the balance of probabilities, that the injuries were caused by the negligence of somebody else, and that the injured person has suffered the injuries, loss and damage as alleged.

That is why it is extremely important to have the best lawyers on your side – contact Stacks/Goudkamp, who have been leaders in the field of personal injury for over 20 years.
