When to Instruct your Accident Claim Lawyer

The law allows you to make a personal injury claim up to 3 years after the date of the accident. After this, your claim will be 'statute barred'. This is a legal term which simply means after 3 years you no longer have the right to make a claim for your personal injury or accident.

However, if you have sustained personal injury, you should instruct a specialist accident claim lawyer, such as Liddy's, as soon as possible. This helps preserve vital evidence which might disappear if you delay making your claim. Records can be lost, people's memories fade, and in some cases, evidence can be deliberately misplaced.

When you instruct Liddy's of Wakefield, to help with your personal injury claim, you will have an initial meeting with Kevin Liddy. He will advise you and help you gather the information and evidence you need to make your compensation claim. As your case progresses, you will receive regular updates and progress reports. If your claim can't be settled out of court, Kevin Liddy will represent you, or arrange for a suitably experienced barrister to plead your claim. Throughout your case, you are assured of the highest level of service from Liddy's - one of Yorkshire's most experienced Personal Accident Solicitors.
