How long is a piece of string?
whether the claim can be pursued.
• What the extent of your injuries are.
When meeting
new clients and
taking on claims
for personal
injury, one of the
fi rst questions
that we are
often asked as
Louise Plant personal injury
practitioners
is “how long will my case take to
settle?”
Unfortunately, this is a diffi cult
question to answer. It tends to be
case specifi c and is dependent upon a
number of factors:
• What further evidence is required
before we can submit a claim for
personal injury and loss on your
behalf to the person who we deem
to be at fault.
• Whether responsibility for your
accident or illness is accepted at an
early stage by the person at fault or
whether further evidence is required
before a decision can be made as to
• Whether you require further
treatment to assist in your recovery.
If this is the case then it depends on
when we are able to obtain a fi nal
medical report detailing the extent
of your injuries and loss.
• What further evidence we will then
need to calculate the fi nancial
losses that fl ow from the injuries or
illness that you have suffered, and
when we can obtain the information
required.
Once the above information has been
gathered, then your case can either
proceed to a settlement, normally by
way of negotiation with the person
at fault (or more likely their insurer.)
Or if fault has not been admitted and
we are still of the view that the case
should be brought against the person
who we deem to be at fault, then at a
court hearing.
Fortunately, the vast majority of cases
are settled without proceeding to
court.
Therefore, the answer to the question
“how long does will my case take to
settle?” is:
• It may only take a few
months to settle your claim
for personal injury and loss if:
ongoing treatment before we can
obtain a fi nal medical opinion and
prognosis may take much longer
before a settlement can be reached.
These cases can take a number of
years.
responsibility is accepted
quickly by the person who
we deem to be at fault and
you are able to recover from your
injuries to such a point that we
are able to obtain a medical report
providing us with a fi nal opinion
as to the extent of your injuries or
illness arising from your claim; and
we can therefore value the matter
swiftly and proceed with your claim
to settlement.
• However:
where fault is not as readily
accepted by the person who we
deem to be responsible; and / or

poised, ‘Is this really what a child
wants to read?’ The Student Council
have asked all the children to choose
3 books they would love to see in
our school and we aim to buy them
through generous donations from the
Lucy Rope trust, the PTA and parents.
Our reading army is growing and we
currently have 10 volunteers from the
local community that give their time to
hear children read each week, there is
such a signifi cant impact and we are
extremely grateful for their support.
