How We Help

At Stacks/Goudkamp, we can give you advice on the procedures and process that must be followed to obtain appropriate compensation for compensation claims.

Most personal incident compensation cases are settled without going to court.

However, to ensure the settlement is achieved on the best possible terms, personal incident cases are rarely settled until they have been fully prepared.

After our compensation lawyers have received instructions in an personal incident/accident claim they carry out a full investigation of the circumstances of the incident and determine who is at fault.

Our lawyers may do the following to determine the circumstances of your personal incident compensation claim:

• Attend the scene of the incident
• Interview witnesses
• Obtain police and other records
• Engage expert traffic engineers and professional experts (where appropriate)

We also fully investigate the personal incident for long-term consequences of those injuries. This can involve obtaining detailed statements from the injured person, his/her carers and collecting records and reports from the ambulance service, hospitals and treating doctors. This may also involve arranging independent medico-legal assessments.

In all cases, the person suffering personal incident bears the burden of proving, on the balance of probabilities, that the injuries they sustained were caused by someone elses negligence, and that the injured person has suffered loss, damage and injuries as claimed. This is why it is essential you contact Stacks/Goudkamp today and get assistance and advice for your compensation claim.
