One of the most common questions our team of Bristol lawyers hear every day is ‘Will I have to go to court?’ We understand that that may be one of your main concerns. The idea of standing up in court and justifying your claim for compensation can be terrifying and it is something that most people will want to avoid.

**Personal Injury Claims Bristol have a team of technical claims qualifiers who will speak with you and if you have, in our opinion, a valid claim we can refer your case to one of the personal injury solicitors on our panel.
You’ll be pleased to know that our Bristol lawyers are able to settle most compensation claims without the need to go to court, and so you may not have to stand in the witness box. However, sometimes we do have to initiate court proceedings in order to show your commitment to the case. This usually involves a lot of paperwork – but don’t worry, our team of specialist will be able to take care of all that for you.
The majority of claims for compensation are settled outside of court – after all, the person you are claiming from doesn’t want to go to court any more than you do! Even if court proceedings have been started, the other party can make a settlement offer any time up to the trial.
Personal Injury Claims - Going To Court
It is important to bear in mind, however, that some cases do end up in court and we are careful to make sure that our clients are aware of this. Our lawyers will do everything they can to make the process as stress-free as possible and will ensure you are fully informed on matters such as who pays legal costs for example. The first step, though, is to pick up the phone and make initial contact with our friendly local team here in Bristol, so that we can talk you through the ins and outs of making a claim.
The idea of going to court can put people off claiming the compensation they are entitled to. Don’t let that happen to you – rest assured that with your dedicated team of Bristol legal advisors you will be properly prepared on what to expect and, if your case does indeed go to court, we will be behind you every step of the way.
