If
you own property (for example, a car) which has been damaged
through the negligence of another person, you may have an
entitlement to compensation.
What
circumstances are required for a claim?
You
may have a claim if the property was damaged as a result
of the negligence of another person. If your property is
insured, it is the insurance company that may have the right
to make a claim against the negligent person.
What
will we do if you have a claim?
If
you have a claim then we will handle all negotiations with
the other party (or their insurance company). We will get
reports from experts to assess the amount of loss that you
have suffered. Throughout your claim we will liase with
you, the other party and any experts to gather enough information
to accurately assess your loss.
How
long will your claim take?
Your
claim cannot be finalised until the loss that you have suffered
can be determined. It is then quite common for negotiations
to occur between the parties to attempt to avoid the need
to go to court, and this can add time to your claim.
When
should you seek legal advice?
If
the matter is going to proceed to court, the time by when
the matter must be filed with the court depends upon the
circumstances. We therefore recommend that you seek advice
as soon as possible after the damage to your property occurs.
