How to Claim

Dennison Greer will pursue your compensation claims as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Whether it's a road traffic accident, construction or workplace accident, a trip, slip or a fall, Dennison Greer can provide support just when you need it most.

HOW YOUR CLAIM IS PROGRESSED

Dennison Greer is dedicated to the efficient and effective progress of personal injury claims. We apply our expertise and experience to secure the maximum amount of compensation for our clients who have been injured through no fault of their own.

Step 1 - Initial Discussion

You decide to contact us and tell us everything you can about the circumstances of your injury. You can choose to do this by telephone or you might prefer to complete our online enquiry form. In any event, before your claim proceeds, you will be able to speak directly to a trained member of our personal injury team.

We will discuss your claim in some detail to ensure that we understand the nature of your injury, the events leading up to your accident, the impact your injury has had on you and your family and what the future holds in terms of your employment prospects and physical capabilities. We will also fully explain the details of our 'no win, no fee' scheme and ask you to sign our standard agreement authorising us to progress your personal injury compensation claim.

At any stage of your claim you are most welcome to call us if there is any aspect of your claim you do not understand.

Step 2 - Preparing Your Personal Injury Claim

From the moment we agree to represent you and pursue your personal injury claim we will take care of every aspect of the case. Our key task is to prepare the best possible case for compensation and present this directly to your opponent or their insurance company with the aim of achieving a settlement without having to resort to court proceedings.

The preparation of your case might involve taking photographs and measurements of the location of your accident or injury (including any equipment, machinery or vehicles involved), the preperation of witness statements and expert medical or other professional opinions and reports. Whatever is needed to be done Dennison Greer will do it so that you don't have to worry about a thing.

Please remember that under our 'no win - no fee' policy we wikll not ask you to pay anything at all towards the costs of preparing your claim, regardless of the complexity of your case.

Step 3 - Presenting Your Claim for Compensation

Dennison Greer's personal injury team has many years experience in presenting cases to achieve the maximum possible level of compensation for our clients and you can be assured that we will be working flat out to get a result for you as quickly as practicable.

Dennison Greer will draw all the evidence together with the aim of presenting the best possible case on your behalf. We undertake to pro-actively pursue your claim with professionalism and vigour and we always seek to encourage an early stage, positive response.

In some cases, however, when insurers reject a claim or offer an unrealistic settlement, we will have no option but to issue court proceedings on your behalf. Should we find ourselves in this position we will discuss it and the funding options with you full before proceeding.

Step 4 - Court Proceedings

Sometimes court proceedings are unavoidable. Where this happens Dennison Greer will ensure that your case is properly prepared for court and that all necessary expert and other witnesses are well prepared to give evidence on your behalf.

Although Dennison Greer is always totally prepared for a court appearance, it is a fact, however, that the majority of proceedings settle 'out of court' and that an acceptable settlement is usually reached before the hearing date.

If Dennison Greer take your claim to Court, you can be assured that we have the expertise and experience to achieve the maximum possible award. Although the outcome can never be guaranteed, we will not issue proceedings unless we ahve a strong belief in the validity and strength of our case.

You will naturally be appraised of progress every step of the way and given ample opportunity to discuss your claim with us.
