How long does a face injury claim take?

There’s no set amount of time a facial injury compensation claim can take.

How long your claim takes is largely dictated by whether the individual or company responsible for your injuries admits responsibility. If they do accept that your injuries were their fault, we’ll generally be able to settle your claim much faster.

However, if they don’t admit that your facial injuries were their fault, then we’ll have to prove it. This can lengthen the proceedings as we may need to initiate court proceedings. We may also need to do this if your opponent disputes how much compensation we feel you need, and we can’t negotiate an amount.

In some cases, it may be in your best interests to take your claim to court, but we’ll do all we can to avoid court if we don’t feel it necessary. If you do need to go to court, we’ll do everything we can to prepare you and make you feel as comfortable as possible.
