The personal injury case flow in the UK typically involves several key stages:
Accident and Initial Consultation: The injured party (claimant) seeks medical attention and consults a personal injury lawyer.
Gathering Evidence: The lawyer collects evidence, including medical reports, witness statements, and accident reports.
Letter of Claim: The claimant's lawyer sends a letter of claim to the defendant (the party allegedly responsible for the injury), detailing the claim and the evidence.
Response from Defendant: The defendant responds to the letter of claim, either accepting liability or disputing the claim.
Pre-Action Protocol: Both parties follow the Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims, which encourages early settlement and exchange of information.
Negotiation and Settlement: The parties attempt to negotiate a settlement. If an agreement is reached, the case is resolved without going to court.
Issue of Proceedings: If no settlement is reached, the claimant's lawyer issues a claim form at the appropriate court.
Defence and Allocation: The defendant files a defence, and the court allocates the case to the appropriate track (small claims, fast track, or multi-track).
Disclosure: Both parties exchange relevant documents and evidence.
Expert Reports: Experts may be appointed to provide reports on liability, causation, and quantum (the amount of compensation).
Case Management Conference: A court hearing to manage the case, set timelines, and encourage settlement.
Trial: If no settlement is reached, the case goes to trial where both parties present their evidence and arguments.
Judgment: The judge makes a decision on liability and compensation.
Enforcement: If the defendant does not pay the awarded compensation, the claimant can take steps to enforce the judgment.
