Civil Claims Guidelines

Believe it or not and despite nearly a decade of full on exposure to the compensation culture the British public are still extremely apprehensive of taking the first step in making the first move in making a personal injury compensation claim.

Talk Once is a unique service that encourages direct intervention where members of the public can talk direct to personal injury specialists alleviating the need for the infamous claims management companies who have gained such bad press during the past ten years because of their often aggressive and intimidating marketing tactics.

It is even more surprising that the majority of people do not realise that they can also pursue such civil actions themselves. We would recommend the services of Talk Once purely because there are no cost implications and as you will receive 100% of any award offered we can take the hassle of out dealing with the administration of the case. If you do however wish to pursue a civil claim action yourself without the intervention of such companies as Talk Once we hope this guide will prove valuable and informative.

Many civil claims never actually reach court because ‘out of court’ settlements often occur before attendance is required but the possibility of having to actually go to court in order for a judge to decide the outcome must be taken seriously if you intend to go it alone or ‘litigant in person’ as the goes.

Unlike criminal cases that are dealt with by the Crown Prosecution Service, personal pursuits for justice when there is a third party involved are called civil cases and are dealt with normally in the County Courts where a single judge will make a decision on who is at fault. The big difference between civil claims and criminal matters is the fact civil claims are looking to establish blame, liability and compensation whereas criminal cases deal with guilt and punishment.

In this section we will be adding links to help you get to terms with many aspects of making claims through civil actions.
