The duration depends on the claim and the law that applies. Generally, our compensation lawyers in Newcastle settle our clients’ claims in 1- 1.5 years unless they have had surgery that extends the recovery period, or the case needs to go to court.

Our team of compensation lawyers funds the disbursements required in order to obtain the evidence required and deducts its costs from our injured clients’ settlement monies only when they are successfully awarded compensation.
