During Robotnik’s PROMOTION party, Sonic and Tails ended up breaking one of Robotnik’s walls (the scene is brilliantly replayed here, with excellent restoration).

The following outlined procedure will help you understand the Road Traffic Accident Personal Injury Law Process.
1. Report to police and ICBC: Reporting the road traffic accident to the police is of paramount importance and should be done at the earliest. The police will issue you with a file number as reference that could be quoted as a reference for future correspondence. In UK, you would need to report the accident to ICBC through a telephone. ICBC will also issue a file number and sets up an appointment for you to see an adjuster. 2. Meeting the solicitor and an ICBC claims adjuster: A consultation with the solicitor is recommended before you meet the adjuster appointed by ICBC. This will go a long way in protecting your interests. The best scenario would be to make your solicitor accompany you to meet the ICBC claims adjuster, so that all information you give out to the adjuster is accurate and your solicitor has the first hand information is building your case at a later date.
3. Negotiations with ICBC: Negotiations can begin anytime after the meeting with the adjuster. The negotiations can go on until you go to court or the case is settled. More than 90% of the ICBC cases are settled before they come to trial. To get the most out of them negotiations normally continue up to the date of the trial.
4. Filing a lawsuit: After a few meetings with your solicitor, the solicitor will review the circumstances and the evidence that keep you out of blame’s way. The solicitor would then carry on to reviewing the evidence of damages to your claim by interviewing witnesses for assessing liability.
The solicitor then takes a call on whether to file a lawsuit or not and if necessary, will assess the timing of the lawsuit. The timing would depend on the negotiation level with ICBC, your personal injury symptoms and the size and complex nature of he claim itself.
5. Trial date: Trial date should be set as early as possible, but it is advisable to leave it to the solicitor to do as he/she feels best.
6. Documentation and Pre-trial examinations: After the lapse of 6-12 months from the beginning of a lawsuit, each party to the accident is examined by the lawyers of the other side before trial. This is done to try and gather evidence of liability on your part, so that they could deny part or all of the coverage. In a normal procedure, documents are exchanged that include evidence pertaining to wage loss and other opportunities which may have been lost due to the accident.
7. Trial: If the negotiations fail before trial, going to court becomes necessary. The court hears out the evidence for fault finding, your losses due to the accident and a decision is made by the judge or jury to find the fault and to ascertain the amount of damages suffered.
8. Appeals: If the decision of the court is not acceptable to any of the parties involved, an appeal can be made to the B.C. Court of Appeal. The decision is reviewed, based upon the evidence and facts. A decision is taken to uphold the previous decision or overturn it accordingly.

Legal Claim UK is a nationwide network of specialist personal injury law solicitors who are members of the Law Society panel of personal injury experts and will deal with claims using the no win no fee scheme. Compensation is paid in full² and our claims are completely risk free. You will not be asked to pay anything at all as the case proceeds.
Each year in the UK over two million people are hurt in accidents caused by another persons negligence and these include road traffic accidents caused by careless driving and accidents caused by unsafe conditions in a workplace or facility. The civil legal system enables victims of these accidents to seek justice and financial redress for the harm they suffered and provides a way of recovering expenses caused by the accident such as private medical treatment and loss of earnings.
In order to claim compensation for personal injury and loss following an accident it is usually necessary to prove negligence although there are certain circumstances, particularly involving some accidents that occur at work, where it is not necessary to prove negligence because an employer may be absolutely liable for the consequences of certain failures. Negligence exists where there is a duty of care, together with a failure to take reasonable care for the safety of another person. In order to claim damages it is also necessary to show that any losses sustained are reasonably foreseeable and are as a direct result of the accident. Questions of whether or not there has been negligence are best left to personal injury law specialists and our solicitors will give detailed advice at no cost as to your chances of success and the potential value of any claim.
The Limitation Act 1980 sets out the time limits for making a claim and in very general terms a claim must be settled or proceedings must have been issued in a court of law within three years of the accident however there are a number of important exceptions. The three year period does not start running until the age of 18 years and for those with mental incapacity the time may never start to run. Time also does not run until the discovery of the injury or at least until the time that the injury ought to have been discovered with the exercise of reasonable diligence. Limitations matters can be complex and difficult legal issues that require consideration by a specialist lawyer. If you are in any doubt whatsoever you should take urgent professional advice. The golden rule in personal injury claims is to get the action started as soon as possible otherwise the opportunity to claim compensation may be lost forever. Our experienced personal injury law solicitors will give free legal advice on all limitation issues.
Compensation that is awarded is divided into two parts. Special damages represents compensation for those items that can be calculated accurately and includes wages losses and expenses associated with the claim. General damages represents compensation for those items that cannot be calculated with accuracy and must, in the main be assessed. This item includes the pain and suffering for an injury caused as a result of an accident. Pain and suffering is extremely difficult to calculate as money quite simply cannot compensate for physical damage. Judges do however make awards based on previous court cases and for this they refer either to the court records which are often published or to a book called ‘Kemp and Kemp’ which is a digest of all of important compensation awards made over the years. Reference is also made to a government guide for judges and practitioners issued by the ‘Judicial Studies Board’ which sets out to distil all of the previous awards made into a useful guide categorised into different injuries and different degrees of severity.
If you have been injured in an accident within the last three years that wasn’t your fault you should contact us. You will receive a complete professional service from solicitors who specialise in claiming compensation for personal injury caused as a result of an accident.
