The General Process of a Personal Injury Case
Fortis is with you every step of the way.
Step 1
Reporting the accident
It is important to report an accident to your insurance company as soon as possible so that you do not lose your right to compensation. Fortis lawyers can assist you with reporting if necessary.
Step 2
Data collection
The necessary data varies across case types, but for personal injury cases the main case data is data that proves and documents the accident and the injury; such as police reports, doctor’s reports and medical records, records from physical therapists, psychologists, dentists and other parties that assist the injured person in recovery. We at Fortis will take care of the data collection on your behalf.
Step 3
Assessment of consequences
When all the necessary data has been collected it is time to commission an impartial third-party assessor to assess the extent and the severity of the injuries suffered in the accident. As a general rule the assessment is not conducted until at least one year has elapsed from the accident’s occurrence. We at Fortis will guide you every step of the way during the assessment period of the case.
Step 4
Settlement
Fortis lawyers submit a claim for compensation based on the assessment. In most cases, an agreement on compensation is reached, but in cases where an agreement is not reached, Fortis lawyers will take care of legal action.
