Why Most Injury Claims Don’t Go to Court
Out of the 604,000 workplace injuries reported in the UK (HSE 2023/24), most injury claims are resolved through negotiation. Claim Today typically achieves a 95% settlement success rate for cases we choose to represent.
This is not the default. In fact, it’s the last resort. Insurers often prefer to settle to avoid the cost and risk of losing in court. That means you can often get full compensation without ever stepping into a courtroom.
Benefits of Settling Your Injury Claim Out of Court
1. Faster Resolution
Claims can take over a year. Settlements usually resolve within 3–9 months.
2. Less Stress
No witness statements or appearances. Just straight forward communication.
3. Lower Risk
With our No Win No Fee agreement, you only pay if we win. Settlements reduce unpredictability.
4. More Control
You can choose to accept or reject settlement offers based on your comfort and needs.
When Court May Be Necessary in the Claim Today Process
While rare, some cases may need court proceedings:
- The insurer denies liability
- Settlement offers are unfair or too low
- There are complex injuries or legal disputes
Even in these cases, Claim Today prepares from day one to handle both outcomes.
