Personal Injury Interim Payments

With more and more people living month-to-month, suffering a serious injury can cause great financial uncertainty, particularly if this necessitates a period of absence from work.

If you have no entitlement to sick pay then this can often mean that families lose their only household income, and with bills to pay this adds additional stress at a time when you will already be under tremendous pressure.

In such circumstances a request for an interim payment should be submitted to the defendant insurer without delay. Such payments are an advance payment against the final settlement awarded at the conclusion of your case.

The court may make an award for an interim payment when the defendant has admitted liability to pay damages to you and the court is satisfied that you would receive a substantial amount of money from the defendant. Robert James Solicitors have significant experience of securing substantial interim payments for clients to fund their immediate financial needs and to cover the cost of case management, support and treatment.

Robert James Solicitors also have links with benefits advisers who are able to offer advice regarding available benefits and support for those who are victims of serious injury.
