Start Your Facial Injury Compensation Claim with Winns

An accident can have many implications and repercussions on those involved. Work, life and even your vehicle can be impacted, but, most importantly, so can your health which is why facial injury compensation can be vital.

An injury of any sort is hugely unsettling, but a facial injury can be particularly difficult to come to terms with. Getting help with treatment and receiving the compensation you deserve can ease a difficult transition.

If you are considering making a claim following a non-fault accident, contact a member of Winns today to see how we can help.

Can you make a facial injury compensation claim?

There are certain criteria which determine your eligibility to make a facial injury compensation claim. Firstly, you need to have been involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault. If this took place within the last three years and you have sustained an injury, or damage to your vehicle, you can make a claim through Winns.

How to make a claim?

Making a claim is straightforward; our team will explain and guide you through the process, allowing you the time you need to comprehend the system and ask any questions you may have.

Contact Winns on 0800 988 6288 (available 24 hours a day) or use the Live Chat option (available 7am - 7pm every day) on our website to talk instantly with a member of our team; alternatively request a call back to arrange a more suitable time for you to discuss your claim with an expert advisor.

Who can make a claim?

Anyone can make a facial injury compensation claim, as long as:

• They are over the age of 18 (a claim for someone under that age can be conducted by a parent or guardian, or within three years of their 18th birthday.)
• They have been involved in an accident that wasn’t their fault
• They are seeking compensation following a non-fault accident and/or a replacement vehicle, or other associated costs such as loss of earnings.

Who do I make the claim against?

When making a claim, you are claiming against the third party that caused the accident, but generally their insurance provider will provide them with indemnity, and deal with the claim on their behalf. As a result, the insurer is liable to pay costs should liability be accepted.

The same applies if the accident took place in a commercial property/place of business. As long as the accident was as a result of negligence on the part of the business, then their insurer, providing liability is accepted, will pay the resulting costs.

What facial injuries can you claim for?

There are a range of facial injuries which you can make a facial injury compensation claim for following a non-fault accident, whether on the road, in the office or in a public place. These include:

• Broken nose
• Broken or fractured jaw
• Broken or damaged teeth
• Eye injuries
• Facial scarring

The last thing you need to worry about after an unsettling accident that wasn’t your fault is the practicalities of getting your life back on track. If the accident results in you needing treatment, causes you to be off work and/or damages your vehicle, we can help with all the arrangements and claiming the compensation you could be entitled to.

Great professional service; paid attention to details and showed willingness to help! They got me a replacement car on the day and offered to fix my car immediately whilst the case is being processed. They have also managed to gather a lot of information and review all the supporting videos I shared with them immediately to ensure the case is properly and correctly processed.
