How long will it take?
Due to the many different circumstances found in accident claims, it is difficult to provide an estimate without specific details. At Ellis-Fermor & Negus we appreciate that no one wants a drawn out and protracted affair but at the same time, unlike some claims handling companies, we appreciate that injuries can take time to heal. Sometimes that means checking you have fully recovered before we agree any compensation settlement on your behalf. With this in mind, you can be confident that we will work hard to achieve an outcome you are happy with, as quickly as possible.
