Questions clients ask
How much is my personal injury claim worth?
It depends on the severity of your injuries, your recovery, your financial losses and how Jamaican courts have valued similar injuries. We can give you an estimate once we have your medical reports.
Will my claim go to court?
Many claims are settled with the insurer without a trial. If the offer is too low, we can file a claim in court, and even then many cases settle before a final hearing.
I was injured while on holiday in Jamaica. Can you help?
Yes. We act for visitors injured in Jamaica and can handle the claim after you have returned home, keeping in touch by email, phone and video call.
