Usually there will be an exchange of “pre-action” correspondence to attempt to resolve matters if possible. Dispute resolution methods like mediation, or offers to settle, can also be explored if they are appropriate. However, if a Court claim is needed and matters do proceed to trial, then it is likely that you would then need to attend as a witness in the case. Which Court is appropriate to pursue your case in can also depend on its value. This is something our team of professional negligence solicitors can help with. We will work with you to make sure that you are fully prepared for any court attendance.
