The chemicals used for bleaching, colouring, perming and straightening hair are all strong and can cause hair loss and chemical burns to the skin or scalp if used incorrectly.

It is usual to obtain evidence from a trichologist to pass opinion on the treatment carried out, the damage suffered and any possible longer term consequences. In certain cases it may also be necessary to obtain a medical report, if there is scalp or skin damage. Where we feel it is appropriate, we will arrange a medical examination with an independent doctor. This appointment will be local so you will not have to travel very far to attend. You can include these travel expenses as part of your claim.
This is very unlikely - over 90% of cases do not go to court. The insurance company does not want to waste time and money defending a case where the facts clearly determine who is at fault. For this reason the vast majority of cases are settled without court appearances.
This will depend on the circumstances of your case. Much will depend on the response of whoever you are claiming against. A straightforward claim can be settled within 9-12 months, whilst more serious injuries may take longer. Once we have carried out initial investigations, we will be in a better position to anticipate how long it will take. You can be assured that we will not delay your claim.
The level of compensation depends on the medical evidence. We can only predict the amount when we receive the independent medical report. We will then give you our informed opinion of how much your claim is worth. See here for a rough guide to levels of compensation.
We usually deal with a case by telephone and through the post, which means we do not need to arrange face-to-face meetings.
You will receive 100% of what is awarded to you. We do not make any deductions from your compensation whatsoever.
