Personal injury claims sometimes take a while to resolve. In recognition of this, and to cater for the Claimant’s financial needs pending resolution of their case, the law allows Claimants to apply for an interim payment to assist them financially. You can apply for an interim payment to cover losses such as loss of earnings, medical expenses, and rehabilitation costs. Interim payments aren’t additional compensation; they are ‘payments on account’, which enable you to secure part of your compensation to meet your immediate needs. The total amount of compensation you receive at the end of the claim will be paid less the total amount of interim payments already paid.
