Interim Damages before final damages
If your opponent admits the accident was his or her fault, but does not agree with the amount you are claiming, you may be able to receive some money early. Your solicitor can apply for "Interim Payment".
This is where the opponent pays some money to you now, and then the court decides how much more you should receive at a later date after more information has been obtained about what your case is worth.
An interim payment may help you pay for private hospital fees or special equipment that you require.
