You can appeal against a decision if your personal injury claim goes to court. To do so you need permission from the court, and this means demonstrating the following:
- The law was applied incorrectly by the judge in your case
- Vital evidence was ignored or misunderstood by the judge in your case
Sometimes an appeal can be based on new evidence emerging to support your claim. The evidence in question must meet the following criteria:
- It couldn’t have been obtained originally through due diligence
- It would have materially impacted the outcome of the original trial
- It is credible
