Question 1 of 9

You act for a claimant in a personal injury claim. The claimant was badly injured by the defendant in a road traffic accident several months ago. The defendant has admitted liability in its defence. The claim is now at the case management stage. The claimant has not yet been able to return to work due to injuries sustained in the accident and has used all their savings to live on since the accident. The claimant has to move into new rented accommodation and needs money for the deposit and general expenditure for food and travel. Can the claimant apply to the court for an interim payment from the defendant at this stage of the proceedings?
