Did you know we still offer 100%?

Many personal injury lawyers and claims companies are thinking of as many ways as possible to entice you to use their services. There are some firms out there who will give you money up front as an incentive to make your claim with them.

But here are some reasons as to why this isn’t always as attractive as it might sound…

Thanks to government law changes that happened in April 2013, law firms are no longer allowed to recover all of their legal fees from your opponent. For years, most accident victims have been able to keep all 100% of their payout for pain, suffering, and financial loss thanks to access to justice rules that made the culprits, not the victims, pay for claims.

But unfortunately, the giant insurance industry reared its ugly head and convinced the government to change the law – probably because of how much money they plough in to political parties. But I’ll spare you the politics lesson and give you the info you need to know about how much lawyers are now charging their clients.

WATCH OUT! Most don’t offer 100% Compensation like we do!

So you’ve had an accident and you think you are owed compensation – who do you make your claim for personal injury compensation with?

Do you go with a big name you’ve seen on the TV with a catchy advert, promising you the best expertise you need? Do you go with the law firm you heard on the radio who say they offer years and years of specialist personal injury experience?

The thing is, you need to be very careful – most companies are not what they seem, and most won’t offer you a 100% agreement!

After what may have been a traumatic accident, you may feel too fragile to consider making the decision regarding which law firm to instruct on your claim; especially with the high number of firms out there all wanting your business. With the wrong law firm on board, the whole process could become more drawn out and a greater hassle than it needs to be – this is why it is advisable to do your research and choose the best law firm, for you, from the outset.

I have listed some important things to look out for when researching law firms:

1. 100% of your compensation – you should make sure that on settling your claim you obtain all your compensation with no deductions or hidden charges. This is an item which can be checked on a firm’s website, but also should be checked before agreeing any no win no fee contract. If you are unsure you, should ask your lawyer directly.
2. No fees to you – you should make sure that you are not solely responsible for the solicitors’ costs. Solicitors’ costs are the fees they charge for the time spent on your case. A good place to check this can be to see if the solicitor’s costs are restricted. Solicitors’ do not always get all of their costs on a claim – so, if it doesn’t specifically state that your lawyers costs are restricted to whatever they recover from the other side, they can come to you for the remainder.
3. Service Standards – firstly, check to see if the law firm even has any policies on client care – if not, this may tell you a lot about the firm. If they do have policies, then ask about them, and they should be happy to tell you. At The Injury Lawyers, for instance, we have a policy of updating our clients every 2 weeks and returning client calls within 24 hours, if we are unable to return it the same day.

Brain injury claims are extremely complex personal injury claims. They must be conducted by a specialist in the area in order for the claim to be progressed and maximised to its full potential. It is often more difficult to prove a brain injury claim as this is due to the fact that the victim may not look as though they are actually affected or have a brain injury.

There also may not be a visible injury such as scarring. This is often why images of the injuries sustained at the time of the incident are often crucial in further strengthening a case to make a brain injury claim.
