There is a lot of competition when it comes to personal injury lawyers – and this can be incredibly confusing when you find yourself in the situation looking for someone to help you when you are considering making a claim. One of the main things to remember is that this solicitor will be with you from the beginning of your claim right through to the end and therefore it should always be someone that you feel comfortable and happy with.
One of the main ways of ensuring that the company you instruct is the best one to run your claim is to contact and instruct a firm direct. What I mean by this is that often your insurance company or a claims management company will try and direct you to one of their solicitors who will start pursuing your claim without you even having spoken to them before!
At first glance this may not appear as strange as I am making it, but would you really trust another person to buy a car for example without you first seeing the car and ensuring that it is the right one for you? Although a very different service, the principle is clear. Always ensure you speak with the personal injury firm direct before proceeding with any claim.
So when you do contact a firm direct what should you be looking for?
Of course, this blog is to inform you that here at The Injury Lawyers we offer all of the above! We have a unique Client contact policy in place which ensures you are updated on your claim throughout and with our extended opening hours, if you’ve got a question there will always be someone in the office to help! (Even at the weekend).
We only deal with personal injury claims and therefore have specialised expertise in this area and know how best to progress your claim and aim for the highest amount of compensation. Finally, we do offer a genuine No Win No Fee, something that is even more important following the changes in April 2013 as we also can offer 100% on claims for occupier’s accidents, accidents and work and council claims, among a few others!
This final point is certainly something to consider further – on April 1st 2013 new legislation came into force meaning that many solicitors are now deducting a percentage from any damages awarded to the Claimant. From our research it appears that many are now deducting 25%, however as confirmed above for certain accidents we can still offer 100% compensation and on others we are offering a competitive rate so it is certainly worth giving us a call today!
We can get the claim going as soon as you are happy too, on the initial call if necessary, so it is certainly worth contacting us today for free friendly advice.
