Best Injury Lawyers for Claims in the UK

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!

Who’s who?

To save the fallout of being complained at, I won’t name a lot of the big names you have probably heard of who are not what they seem. But the fact is, most of them are not even lawyers. Many claim to have “specialist personal injury solicitors”, “legally trained advisers”, and “real lawyers”, but these are all just buzzwords because there is one important fact you need to know about them – they are NOT actually lawyers themselves!

Most of the big names you’ve heard of are not lawyers – they’re not a law firm, they’re not solicitors, they’re just middleman claims companies. All they do is pass you to a law firm and they don’t actually deal with the claim for you.

There are loads of them! If you’ve looked at some websites today, chances are that most of them are accident advice help centres or claims companies who just direct you to law firms after speaking to them. It’s like getting someone you don’t know to buy a house for you. It’s mad!

So watch out because you are always better off going directly to a law firm who can advise you and actually represent you for your claim. Claims companies used to get paid referral fees for passing cases to solicitors (don’t worry, we never did it) but now that’s illegal – so there could be illegal backhanders or additional charges to you!

Using the house example again – would you let someone you don’t know use your money to buy a house for you, and then charge you for it!?

So which law firm should I choose?

So now you know to go to a law firm directly, who do you choose? There are thousands of us after all. Who is the best?

Thanks to law changes in April last year, solicitors are unable to recover all of their fees from your opponent. We can still recover some fees, but not as many as we used to. So now, most lawyers will take up to 25% from your payout to cover their Success Fee which is no longer recoverable, and the law has capped it so a lawyer can’t take any more than 25% from your payout to cover it.

Most will take the full 25% from you because they don’t want to lose fees thanks to the government changes. But we are different – we still give our clients 100% compensation agreements for most types of claims, like work accidents and public liability claims.

So who is the best?

Well, you need a real law firm, and you probably don’t want to be charged a percentage so call me bias, but that certainly makes us a top lawyer! We’re a real law firm, so you won’t be passed around to anyone, and clients have always come to us directly for our reputation. We still offer 100% compensation agreements – so to us, it’s a no brainer!
