100% Compensation Changes for Personal injury Claims

April 2013 saw the biggest shake up in the personal injury claiming world as the government changed the law to stop lawyers recovering all legal fees from the losing party. For years claimants have been able to recover all of their legal fees and keep all 100% of their payout, which is fair because why should the victims have to pay to claim?

Unfortunately our wonderful government decided to change the law and now lawyers are charging clients up to 25% of their compensation claim to cover the fees that are no longer recoverable from the other side.

Which is the Best Accident Claims Company for 100% Compensation?

Well naturally I am going to say us! But I am confident I can back it up with some sound reasons as to why we are the best firm of personal injury lawyers. First things first – we are an actual law firm so we advise you at the start and represent you through the entirety of the claim. Our advice is real legal advice. Here’s three reasons why we are the best!

Genuine 100% Compensation

In times when most law firms are now deducting up to 25% from your payout in light of recent legal reforms, we are standing out from the crowd by still offering our clients the opportunity to keep all 100% of their payout for most accident types like workplace claims or public liability claims. This is a genuine offer and there are no catches or hidden charges. It isn’t a clever cover up or some sneaky way of wording our agreement so you still get charged – it’s a genuine offer.

Whiplash Claims Average Payout

Given that whiplash claims are fairly common, you’d think this might be a simple question to answer. But the thing is whiplash can affect different people in very different ways. Some people could suffer for a mere few weeks, whereas some may have problems for months, and some may have problems for years.

From a legal perspective, there are normally three categories you can put this injury in to – minor, moderate, and severe. Now, what your doctor or a medical professional tells you is minor or severe is not the same definition as ours. So if your doc tells you that you have a severe case of whiplash, that doesn’t mean you will get the payouts that attract a severe whiplash claim by legal definition.

How Long Will it Take for Your Claim to Settle?

This isn’t a very easy question to answer. I can tell you that most straightforward claims can traditionally settle in around 6-9 months time. BUT – a new portal system that most claims are now pursued through is designed to allow for a speedy resolution to straightforward accident claims.

Before the new portal system, for most accidents the insurers would have almost 4 months to investigate a claim. Now they have just 30 business days. If your accident occurred on or after 31^st July 2013, it’s likely your claim will fall within this new portal system. There are a few exceptions, the biggest being road accidents as they have been under a separate portal system since April 2010.

So if your claim falls within the new system, it’s hard to say how long it can take as the whole process is so new.

The Injury Lawyers Genuine 100% Compensation Offer

With the world of personal injury shaken to its core in light of the reforms that took place this April, most accident victims now find themselves being charged by lawyers if they win their case. The reason for this is that lawyers are no longer able to recover all of their legal fees from the opponent as they used to be able to. As such, the bill has fallen on to the innocent victims to pay.

But if there is one thing we cannot stand here at The Injury Lawyers, it’s the idea that clients are being charged when they have been injured through no fault of their own.

That’s why we have continued our 100% compensation promise for most types of accidents.

Who are the best Injury Lawyers?

I could of course be bias and say that we are! But to be fair, I could back up exactly why we may well be the best injury lawyer for you.

In the good old days (which was before the massive legal reforms that took place in April 2013) it was all about the benefits of the service that we could offer for people – i.e. how we go the extra mile. But due to the legal reforms, most lawyers can no longer afford to offer people 100% compensation agreements. So for many, it’s about chasing the best offer, which is usually the lowest deduction.

Why won’t lawyers offer you 100%?

What is Classed as Minor Whiplash?

If you have been involved in a general road accident at speeds of less than 30mph or so, you can probably answer this question yourself; because you’re probably suffering from a case of minor whiplash.

Most people involved in general road accidents will fall within the minor whiplash category from a legal perspective. What we define as a minor whiplash injury and what your doctor defines as a minor whiplash injury can be two very, very different things. A lot of people are told by their GP or by a medical professional that they are “suffering from a severe case of whiplash.” That does not mean that the legal definition of severe will apply, as this is reserved for the really severe cases.

So what is classed as a minor whiplash injury? What sort of symptoms will you suffer from?

Slipped or Tripped in Work Storeroom Injury Claims

Slips and trips at work, especially in storerooms, are fairly common. A lot of places lack the procedures that ensure tidiness in the workplace to ensure that clutter does not end up causing a slipping or tripping hazard to any employees.

The duty to ensure that the workplace is free from such hazards is your employers. If they fail to have good systems in place for keeping the storerooms tidy, or fail to enforce such a policy, you may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation from your employers insurance.

Common examples of these kinds of claims that can be successful:

Slipped, Tripped or Fallen in a Supermarket – Should I Claim?

It’s common for people to feel a little anxious about starting a claim for personal injury compensation for many reasons. The common ones when it comes to slips, trips, and falls in a supermarket that people often raise are:

• Is it right to claim for a “stereotypical” fall in a supermarket? I don’t want to be seen as part of the “claims culture!”
• What if I lose – will I get stung with huge lawyer’s fees?
• If I win how much of my compensation will I see if my lawyer takes a huge part of it?
• Is it even worth the hassle?
• Will I win against a giant corporation? The little guy never wins in these battles!

Well luckily for you, our unique way of working here at The Injury Lawyers mean that we can address and resolve all of the above common concerns. Here’s how:
