What is a No Win No Fee? Does it really do what it says on the tin? Where’s the catch? What do I have to pay? Surely it can’t be too good to be true?

Well – with a good No Win No Fee like ours, it certainly isn’t too good to be true!

There are so many different types of No Win No Fee agreements – you could get lost in a sea of them if you pass your details to more than a few solicitors. For the most part, they do what they say on the tin. But the little variations can mean the difference between a lawyer with the power to charge, and lawyer without the power to charge.

If you have been injured due to a faulty product or a dodgy service, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

We have something called the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 that is designed to ensure that any good or service you receive is fit and safe for use / purpose. Nowadays, all products must undergo rigorous testing and checking to ensure there is no way anyone can be injured. When it comes to services, those providing them should be fully qualified and trained, with a good knowledge of health and safety to ensure no rule or regulation is ever broken.

The main problem is that we all tend to implicitly trust a product we buy or a service we use. When you tuck in to that sandwich from your local supermarket, how do you know that it wasn’t accidentally dropped on the floor before being packaged? How do you know that the builder who has just completed your new garage extension has built it properly? How do you know that the shop who have just returned your laptop from repair put the wires back in properly?

If you were correctly driving along, or you were sitting stationary in your vehicle, when rather annoyingly some other driver rams you up the backside, I have some good news and some bad news for you.

I’ll start with the bad – to get it over and done with – in the next few days (or even hours) you will probably start feeling pain, soreness, stiffness, and / or aches in your neck, shoulders, and back. This is called whiplash – and it’s an absolute pain to live with (I know – I’ve currently got it as well thanks to my local bus service!).

The common symptoms of whiplash are:

Road accidents are common – we secure compensation for countless road accident victims on a daily basis. You get the more obscure types of road claims, but there are a few common ones that we see a lot of. The thing with accidents on roundabouts is that they can include any (or more) of the common circumstances below; which can all happen any other road accident situation. On a roundabout, they can occur more frequently.

• Rear end collisions – other drivers failing to stop at the entrance of a roundabout, or failing to heed the traffic on a roundabout
• Negligent drivers pulling out on to a roundabout whilst you’re already on it
• Negligent drivers changing lanes on a roundabout when they realise they aren’t in the correct lane – something you should never attempt to do!
• Drivers failing to give way to their right, as per road regulations, and causing a crash with you
• A whole range of motorbike accidents where drivers aren’t looking hard enough for smaller road users

They’re quite common – perhaps many drivers find roundabouts, particularly multi lane ones, rather complicated to negotiate.

It’s a common fact that the victims of motorcycle accidents are often left with severe injuries that can be potentially life threatening, or even, tragically, fatal. An obvious point – a motorcycle doesn’t offer the protection of welded metal and multiple crumple zones and other defensive features a car normally has. This factor, coupled with the fact that motorcyclists can be difficult to spot, and people just don’t think about the possibility of a motorcyclists presence on the road, is a recipe for disaster.

If you’re an injured motorcycle accident victim, and you’re reading this blog, please do read on. There is some important information I need to get across to you as part of your decision process for selecting your injury lawyer to start your claim. If the accident wasn’t your fault, you are entitled to make a claim for compensation.

Firstly, I hope you’re not too seriously injured, and I hope you are on your way to recovery. Secondly, take care when choosing your lawyer.

If you’ve seen any of my recent articles about whiplash, you may already know what I’m about to say.

I’ve been advising people about whiplash claims for a long time now, and signing them up to our unique Genuine No Win No Fee agreement that guarantees in black and white there are no costs for losing, and 100% compensation for winning –we cannot charge you for a successful claim!

But now, thanks to my local bus service, I can truly sympathise with all you whiplash victims out there – almost three weeks on from my bus incident, my whiplash is continuing on. The pain now is mainly in my back – it seems to ache and hurt in different places depending on whether I’m walking around, sat at my desk, or driving my car. I saw my doctor yesterday, whom checked me out, confirmed the injury, and gave me some exercises to do, and advised me to take anti-inflammatory / rheumatic pain killers on a regular basis.

A huge part of my job is to give free claims advice, and assess claims over the phone for anyone who has been injured in an accident through no fault of their own. It’s nice to let people know when they have a good claim, and it’s nice when the claimant instructs is there. I thoroughly enjoy it!

There, is however, another part that I do not like so much; in fact, it’s safe to say I don’t enjoy it at all. It’s never nice to hear when an accident victim calls up and they have already been taken advantage of by insurance companies, claims management companies, and solicitors willing to buy cases for extortionate referral fees.

For this article, my focus is on the insurers.
