Even though the law changed on April 1st, meaning other lawyers will now take up to 25% of your personal injury compensation claim, we are still offering you the opportunity to keep all 100% of your compensation.

The new rules mean that lawyers are unable to recover all of their legal fees from the other side. But instead of taking the money that is rightfully yours, we’re taking the hit instead. Why? Because we are a national firm of specialist personal injury lawyers who take on and win such a high volume of cases that we can afford to take the hit.

Many people never bother putting in a claim for compensation, even when they are entitled to do so. One of the biggest fears is losing the claim. So we address the big question – is it worth the hassle and the cost?

First things first, we operate a genuine no win, no fee basis. We only take your claim on if we think we have a good enough chance of winning the case. If we don’t win, we write off our fees so we don’t get paid. It’s a cost benefit analysis for us – are we prepared to fund the case on the basis that we might not be paid?

In past years, 100% compensation has been advertised and given to clients of law firms on a no win no fee basis. From 1^st April 2013 this has become somewhat of a thing of the past, as The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (or LASPO) has changed the law so that lawyers cannot obtain a success fee and after the event insurance premiums for most cases from the other side.

What is a success fee?

A success fee is something which law firms charge to increase their fees because their client has succeeded. This helps to fund no win no fee claims as some cannot be won. Before 1^st April 2013, this was recovered from the other side; after 1^st April 2013, the law changed and these fees cannot be recovered from the other side and law firms can take up to 25% directly from their client’s compensation to cover this fee.

As soon as we agree to act for you in your case, we will look to correspond with the Defendant, or more commonly with their insurers, solicitors or representatives. Different types of cases are run in different ways. For example all road traffic accidents are submitted through a designated online portal. Most general claims where the date of the accident occurred after 31^st July 2013 are also through a portal. There are some set rules or guidelines (in law known as protocols) which we must adhere to. Equally there are set rules and guidelines (set out in the specific protocol) which the Defendant should adhere to. If the Defendant fails to adhere to the protocol then we can take the necessary action.

We deal with car accident compensation claims day in and day out, and we have seen our fair share of serious accidents and significant multi-car pile ups. But reading the story of the 100 car pileup in Sheppey, Kent, that happened last week was something else.

According to news sources from the BBC more than 60 people were injured, 8 of them seriously, as over 130 vehicles ended up in a huge collision when thick fog reduced visibility to dangerous levels. There were reports that more than 200 people were treated for minor injuries as well, and the collision reportedly went on for more than 10 minutes.

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.

Building sites can be dangerous if basic health and safety rules are not adhered to. The Health and Safety Executive government website provides a vast array of information containing basic rules and regulations. It is said that site organisation and management is of paramount importance. This does make sense as on building sites you can have individual workers, teams of workers and vehicles such as dump trucks. Traffic management is essential to ensure that individuals are safe when vehicles are moving and transporting materials close by on site.

Clinical negligence occurs when a clinician has negligently breached their duty owed to you and caused a loss. Examples include surgery, dentistry or where you have been incorrectly diagnosed. In addition to these examples, clinical negligence can occur in regard to things which should NOT have been done. For instance, if incorrect medication has been prescribed or the treatment which you have received has been incorrect.

Genuine 100% Compensation

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.

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.
