\"whoI 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 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\u2019s about chasing the best offer, which is usually the lowest deduction.<\/p>\n

Why won\u2019t lawyers offer you 100%?<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

The government altered the way legal fees are recovered from the other side. They stopped the recoverability of something called a Success Fee and something called an After The Event insurance premium. The Success Fee is a percentage of fees lawyers get for winning the case, which is designed to reflect the fact that lawyers cannot win them all. This was about access to justice \u2013 i.e. being able to get a no win, no fee and have a shot at claiming what you might be owed.<\/p>\n

The insurance is normally taken out to cover a clients for risks or being charged by the opponent in certain scenarios, and also to cover things that might not be able to be recovered from the other side \u2013 like the cost of a medical report.<\/p>\n

With lawyers being unable to recover these, the innocent Claimants are taking the hit \u2013 and the government set a cap of 25% to stop lawyers taking any more than 25% from a client\u2019s payout for the Success Fee.<\/p>\n

But what if I was to tell you that there are still ways you can keep all 100% of your payout?<\/p>\n

Our 100% Compensation Agreement<\/strong><\/p>\n

With most law firms taking the full 25% from your payout, I can give you one solid reason why we might be the best injury lawyer for you \u2013 because for most claims like work accidents, slips and trips, public liability claims etc we can still offer you the opportunity to keep all 100% of your agreement.<\/p>\n
