A lot of that was down to claiming the right way as well as our negotiating tactics with the other side.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Road accident claims &#8211; The Facts:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Many people are tempted in to under settling their claim directly with insurers<\/li>\n<li>Many go through referral lawyers by being passed to them by claims management companies or insurers and end up with a poor service<\/li>\n<li>Many law firms, due to recent legal fee reforms and historic referral fees, fall victim to standard offers that their lawyers get them to accept<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When it comes to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/whiplash-injury.php\" title=\"click to read more on this...\">whiplash type injuries<\/a> relating to soft tissue damage to the neck, back, and shoulder, the facts when it comes to payouts are these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Settling directly usually means a payout of between \u00a3500 to \u00a31,500<\/li>\n<li>The average minor whiplash claim settles for around \u00a32,500<\/li>\n<li>Research has shown that good lawyers can get you four times more than the original offer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So when we say that we can get you more, we really are telling the truth! In this case I can tell you that the negotiation process resulted in the following offers made:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An offer from the insurers to accept in full and final settlement of just over \u00a34,300<\/li>\n<li>A second offer from the Defendant solicitors for just over \u00a36,700<\/li>\n<li>A third offer form the solicitors for \u00a37,200<\/li>\n<li>A fourth offer of just over \u00a38,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But, as confirmed in the title, we settled for a sum that was just shy of \u00a39,000 because we stuck to our guns and showed the solicitors defending the claim that we mean business. A lot of the offers mentioned above where made by way of \u2018Part 36\u2019 which puts people at risk of cost consequences if their offers are not beaten. The point of doing this is to put Claimants at risk, and some lawyers are simply too frightened to keep fighting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But we are not \u2013 we\u2019re not called The Injury Lawyers for no reason at all!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eventually the solicitors accepted our offer which had been made despite them trying to settle for less with the offers above. Unfortunately the Court system isn\u2019t always Claimant friendly, so a Judge at a hearing could so easily have awarded a less sum and caused cost issues for the Claimant had we have gone to trial.<\/p>\n<p>But like I said above, we stuck to our guns, and we obtained a fantastic settlement that our client was happy to have received.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s another example of how we can get you more!
