The fact you have legal cover may be true, however all your insurer will do is pass your details on to a firm of solicitors on their \u2018panel\u2019 in return for a substantial referral fee.\u00a0 This means that if the solicitor has paid for your case, it is likely they have less money to spend on your claim, and they may decide to spend less time on your claim. <strong>Less time and effort can lead to claims being under settled and the whole process being lengthy and drawn out<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is advisable, and also good logic, that you take the matter into your own hands and <strong>find your own specialist no win, no fee lawyer<\/strong>.\u00a0 This not only means that you will not have to pay for your claim anyway (depending on the agreement you sign &#8211; remember to always read this through thoroughly), but that you also have chosen a firm that has not paid for your claim to someone else.\u00a0 With more money to spend on your claim, you can rest assured your lawyer is doing all they can to ensure you get the maximum compensation you deserve in the quickest possible time.
