\"\"Apparently we are all making claims for compensation<\/a>.\u00a0 As soon as the slightest thing happens to us we want to be compensated<\/strong>.\u00a0 In fact, the situation has got so bad that no-one dare let us do anything now in case we get the smallest of \u2018injuries<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 and put in a claim.\u00a0 Worse still, apparently people are getting compensation without having to prove any wrong-doing on the other sides\u2019 part or with the flimsiest of evidence.\u00a0 And this is all because lawyers keep telling us to make claims on a \u2018No Win No Fee<\/a>\u2019 basis.\u00a0 Well, that is what the media would have us believe at least.\u00a0 So are we gripped in a \u2018compensation culture<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 that is worsening the society we live in?<\/p>\n

I would say definitely not<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 You simply cannot be compensated unless you have a real injury, and this was caused by someone else\u2019s negligence.\u00a0 Certainly, if you are making a claim for compensation<\/a> owing to a personal injury, you will need evidence, such as a medical report, to support your injury.\u00a0 And even then, you (well, your lawyers) will need to demonstrate that you were injured because of someone else\u2019s negligent action(s).<\/p>\n

And further, what would a lawyer get from taking on a claim that will never succeed on a \u2018No Win, No Fee<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 basis?\u00a0 If you do not win your claim they do not get paid<\/strong>.\u00a0 And how is a lawyer going to get paid for winning your case, if your injury is not real and you and was not caused by the fault of a negligent third party?\u00a0 Here at The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we work on a Genuine No Win, No Fee<\/a> which means that we never charge you – ever!\u00a0 That means there would be absolutely nothing in it for us at all to take on a claim that has no chance of succeeding.\u00a0 We would therefore never encourage this<\/strong>.
\n<\/p>\n

We are simply not caught up in a \u2018Compensation Culture\u2019.<\/em><\/strong> Instead, I would suggest that what is happening is that people are now more conscious that they are able to claim for compensation<\/a> if they have been injured as a result of someone else\u2019s negligence.\u00a0 Because of greater media advertising amongst personal injury lawyers, people have become more aware.<\/p>\n

So, if you have suffered a personal injury through no fault of your own and you believe you may have a claim for compensation<\/a>, please do not feel that if you seek the advice of a quality professional injury lawyer that you will be labelled, wrongly, as some sort of person trying to make money from nothing.\u00a0 Our team here at The Injury Lawyers<\/a> are a professional and highly respected firm with a history of excellence in this area of law.\u00a0 Our lawyers can advise you as to whether you have a genuine claim for compensation<\/a> in a matter of minutes.\u00a0 There is nothing in it for us to string you along; we would not make money from pretending you have a claim. So please do not be apprehensive about getting in touch<\/a> if you have been injured!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
