\"\"What to know the secret to a successful claim for personal injury compensation<\/a>? Well, read on for the three step guide to claiming the right way and maximising the potential of your compensation case:<\/p>\n

Go Direct to an Injury Lawyer \u2013 Avoid Claims Companies, Insurers, and Middlemen<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To get the advice and representation you need, go directly to a proper personal injury lawyer<\/em><\/strong>. Claims management companies, insurers, brokers, or any other middlemen are not lawyers<\/em><\/strong>. Sure, they can probably give you some advice; but they\u2019re not qualified to run a personal injury claim<\/a> from start to finish \u2013 so what do they really know?
\n<\/p>\n

All they can do is give you advice and then refer your claim on to a solicitor \u2013 always for a referral fee<\/em><\/strong>. There are hundreds of companies out there just dying to take a cut from your claim<\/em><\/strong>\u2013 so don\u2019t let them! They may say they will never take a percentage, but will they take a monetary cut? They may say they will never charge you, but will you incur a deduction? It\u2019s easy to hide the fact that a referral fee will leave you with less money<\/em><\/strong> in the small print of the paperwork. Going directly means you know there are no middlemen.<\/p>\n

Besides, even if there is no catch or cost to you, the solicitor that has bought your claim will have less money to spend on you<\/em><\/strong>. This leaves you with potentially far lower service levels<\/em><\/strong> than you deserve, a cash strapped solicitor without the funds to fight hard for your claim<\/em><\/strong>, and ultimately less money for you<\/em><\/strong>. This is often known as Legal Expense Insurance<\/em>, or Legal Protection<\/em>, or Motor Legal Protection<\/em>, in road accident claims<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Going directly to an independent Injury lawyer<\/a> means you get the best advice and representation<\/em><\/strong> for a claim. There are no middlemen, no backhanders, no catches, and no cuts! Provided you get a good injury lawyer anyway!<\/p>\n

Get a Proper Professional Personal Injury Lawyer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s always best to get a lawyer that specialises and deals only with claims<\/em><\/strong> for personal injury. This should guarantee you a bespoke service \u2013 you\u2019re dealing with a lawyer that only represents victims of personal injury \u2013 so you\u2019re getting the best advice with the most experience<\/em><\/strong>. A personal injury specialist, with years and years of dealing with personal injury claims, will be able to maximise the potential of your claim<\/em><\/strong>; making sure you get the maximum compensation<\/em><\/strong> you deserve.<\/p>\n

Get The Genuine No Win No Fee<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So, you\u2019ve gone direct to a law firm \u2013 now what? Make sure they offer you a Genuine No Win No Fee<\/a> agreement. The No Win No Fee<\/a> part of most agreements is the same \u2013 if you lose, you pay nothing to your lawyers. \u00a0The variance between agreements stems from what happens if you win<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

The Injury Lawyers Genuine No Win No Fee<\/span>: means that you are guaranteed 100% compensation<\/em><\/strong>, because our legal fees are limited<\/em><\/strong> to whatever we can recover from the other side.<\/p>\n

Standard No Win No Fee from other lawyers<\/span>: means that your solicitor will only seek to recover your fees<\/em><\/strong> from the other side. If they fail to get any or all of their fees paid for by the other side, they could rightfully under the agreement charge you for any outstanding amount<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some of the less victim-friendly No Win no Fees are rather explicit and state that the solicitor WILL recover lost fees from your compensation<\/em><\/strong>. Some are less subtle \u2013 utilising the \u201cseek to recover<\/strong>\u201d part, and then telling people verbally that \u201cit has to be written this way; don\u2019t worry, we won\u2019t charge you<\/strong>.\u201d To be fair, most reputable companies would uphold this. But just remember: they could, if they wanted to, charge you. And some companies will use that power.<\/p>\n
