\"\"So, here\u2019s the situation: You have been unfortunate enough to have been involved in a road traffic accident<\/a>, and as a result, you have sustained an injury – let\u2019s say whiplash<\/a>.\u00a0 It is clear from a legal perspective that your accident is not your fault; it is the fault of the negligent third party driver.\u00a0 This means that you are entitled to compensation<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The negligent driver\u2019s insurers get in touch with you and say something along the lines of \u2018it looks like the accident was not your fault, and yes, we can see you were injured.\u00a0 We are really sorry about this and we realise we should compensate you; so here\u2019s \u00a3500.00<\/em><\/strong>\u2019.\u00a0 Naturally, the thought of \u00a3500.00 is quite appealing I would imagine; especially if your whiplash<\/a> is not too severe.\u00a0 You accept, but later realise your injury was much worse and needs more attention, and you believe you should get more money.\u00a0 Problem<\/em><\/strong>: By accepting the \u00a3500.00, you have settled your claim and left yourself undercompensated.\u00a0 At The Injury Lawyers<\/a><\/em> we hear of this on too many occasions.\u00a0 The technical name for this is \u2018Third Party Capture<\/em><\/strong>\u2019.\u00a0 This blog sets out some free advice for those who have been involved in a road traffic accident<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you have been in a road traffic accident<\/a> which was not your fault, and you have suffered an injury, it is likely that you are due compensation<\/a>.\u00a0 It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to seek legal advice for your potential claim.\u00a0 And I am not just saying this to ensure the income of solicitor\u2019s.\u00a0 Don\u2019t believe me? Well, give The Injury Lawyers<\/a><\/em> a call.\u00a0 Our advice is 100% free<\/em><\/strong> and there are absolutely no strings attached.\u00a0 If you want, you can take our advice and look elsewhere for another legal representative – not a problem.\u00a0 We are happy if you\u2019re happy, and we are also happy when people do the sensible thing and seek free legal advice.\u00a0 At least this way you do not under settle your potential personal injury claim<\/a> and are left with no option but to rue this decision.
\n<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, if you have had an accident and the other side offers you money, the reality is that they want you to accept this offer because they know that without legal advice they can settle your claim cheaply, and then that money they should owe you remains in their pockets.\u00a0 It is unlikely in my opinion that the other side\u2019s insurers truly care about you and your injuries<\/em><\/strong>, because at the end of the day, they are a business trying to save some money<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Yes, maybe the negligent driver is truly sorry for the accident, and feels awful about the pain you have suffered – but the insurer\u2019s, well, I think they have \u00a3\u2019s in their eyes.\u00a0 The only real plus point is that your claim for compensation is over and done with, there is no chance of it dragging on, and you can get your money almost straightaway.\u00a0 But would you rather have \u00a32,500 in a few months, or \u00a3500.00 now<\/em><\/strong>?<\/p>\n

If you have been involved in an accident, it is important that you do not settle your claim without quality legal advice.\u00a0 We do not charge for our advice or for the conduct of your claim.\u00a0 You do not have to instruct us, but please bear in mind that we are experienced personal injury lawyers<\/a> who are on your side, and will fight tooth and nail for your claim, making sure you get 100% of the maximum compensation<\/a> you deserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
