\"\"Personal injury claims can be quite costly for insurers.\u00a0 A Claimant may be awarded thousands of pounds for the injuries they have sustained at the negligence of a third party, and it is the negligent third party\u2019s insurer who has to pay for this.<\/p>\n

Further, where the insurer has to pay compensation<\/a>, they are also liable for the other side\u2019s costs \u2013which again can amount to thousands of pounds.\u00a0 It is therefore not surprising that some insurers will try and deal with personal injury claims<\/a> directly with the accident victims.\u00a0 For instance, they will contact the injured party and see if they can settle their injury claim there and then<\/strong>.\u00a0 This proves to be a lot cheaper because they can often settle the claim for less than it is worth, and they do not have to pay the injured persons solicitors.\u00a0 If you are approached by an insurer direct to settle your claim for compensation, you have to be very careful.<\/p>\n

Once you agree any compensation in settlement of your claim, that is it.\u00a0 You cannot go back a few months later and ask for more when you realise that the insurers did not have your best interests at heart.\u00a0 Your compensation claim is settled.
\n
\nAt The Injury Lawyers<\/a>, our experience of people who have settled their claims for compensation is that they often under-settle their claim because they have not taken legal advice.\u00a0Their claim may be worth \u00a35,000<\/strong>, but they have settled for \u00a31,000<\/strong> and they are still suffering.\u00a0 It is disappointing when we have to tell them that there is not an awful lot we can do to help them<\/strong>.\u00a0 The process of agreeing compensation with an insurer directly is called \u2018third party capture<\/strong>\u2019.\u00a0 The reason being is that your claim is often under-settled and they have got to you before you have had a chance to seek the advice of a solicitor who would have been able to properly value your claim and get you the maximum compensation you deserve.\u00a0 In the end, the insurer has saved thousands of pounds \u2013 potentially at your expense.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers our legal advice is free, and if you instruct us to deal with your claim, we will not charge you a penny either.\u00a0 It may take a little longer for you to get your compensation than it would if you dealt with an insurer directly, but I am sure that extra money at the end will make it worth it.\u00a0 You really only have more to gain if you step back a second, seek out an expert injury lawyer, and then instruct them.\u00a0 It won\u2019t cost you a penny and you won\u2019t end up under-settling your claim or settling it when you still have not recovered from your injuries.\u00a0 Even better, a quality injury lawyer can get you free medical treatment<\/strong> so that you could recover sooner.\u00a0 There are really a whole host of benefits from seeking strong legal advice and representation.<\/p>\n
