\"\"At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we are very clear that, under no circumstances, will we ever pay a referral fee for your claim<\/strong>.\u00a0 If a third party contacts us with a person\u2019s details claiming that they have been involved in an accident and would pass their details to us for a fee, we will simply refuse.\u00a0 We do not believe in paying referral fees and believe that they have a negative impact on your claim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A referral fee is a fee paid by a solicitor to an insurer or claims management company, or even the police, a garage, and other companies involved in the process, in return for the details of a person who has had an accident and who potentially has a very good claim for compensation<\/a>.\u00a0 What this means is that, for a sum anywhere between \u00a3200<\/strong> and \u00a31,000<\/strong>, a solicitor can try and get this person to make a claim for compensation using their service.\u00a0 By successfully acting for this victim of someone else\u2019s negligence, they will be entitled to recover their costs from the third party, and could make a handsome profit.\u00a0 Essentially they may not really interested in your injuries and helping you get what you deserve for them – they just want to get your claim through so that they can turn a profit at the end of it.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that if you are bombarded with texts and phone calls from a third party wanting to help you make a claim for compensation, you do not have to instruct them<\/strong>.\u00a0 You have the free will to say no, and that you want someone else to act on your behalf, or that you do not wish to pursue a claim for compensation at all (if that\u2019s the case).\u00a0 It really is entirely up to you.
\n
\nAt The Injury Lawyers all of our clients come directly to us and we would not have it any other way.\u00a0 We consider that if we were to pay \u00a3800 for your claim, then that is \u00a3800 less that we would be able to spend on providing a fantastic service to you<\/strong>.\u00a0 At the end of the day, the lawyers who pay these fees will try and recoup their outlay somehow<\/strong>.\u00a0 Whether this be reduced service levels or even trying to claw back some of it from yourself.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers, we instead vow never to charge our clients a penny for their claim.\u00a0 Under our Genuine no win, no fee<\/a> agreement you really do get to keep 100% of your compensation if you win<\/strong>.\u00a0 Furthermore, we offer enviable service levels, updating you at a minimum of 14 days, providing medical care at no cost to you, and always being as friendly and efficient as possible to help you make the claim in the most hassle free way we possibly can.<\/p>\n

If you have a potential claim for compensation and want to know how to pursue this then why not give us a free call on 0800 634 75 75<\/strong>.\u00a0 We will be on hand everyday to answer your questions and see if we can help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
