PERSONAL INJURY EXPERT SOLICITOR

Choosing a Specialist Accident Solicitor

If you have suffered an injury in an accident that was not your fault you need to be sure that the lawyer you employ to claim compensation on your behalf is a personal injury expert and is able to give you good advice. Thousands of people suffer in accidents every day and a large proportion of them simply contact their family solicitor to act on their behalf not knowing if that person is a personal injury expert solicitor and whether or not that law firm has the knowledge and experience necessary to ensure that the case is won and maximum compensation is awarded.

The Law Society Panel of Personal Injury Experts

Before a UK lawyer is entitled to be called a personal injury expert solicitor they must be approved as a member of the Law Society personal injury panel. Membership of the panel is not automatic and comes only after application by the solicitor and subsequent investigation of experience and ability sufficient to justify membership and also after it has been demonstrated by the law firm that it is able to provide adequate resources in order to support a personal injury expert.

Assessment of Damages by a Personal Injury Expert Solicitor

If an injured victim decides to proceed with a compensation claim it can be settled either out of court by agreement between the parties or in court by the order of a judge. The former process is usually used if the defendent accepts liability with agreement on damages and the latter when they either deny any responsibility for the accident having been caused through their negligence or when the defendant accepts liability but is unable to reach agreement on the value of the award. If the matter does not proceed through the courts then a personal injury expert solicitor will be in a position to negotiate settlement with the full knowledge of the prevailing rate for settling individual claims. A solicitor who is not a personal injury expert may settle your claim for substantially less than it is worth.

No Win No Fee Compensation Claims

If you have suffered personal injury in an accident you should consult a solicitor as soon as possible. In order to make a compensation claim the accident must have occurred within the last three years and have been caused as a result of negligence by another person. Many solicitors offer a no win no fee service which minimises the individual’s financial risk however the no win no fee scheme offered by this firm goes much further and can be summed up as 'win or lose no charge - compensation paid in full'. If you use our claims service there is no financial risk whatsoever and you are paid 100% of your compensation with no deductions.
