Personal Injury Solicitors

When you are seeking damages for an injury that was the fault of someone else, choosing the right personal injury solicitors to assist you can seem like a minefield. In the UK, 1995 was the year that solicitors were able to advertise themselves and work on a “no win, no fee” basis, otherwise known as a conditional fee arrangement. This is when their fees are wavered if the case is lost and only due to be paid if the case is won, usually along with an additional success fee. This can be an excellent way for injured parties to obtain justice when legal aid is unavailable and privately funded claims are impossible.

It is vital that after the event insurance is taken out when pursuing a personal injury claim. This insurance will cover any costs or payouts due to the other side if your case is lost. If this is not mentioned early on in proceeding with a personal injury lawyer, this may be a sign to look again.

Before beginning the process of seeking a solicitor, check your existing home and motor insurance policies to see if legal advice is offered through them. Insurance companies will often make use of a trusted panel of solicitors, which will take the guesswork out of choosing the right option. This method will also be of great assistance as the fees will often be taken care of by insurance company, prior to it being recovered from the third party.

Most solicitors will offer a free initial consultation, which should be taken full advantage of when looking to choose a solicitor. During this initial discussion, the solicitor will be able to assess the accident and whether chances of success are high. Avoid any company claiming guaranteed success as the reality is success can never be guaranteed.
