Anyone who has been involved in an accident and suffered a personal injury will know the first thing they want to do after the accident is get better as quickly as possible, it’s only after a period of time will they to consider whether they might be able to make a personal injury claim.

It is at this point they may respond to an advert on television or in the newspaper offering legal advice and the chance to claim thousands of pounds in compensation with a no win, no fee service through a claims management company.

But people contacting claims companies should be wary and make sure they understand exactly what they are getting into.

Some claims companies charge a “success fee” which entitles them to a percentage of the clients compensation when the case is won, the fees can be as high as 40% of the damages and sometimes people are unaware a deduction is going to be made as the details can be tucked away in the small print of the agreement they sign with the claims company.

In addition the Claimant has no way of knowing who will end up dealing with their claim as many claims companies will simply sell the case on to the highest bidder.

By dealing directly with a personal injury claims Solicitor you immediately cut out the middleman, everything is transparent, with no hidden deductions or fees, in short a no win, no fee Solicitor will only get paid if they win the case and their fees are met by the other party in the claim, so clients pay nothing, win or loose.

In addition and more importantly, a specialist injury claims Solicitor will have access to a network of rehabilitation experts and will arrange for the injured person to have private medical treatment as soon after the accident as possible to ensure the quickest recovery.

Solicitors are one of the most regulated industries in the country, which provides piece of mind for anyone using their services.
