The question my client’s always seem to first ask…
As a specialist personal injury lawyer, at The Injury Lawyers, I always seem to be asked the same set of questions by every new client in that first telephone call.
I have been specialising in personal injury claims for many years now and one of the most asked and first questions is usually about my fees –
I am usually asked about my fees in one of the following way’s:-
“Do I Have To Pay”
“How Much Do I Pay”
“Do I Have To Pay Anything”
“Is it a No Win No Fee”
“Do I get 100% Compensation”.
Most people don’t know they actually never pay the costs of a claim so they hesitate in contacting Injury Lawyers.
Look at it this way, I have been practising as an expert injury lawyer for many years now, and NO – I have never charged a client, NEVER.
The Injury Lawyers has never charged a client!
In actual fact, most of the lawyers will not charge you a penny to claim so when asking those initial questions make sure you don’t pay a penny to pursue an injury claim!
Client’s sometimes, and perhaps understandably are a bit wary and think there has got to be some catch and I often hear “you don’t get something for nothing” –
The simple answer is well in a way, you do!
Look, I am not saying we don’t get paid and purely take these claims on from the goodness of hearts (well sometimes we do) – We do get paid but by the other insurers if we win your claim – the way personal injury claim system works in the UK means we get paid by the other insurers if we win your claim…
So any Injury Solicitor worth his or her salt will be happy to take on a claim on a “No Win No Fee ” which means if they don’t win then they don’t get paid and if they win they recover your legal fees from the other insurer NOT from you…so you get 100% compensation.
If your Solicitor isn’t happy to take the claim on a “No Win No Fee” then my advice is to get some advice from another injury lawyer, because if an Injury Lawyer ain’t going to back you & put “there money where there mouth is” then should they really be taking a case on and charging you all that money, if they ain’t damn sure you are going to win.
That’s why at The Injury Lawyers we always make sure that if we take your case on then we back you all the way!
