Third Party Capture is when an insurer deals directly with a claim against their policy holder, rather than the other party involved bringing in a lawyer. This allows them to compensate you with an amount that is acceptable to them.
Is this the best way?
Although Third Party Capture may seem like the fastest way to sort out your compensation claim, it’s also the most unreliable. Because you’re leaving it to the other party’s insurer to sort out your compensation claim, there is no one fighting in your corner to ensure you get the amount you deserve. If you’re not familiar with the area of injury law then you won’t have any idea to whether the amount you’re being offered is too little.
From our experience at the Injury Lawyers, third party capture claims are normally settled at £1000, and in some cases they will offer to pay any loss of earnings you have suffered. However, if you were to go against the idea of third party capture and choose an independent law firm such as The Injury Lawyers then the standard injury claim is worth around £2500.
Why choose us?
If you do choose an independent lawyer you will probably receive more compensation than you would by going with third party capture. The Injury lawyers will fight on your behalf to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
We know that an injury claim can’t just be assessed overnight, especially a whiplash injury claim. To ensure you get the best of the best we will spend time looking over medical reports to show how severely the injury has affected yours and your family’s life.
Instead of going with the flow and letting the opposing party tell you how much they think your claim is worth, take charge and choose an independent lawyer to handle it for you. Think of it this way, the other party are going to try and settle with the smallest amount possible. It is important you have someone fighting your corner to make sure you aren’t simply been paid off.
