It’s common for people to feel a little anxious about starting a claim for personal injury compensation for many reasons. The common ones when it comes to slips, trips, and falls in a supermarket that people often raise are:
- Is it right to claim for a “stereotypical” fall in a supermarket? I don’t want to be seen as part of the “claims culture!”
- What if I lose – will I get stung with huge lawyer’s fees?
- If I win how much of my compensation will I see if my lawyer takes a huge part of it?
- Is it even worth the hassle?
- Will I win against a giant corporation? The little guy never wins in these battles!
Well luckily for you, our unique way of working here at The Injury Lawyers mean that we can address and resolve all of the above common concerns. Here’s how:
It’s Your Right to Claim – And the Supermarket Is Insured
It is your human right to make a claim for personal injury compensation, which is why legislation exists that allows you to do so. You have been injured, it’s not your fault, you’re in pain, and you may be losing money. Why should you suffer because of someone else’s negligence?
Supermarkets have public liability insurance for the purposes of people making a claim from it when needed. Insurance is there to insure people – it’s there to use. All you are doing is claiming what is rightfully yours from the insurance that exists for you to claim from. It’s nothing personal.
Will You be Charged?
I can’t talk for all lawyers, but I can tell you about our unique and genuine No Win, No Fee agreement. Since the April 1st legal reforms, most lawyers are now deducting 25% from their clients payout. But you can rest assured we can still give you 100% of your payout. So long as you comply with our agreement, we agree to waive the percentage charge that other law firms are deducing from their clients. For more info on the changes see here.
The No Win, No Fee does exactly what it says on the tin. If the claim loses, we can waive our legal fees so you don’t end up paying anything at all. We agree to do this if we think we have a good enough chance of winning the claim. So it’s up to us to take the risk of the case in to account, and if we feel we can win it, we will put a No Win, No Fee guarantee in place. If we didn’t think we could win, we wouldn’t offer it to you.
It is Hard to Claim? Will You Win?
Our service agreement means that we take most of the hassle out of making a claim for compensation. In the majority of straightforward claims, all you need to do is attend any medical appointments arranged (including for physio to help you to get better) and provide us with information about losses and make sure you give us instructions when we need them. We do all the leg work so you don’t have to.
As for winning, I cannot tell you whether your claim will win as I am, unfortunately, not psychically gifted! But I can tell you that we have won many claims against supermarkets and there isn’t anything to be afraid of! You have rights – and we’re here to fight for them!
It’s all about having the right frame of mind. So give us a call and we can have a free, no obligation chat about your options.
