There are loads of law firms out there and loads of claims management services who will refer you to solicitors – and all of these firms want your business when you are the victim and have a valid claim for personal injury compensation. It’s a known fact that the choice you make when it comes to your lawyer can directly affect the outcome of your case in terms of success, costs, and payout.
So for serious accident claims this is even more important to understand because it could mean the difference between winning or losing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of pounds in compensation.
This is a ‘must read‘ guide.
How your lawyer can make the key difference
Not all lawyers are expert personal injury lawyers. Some are general law firms who deal with many areas of law and may not have as much particular experience with personal injury cases. Some law firms are not equipped for serious injury claims because they lack the specialist lawyers, experience, know-how, and important contacts.
So it’s important to grasp that the lawyer you choose may not be good enough to properly represent you for your serious accident claim.
Lawyer’s charges – the KEY differences
The law changed in April 2013 and the result is that law firms charge all sorts of varying things and its hard (in fact it’s sometimes extremely hard!) to get a grip of it all and know when you are getting a good deal.
The law changes mean that you cannot recover a success fee from the other side or the cost of an insurance policy known as ‘After The Event’ insurance. These are the common costs which also can vary in what law firm’s charge – so the key point for the moment is that if you are being charged anything in addition to the above, you’re probably paying too much!
One easy way to avoid additional charges is to go to a law firm direct. Cutting out the middlemen claims management firms and referral agencies means you don’t have to pay their fees AND you get to choose the law firm you want.
