Want to know the difference between instructing any old law firm and instructing The Injury Lawyers for your claim? Well, when it comes to maximising your compensation settlement, this article will could be of real help to you.
In the past a lot of clients have transferred their case to us having been unhappy with the service offered by their previous firm and / or their valuation of the claim. Due to legal changes in April 2013 it is a lot harder to simply change lawyers now. So if you are considering what law firm to go with, this article is equally as important.
Our client came to us for help when his previous firm were suggesting that he could expect a settlement for his injuries in the region of £3,000. The client, having suffered quite badly, was not happy with this but his previous firm had made their decision. He came to us and we successfully took the case over.
We considered that more medical evidence was needed to substantiate the true value we could get out of our clients claim. We organised this and we organised for private treatment to aid the recovery of the injuries as well. We know a lot of other law firms do not go in to anywhere near the depth we do, which is why we are a trusted name in personal injury claiming.
Fast-forward to our client’s recent settlement where he has accepted an offer of just under £12,000. This is almost four times as much as his previous firm where prepared to consider – so how did we do this, and what advice is there on changing lawyers?
HOW and WHY we get you more
As our name suggests (i.e. THE Injury Lawyers) all we deal with are claims for personal injury. This means we are experts in our field, and having successfully recovered millions of pounds in compensation for our clients, and with our lawyers having decades of specialist experience in helping people claim for injuries, we have the right experience you need.
Some law firms run to tight budgets and will base the valuations of their client’s claims in very standardised ways and will often have junior or inexperienced members of staff making the decisions. Our way of working is different – we make sure that the valuations for our clients claims are thoroughly researched and considered, and our aim is always to maximise our clients claim.
We don’t just want to get rid of you with a quick settlement when you can get more – we want to fight to make sure you get more!
And over the years we have been helping people, we have taken over countless cases from other firms, and our helpline regularly receives calls from people asking for help who already have legal representation.
Why you must VERY carefully consider who you instruct now
It’s nowhere near as easy for us to take over a claim from another law firm now due to reforms that happened in April 2013. In fact it can result in significant costs to the victims because the government have severely restricted access to justice due to the nature of the reforms they have introduced.
So now, more than ever, you need to very carefully consider who you instruct for your case. It’s easy for us to say that you can come directly to us now and you know you’ll get a quality service and the maximum payout possible. But if you don’t, and you later realise that you have made a mistake, it may be too late for us to help you.
We got an award for our client that was FOUR times more than what his previous law firm thought the claim was worth. It speaks volumes!
