100% Compensation Claims with The Injury Lawyers

In April 2013, the government stopped lawyers being able to recover all of their fees from the other side. They did this because they think that an accident victim should have more of an “interest” in their claim. We think it’s unfair – why should the victim lose some of their compensation that is meant to be recovered to compensate them for what’s happened in the first place!?

Now, other law firms are deducting up to 25% from their clients compensation payout to cover something called a Success Fee which is no longer recoverable. 25% is the maximum they can take from you.

Coccyx Injury Compensation Advice

The coccyx, also known as the tailbone, can cause a lot of pain and discomfort when injured. It can very easily be injured from falling down and landing on your back or your buttocks. The pain, sometimes referred to as coccydynia, can last for a number of weeks or months and unfortunately there isn’t a great deal that can be done, or will be done, about it.

The NHS will normally just treat a coccyx injury with pain medication. You can’t really have any kind of physiotherapy in the area either, so it really is a waiting game. It can cause a lot of pain when sitting down or moving around so it’s common for most people to have lengthy periods off of work when suffering with a coccyx injury.

How to Compare Personal Injury Lawyers – Who is the Best?

If you’d have asked me this 12 months ago, I would have explained to you that it’s all about making sure your solicitor goes the extra mile when it comes to the service that they offer. But since the government changed the law in April 2013, it’s now more of a case of which lawyers is the cheapest!

Nowadays it’s somewhat of a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow to find a lawyer prepared to find your claim on the basis that you keep all 100% of your compensation if you win. This is because our government decided that victims of negligence should have to pay to claim when they stopped lawyers being able to recover all of their fees from the other side.

Can you get Compensation for Minor Injuries?

In short the answer is “yes, you can claim compensation for minor injuries.”

Unfortunately in law it is never quite so simple. By that I mean that different law firms may have different criteria that need to be met for that law firm to take your case forward. In theory you can claim compensation for very minor injuries, however if your pain and suffering was for a day or a week or for say, less than a month, then the value of your claim may be less than £1,000. This ultimately may mean that a law firm cannot act for you in your case as a law firm may not be able to recover legal fees if the claim is worth less than £1,000. This is the reason why a firm may not take such a case forward. However this does not necessarily mean that you cannot claim; you may have a small claim which you can bring yourself, for example.

Road Work / Street Work Accident Compensation Claims

Areas being worked on by local authorities or maintenance agencies can always be dangerous. Holes in the ground could be a serious hazard, as well as exposed cables or bits of concrete and / or building materials, being a tripping hazard.

Generally the people doing the work will deploy cordons and cones to prevent people inadvertently accessing those areas and injuries themselves; which brings me on to the most common types of accident claims involving road or street works.
