Whiplash claim – should I take second offer?
Top Tip! Solicitors can get up to four times more!
So you have a whiplash claim and you have rejected or countered the first offer from the insurers, and now you have a new offer that (I hope!) is better than the first one. Should you accept it?
An insurer can make an offer at anytime during a claim, and it is the important role of your solicitor to correctly advise you as to whether an offer from the other side should be accepted or rejected. So it all depends on the amount of the offer – read on for more info.
10% Increase in Injury Compensation
110% Compensation with The Injury Lawyers!
April 2013 saw a lot of government legal reforms which have rocked the personal injury claiming world to its very core, and largely left the victims more worse off than they have ever been in the history of injury claims. We’ve known its coming for a while, and the government have caved to pressures from the multi-billion pound insurance industry to reduce the burden of legal costs to the defending parties.
But compensation in general has been increased by 10% to offset the changes victims are now suffering from – so here is an insight in to the overall picture of what’s happened.
Also known as No Win, No Fee – this means that a solicitor should not charge you if a claim doesn’t win. This isn’t technically anything to do with 100% compensation as an agreement for funding should encompass both scenarios of winning and losing as separate things; but a No Win, No Fee agreement is the common name used for a Conditional Fee Agreement which outlines what you pay whether the claim wins or loses.
100% Compensation for Council Claims
Council claims can be risky – and thanks to government law changes that happened in April 2013, lawyers are not allowed to recover the same level of fees we used to be able to. The result is that other lawyers will now want to deduct up to 25% from your compensation to cover their Success Fee which is designed to help offset the cases we take on and cannot win.
But we can still offer you a 100% compensation agreement for a council claim. So read on for more info!
Medical Negligence – GP Failure to Refer or Take Action
100% compensation for medical negligence claims
When we feel we have a medical problem, our first point of call is, rightly so, our GP. You’d expect to be able to visit your GP and either get the reassurance and advice that you have nothing to worry about and your problem can be easily resolved, or you’d expect a referral to an expert.
We all know that the NHS is stretched, and the waiting times to see GP’s are long; but what we don’t expect is to be let down by our GP’s resulting in further complications or unnecessary suffering.
So what happens if your GP fails to take proper action, fails to refer you, or fails to properly diagnose you for a long period of time? Do you have any rights if this causes further unnecessary suffering?

Best Injury Lawyers for Claims in the UK

So you’ve had an accident and you think you are owed compensation – who do you make your claim for personal injury compensation with?

Can you get 100% compensation anymore?
From other lawyers, probably not! But from The Injury Lawyers, you still can!
Have you noticed that solicitors aren’t offering 100% compensation agreements anymore?

What’s happened is the law has changed – so here’s what you need to know about it!
Can I make a No Win, No Fee Claim?
A No Win, No Fee agreement should mean that you will not have to pay any legal fees to your lawyer if they take your case on and they are unable to secure a successful conclusion. The point of this is that you shouldn’t be at risk of losing thousands of pounds by making a claim that may not win.
Sometimes it’s just too difficult to know if you can win unless we go ahead and pursue the claim! So when can you make a No Win, No Fee claim?
