The Injury Lawyers 100% Compensation Offer
January – always a bit of a tight month after the big spend over Christmas and blowing a load more money in the after-Christmas sales! Add that to the fact most people are on a bit of a comedown after time off work over the festive period with friends and family, and we have a fairly unhappy population!
So here’s something to cheer you up – if you have had an accident and you have been thinking of making a claim, you may already be aware that last year there were loads of changes brought in by the government which have stopped lawyers being able to offer 100% compensation agreements.
But as a belated Christmas prezzie for you, we can still offer you a 100% compensation agreement! The law changes have stopped solicitors recovering something called a Success Fee and an After The Event insurance premium from the opponent. We can still recover our other fees so we don’t have to charge you!

Passenger in an Accident where Driver Loses Control but no Collision – can I still Claim?
Generally speaking, as a passenger in an accident, you have an almost guaranteed claim unless you were somehow to blame. In the vast majority of circumstances there isn’t anything you could have done to have prevented or contributed towards an accident as a passenger.
But can you still claim if the driver loses control of the vehicle but regains control and avoids a collision? Can you still claim if the swerving of the vehicle or the vehicle coming to a sudden stop has injured you?

Whiplash Claims this Christmas
There’s nothing worse than being injured in general; but it’s worse when it’s over the festive period when we are meant to be enjoying ourselves instead of moping about with a stiff neck, shoulders and back.
Whiplash can be a lot more complicated than most people think. It’s not the stereotyped injury that people often see it as – ask any whiplash sufferer and they should be able to tell you that it’s actually quite painful and debilitating.

100% Compensation – Merry Christmas from The Injury Lawyers!
It’s been a huge year for changes in the personal injury claiming world as the government have reigned down a torrent of reforms and changes that have, in reality, hit the victims in the pocket.

But fear not! Because we knew this day was going to come, and we’ve been preparing for it for years. So if you’re feeling a little down because you want to claim but you’re facing losing up to 25% of your payout from other solicitors, we have just the stocking filler for you this Christmas!
We still offer 100% compensation for most compensation claims!
Let’s take a look at the changes and how we have uniquely reacted to them:

Taxi passenger accident compensation claims
If you have an accident in a collision and you are a passenger in a taxi that was involved, you pretty much have a guaranteed claim for personal injury compensation. If there is a collision, then there should be someone at fault and as such you should be able to make a claim against the driver at fault.
Whether this is the taxi driver or another driver, or even if the blame is split between them, you can still make a full claim for personal injury compensation.
Now, the Christmas season often involves a lot of drinking! So the nights are set to be busy and hopefully people will refrain from drink driving and will use a taxi service. So we are expecting a few calls from people who have been injured in taxi accidents over the festive period!

Severe Weather Set to Grind UK to a Standstill
We’re being warned (again) that roads will be dangerous, trains and flights will be delayed or cancelled, and anyone wanting to get away for Christmas may find themselves stranded.
Severe wind and rain is set to hit the UK today right in time for the Christmas getaway and our team here at The Injury Lawyers are expecting floods of calls for people wanting to make a claim for personal injury compensation as a result of the adverse weather.
Now, pursuing a claim against the weather itself isn’t really feasible! But you can make a claim for personal injury compensation if someone is at fault because they have neglected to take extra care given the severe weather.
