April 2013 – a dark time for the personal injury claiming world as the government in their infinite wisdom decided to stop lawyers being able to recover all legal fees from the other side. For years most victims of negligence were able to keep all 100% of their payout because all legal fees could be recovered from the opponent.

That’s fair, right? Why should the victim lose out on what is rightfully theirs?

But the world isn’t always fair, and the result of these changes has dawned a new age of personal injury claiming.

It’s a fairly common scenario – especially when people are in a rush, perhaps first thing in a morning, to get somewhere. So if you are driving along and another driver pulls out of a driveway and you crash in to them, who is at fault?

In the vast majority of instances, the other driver is 100% liable for the accident. The principle is similar to that of another driver pulling out of a side road when you are correctly travelling along a major road. The driver emerging from the driveway must give precedence to vehicles already travelling on the road.

April 2013 saw the biggest shake up of the personal injury compensation claiming world when our wonderful government decided to change years of access to justice and fairness by stopping the recovery of all legal fees from the opponent.

It isn’t fair – why should the victim have to pay to claim?

The result is that other lawyers are now taking up to 25% from your payout if you win the case. For the Success Fee, which is one of the unrecoverable fees, a lawyer can take up to a maximum of 25% from your payout to cover this. On top of that, lawyers are asking for payment of insurance as this is no longer recoverable.

For those of you that like to maintain a healthy lifestyle, jogging or running is a great way to achieve this. When you walk around you are not expected to look at the floor to watch out for hazards on the ground, and when you are jogging or running you are probably concentrating even less on the ground.

So what happens if you trip and fall or stumble because of a pothole or a raised paving stone, or some other defect on the ground? Can you still make a claim for personal injury even if you were jogging or running at the time?

Before you instruct a law firm, you need to know about the recent legal reforms that have led to lawyers now charging clients to make a claim for compensation. The reason for this is that the government have stopped the recovery of two legal fees – a Success Fee and an After The Event insurance premium.

Lawyers can now take up to 25% of a client’s compensation to cover their Success Fee which they cannot get from the other side. On top of this they are asking for payment of insurance.
