Do I Keep 100% of My Compensation?
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.

Car Pulling out of Driveway Claims – Injury Lawyers Advice
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.

Is it Normal to Have to Pay for a Compensation Claim?
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.

Accident at Work? Get 110% Compensation!

Tripped on an Uneven Drain Cover? Make a claim today!
As a firm of lawyers who only represent victims for accident claims, we take on a significant amount of claims for personal injury compensation involving drain and manhole covers. It’s fairly obvious to see why – many covers don’t appear to be of sound constructions, and many are driven over day in and day out by vehicles.
It’s common for covers to become tripping hazards when they either come loose and protrude, or sink down and cause a lip. To the unsuspecting walker, tripping and landing hard on the ground can cause some serious injuries.

50–50 Claim for a Car Accident
In most road accidents, there is someone fully to blame. But every now and then, a genuine accident happens where both vehicles have been partly to blame. In these circumstances, parties may agree to split liability evenly between them.
An example of this could be a car park accident where two people pull out of a space at the same time but driving in opposite directions and bumping in to each other. Another could be two vehicles changing lanes at the same time and crashing in to each other.
So if this happens, can you make a claim for personal injury compensation?
