Injured in an accident that was not your fault?

If you have suffered an injury in a car accident or work, what should you look for in a good accident claim solicitor? Read on to find out what questions you should answer before making your final decision.
  • Choose a specialist

If you have been injured you must make sure to choose an accident claim solicitor who is a specialist in winning these types of accident compensation. You need an accident solicitor who does nothing except their time to claim compensation injuries for accident victims injured in accidents. Do not choose a solicitor, who one day is pursuing a personal accidents injury claim, the next day a property matter and on the third day dealing with Wills. You need a solicitor who does nothing more than accident claims. This allows you to improve your chances of winning your Compensation.

  • Choose a Solicitor who you actually like.

Although this might not seem important, remember that the entire accident claim can take a couple of months or years to complete. You must be happy to talk regularly with your accident solicitors. Whereas many solicitors seem to enjoy being rude to their clients, this is no more. If you cannot find a solicitor who cannot build a relationship, change them.

  • Look for Good Feedback from previous Clients.

If you think you have found a good lawyer, the next thing to do is ask them to show the feedback from previous clients, or to display their testimonials on the website. If you cannot find at least ten of them, you really want to risk the instructions in this lawyer? Genuine feedback from others who have used the services of a lawyer should be trusted.

  • Are they actually a Solicitor?

A lot of claims are now dealt as paralegals to solicitors in london, especially in some large claims. However, it is still possible for your claim handled by a solicitor or a legal executive (similar to the level of qualification as a lawyer).

  • Will you keep all of your Compensation?

There is no reason you should lose the accident compensation to pay a portion of solicitor’s fees. Make sure you ask this question before you instruct a solicitor to help you.

  • Will it cost you anything to make an accident claim?

You do not have to pay any costs or expenses, the service should be free to use if you win (no win no fee), and so again make sure you ask this when you choose your own solicitor.

  • Do they have any external endorsement of their expertise?

If you want evidence of the external expertise of solicitor’s who members of the Law Society Personal Injury Panel are. To be admitted on to this group a solicitor will have to show many years' experience and that they have successfully dealt with many other accident claims.
Conclusion:
Use these questions to refine your search for the report of the accident lawyer.
