What are the benefits of using a personal injury solicitor?

Chippenham personal injury solicitors

The process begins therefore with your personal injury solicitor confirming the eligibility of your case. In most instances this can be done in the space of a simple phone call to Legal Expert so if you are wondering whether you have a personal injury case, are looking for road traffic accident claims solicitors or in need of medical negligence advice then although you can spend time looking for personal injury solicitor reviews; it really is quicker, easier and simpler to pick up the phone and speak direct to a personal injury lawyer on our panel. Legal Expert will be proud to offer you the best personal injury lawyer panel who can advise you on the eligibility of your claim and begin to discuss the compensation figure your individual personal injury claim could hope to achieve.

With regard to compensation, you may be awarded 2 types of compensation which can be referred to as general damages and special damages. General damages relate to the compensation awarded specifically to the injury or work sickness such as pain, suffering and potential loss of future earnings. Special damages refer to actual financial loss that has been incurred by the accident/work sickness up to the point of the court hearing. Legal Expert will be able to advise you on the types of damage you are eligible to claim.

How the Legal Expert team can help you

The legal system supports those who have suffered a personal injury that was not their fault. Over 3 million accidents happen every year and many of these meet the legislation requirements for personal injury claims.

There are many Chippenham personal injury solicitors amongst the personal injury compensation specialist solicitors within the UK but quality standards can vary greatly. You will want a solicitor who offers best working practices and is experienced enough to know how to fight your corner in the most efficient way possible. For example; not many clients realise that a substantial amount of claims are settled without even going to court. Whether it’s a personal injury case due to a car crash claim, medical malpractice or clinical negligence etc often a settlement is reached between a Legal Expert personal injury lawyer and the defendant and this will obviously cut down on stress, time and money. Such negotiation requires not only experience but also honest and forthright communication and the ability to respect a client’s individual needs as well as knowing what can be realistically achieved within current legislation. A personal injury solicitor at Legal Expert has the experience to be able to take all these factors into account to direct your No Win No Fee claim through to a successful outcome.

Legal Expert is a company of experienced and professional No Win No Fee personal injury solicitors that cover any location within the UK.

As explained earlier the first step is to verify the eligibility of your claim. It is well worth giving Legal Expert a call even if your personal injury or work sickness happened years ago and this is because the law supports a 3 year window of claims made from diagnosis which can be a substantially more recent time than when the injury or sickness took place. If you have received a medical diagnosis within the last 3 years then please call us to speak to a No Win No Fee compensation specialist to discuss the eligibility of your claim.

Am I eligible to make a compensation claim?

As described; this is the first step of your injury claim journey.

In order to achieve a successful outcome to your claim; your Legal Expert solicitor must be able to determine:-

• That you were owed a duty to care for your health/wellbeing by the Defendant of the claim
• That they did not live up to this
• That this failure caused your injury/injuries or work sickness

Legal Expert advises clients to begin the claim process as soon as possible in order for your solicitor to begin gathering evidence at the earliest opportunity in order to support your claim.

One of the main reasons for this is the fact that there is usually a time limit in place for starting a personal injury claim. Under the Limitation Act 1980, the standard time limit for starting a claim is three years from when your accident took place. This time limit may be put on hold (at least temporarily), but only when the injured party is under the age of 18 or lacks the mental capacity to make decisions independently.

Do I need to use a personal injury solicitor to make a claim?

Many people may be initially tempted to use a personal injury compensation calculator online to try to calculate the potential award of their claim but this is a generic service and can only approximate what your compensation claim may be. The best way to proceed is to have your questions answered by Legal Expert who will discuss the specifics of your individual claim in order to provide you with much more accurate information and ballpark figures. This is because there could be additional factors that could decrease or increase your financial award such as the severity of your injuries/work sickness, time spent off work, future prospects etc.

There is no comparison for talking to Legal Expert and your initial phone call to us can take less time than using the kind of calculator talked about above. Please be reassured that the panel of solicitors we use are regulated by the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) so that you know you are in safe, professional hands from the very outset of your claim. They work within the framework of legislation set down by this governing body and combine this with best working practices and high service standards to offer you a consistent personal service from the very first telephone conversation through to the successful outcome of your claim.

Reading reviews helps to find the best solicitor for your

You can read personal injury solicitor reviews online or receive various recommendations from family and friends but you also need to do a little of your own homework on factors such as legal fees etc that may not be covered within these recommendations. Many clients are guilty as charged for forgetting that the fee charged by their solicitor can quite dramatically reduce the amount of the final compensation award they will achieve! Financial fees are therefore an important factor in your choice of best personal injury lawyer.

The discrepancy in fees charged by other solicitors is perhaps best illustrated by the example below:-

Legal Expert’s panel solicitors are proud to offer a transparent fee structure so you will know exactly where you stand and there will be no nasty surprises after your claim is settled!
