Runcorn Car Accident Claims Solicitors – No Win No Fee Claims Guide

By Mary Hightown. Last Updated 1st November 2022. Have you recently been involved in a car accident or road traffic accident in Runcorn, Cheshire, that was not your fault? If you were injured because of this accident, you could make a road traffic accident compensation claim. Whilst there is not an “average amount of compensation for a road traffic accident” some claims can be worth thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds, depending on the severity of the injuries. If you are awarded compensation, your settlement will compensate you for the pain and suffering you have endured as a result of your accident. It will also compensate you for the costs of any medical treatment you need as a result of your accident.

Call Legal Expert today on 0800 073 8804 for your free, no-obligation consultation. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Have Your Medical Assessment In The Cheshire Area

The first step to making a road traffic accident claim is to have a medical assessment of your injuries. If you make a claim with Legal Expert we will arrange for you to be assessed by a reliable private doctor in the Cheshire area, at a time and place which is most convenient to you. Whilst assessments generally take place at the addresses indicated below, it may be possible to have an assessment at home if necessary.

Conference Centre,
The Heath Business & Technical Centre
Runcorn

During your medical assessment, your doctor will assess your injuries, what treatment you will need going forward, and how your injuries will affect your quality of life. Your doctor will create a medical report based on these findings. The personal injury lawyer will use this to value how much your car crash compensation payout will be worth, as well as using it as evidence of your injuries. 

Runcorn Solicitors – How To Find The Best Solicitors

If you’ve been injured in a Runcorn accident, you may think that you must then be restricted to choosing Runcorn solicitors to represent you. However, you should not restrict yourself to solicitors in Runcorn but should instead seek out the best solicitors for your case.

If local solicitors near you do not have experience in successfully handling cases like yours, you could benefit from seeking further afield. A solicitor from anywhere in the country could help you with a claim via phone calls and video calls. If you do wish to meet your solicitor face to face, this could also be arranged.

Legal Expert’s solicitors have years of experience in various types of injury claims. Get in touch now to find out more.

Are Online Reviews Helpful When Choosing A Solicitor In Runcorn?

Many people who are looking to claim compensation for a road traffic accident search online reviews to see which solicitor’s firm is the best car accident claims company in their area.

Does The Location Of My Solicitor Affect My Claim?

It’s a common misconception that if you live in Runcorn, you have to hire a personal injury solicitor in Runcorn, or the surrounding Cheshire area. Whilst the location of your solicitor is one important factor, others are more important. Does the solicitor have a track record of winning road traffic accident claims that are similar to yours? Do they offer a no win no fee option? How experienced are they overall? These are all important factors you should prioritise over location. In fact, in the modern age where you can keep in close contact with anyone anywhere in Britain via many different methods of communications it’s easy to be consulted by and stay in close contact with your personal injury solicitor, no matter where they are based.
