Making A Personal Injury Claim In Wakefield
The UK has a considerable amount of Health and Safety legislation. Statutes such as the Health and Safety Act have been designed to provide a protective framework in which people are protected, whether they are employees or members of the public. At Legal Expert, our panel of solicitors has a wealth of experience in helping to advise clients on how likely their claim is to succeed.
Generally, personal injury claims need to be brought within three years of the initial accident. However, some injuries may take years to surface and can be triggered by an accident that happened many years before this time frame. In these cases, the date of diagnosis is the starting date for your three-year claims period.
Successful Compensation Claims
In order to bring a successful compensation claims case, your solicitors will need to show that the defendant owed you a duty of care. This could be as an employer, or as the owner of a shop or even a medical professional. Solicitors will also need to show this duty of care was breached in some way, and that this caused the accident leading to your illness or injury. At the beginning of your claim, your solicitor will gather evidence to support this.
How To Find The Best Personal Injury Solicitor for Your Claims Case
Personal Injury compensation claims cases can be complex and difficult. As such, they can often take months or even years to complete. The more severe your injuries or complicated the accident, illness or medical negligence which led to your injury, the longer it can take to process a claim. As such, you need to find a solicitor you can work with.
All personal injury solicitors in Wakefield are regulated by a body known as the Solicitors Regulation Authority, or the SRA. However, within this their level of service can greatly differ. As your solicitor can play a vital role in getting your life back on track and recovering any financial losses, it is very important to choose the right solicitors.
Read Reviews Of Personal Injury Solicitors In Wakefield
Reading online reviews can help you to choose the right product or service when you are unfamiliar with a topic. Reading reviews can give you a better idea of what to expect, as well as the level and range of services on offer in Wakefield. There can sometimes also be a disparity in the level of compensation different firms have been able to recover for the same injury. As such there are also disparities in the fees charged.
However, whilst reviews can help you a lot, they are not a replacement for making a call and talking directly to personal injury solicitors in Wakefield to discuss your case.
Does It Matter Where Your Solicitor Is Located?
Personal injury claimants in the UK are not restricted to using solicitors or law firms based in their local area, or the area where the accident happened. Claimants are free to choose a Wakefield personal injury solicitor based on criteria such as; their success, their fee, and the services they offer.
For most claimants, the only part of their personal injury claim case which will need to be carried out locally are any medical examinations and treatments you need.

No Win No Fee Solicitors In Wakefield
Solicitors offering a No Win No Fee service will use what is called a ‘Conditional Fee Agreement’. This sets out what the solicitor will do for the claimant, how their case will proceed and how they will be paid. It will lay out the fees payable in a successful case, as well as the fact that the claimant won’t have to make any upfront payments. As suggested by the name, it also means that the injured party will not be required to cover their solicitor’s costs should the case be unsuccessful.
Do You Have To Pay Any Fees?
Some solicitors may charge a claimant an extra fee if they lose your case. However, the solicitors we work with at Legal Expert offer a totally No Win No Fee service.
Some people may try to avoid fees altogether by representing themselves during their claim. This is not advisable, as if your case is unsuccessful then you could be obligated to pay expensive legal fees with no compensation to help you financially.
