Accidents happen, and thats fact we cannot change. However, it doesnt mean that you should be robbed by solicitors waiting in the wings.
London, England - 8 March 2006 - Lets Be Fair
Ambulance chasers get a bad name, and rightfully so. Not because they chase ambulances, but because many in the industry trick their clients into signing contracts which load potential compensation winnings with underhand legal expenses.
So what to do I hear you ask? As with anything research the solicitor your using and ask the right questions.
- Do they have a track record in personal injury cases?
- How many cases have they won?
- Do they specialize in personal injury?
- Are they regulated by the Law Society?
When you are asked to sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), make sure that your solicitor is claiming their fees and expenses from the opponent and not from any personal injury compensation you are awarded. If the solicitor gives you any problems at this stage, you can remind them of the Access to Justice Act which allows them to claim all reasonable expenses from the other party
Another area of cost to be aware of is out of pocket expenses. Once again these should be recovered from the other party. However, the courts will only allow what they deem reasonable costs, and only if you win.
If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in any kind of personal injury, slip or trip, accident at work, road traffic accident or accident in a public place there are a few things you should be sure to do.
- Seek legal advice as soon as possible
- Take photographs if possible
- Record witness details
- Inform the police and obtain a report number
Claims are made possible by law to cushion us against expenses caused by accidents and should be pursued if you feel you have a case.
