SHOULD I CLAIM THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY?
The law firm your insurance company refer you to will charge you a success fee and will on most cases fast track your claim, this can result in a poor compensation settlement, the success fee will also be deducted from the final value of the claim. In some cases insurers may even make you an offer of compensation without you even attending a medical examination! This saves them costs on professional fees, and in most cases what you receive in compensation is not an accurate valuation of your claim.
Unlike some other firms all our solicitors are actual solicitors and not legal executives, your expert solicitor representing you will be local to yourself, you can meet them, and ask any questions you like.
Ask your insurer if their nominated solicitors can do that!
