Injury Solicitors: The Right Way To Seek Injury Compensation

By Niall Tunney


In the days and weeks after your accident, you may start to wonder if you can obtain injury compensation. You may have read articles in the media about people obtaining large payments after being injured. Could you obtain that kind of compensation? It's certainly possible with the right injury solicitors advising you. But what questions should you ask before you hire a solicitor?
Working with solicitors can be extremely expensive, so it's vital that you find out up front how your solicitor will bill you. For injury compensation cases, the no fee, no win approach is often the best especially for those with limited expertise and resources to hire a solicitor. Contrast that approach to the traditional billable hour approach where your solicitor's fee can quickly get out of hand. Be absolutely clear with a solicitor on their billing practices before you hire them.

In some cases, you can request (and receive) advance compensation from injury solicitors. How does this work? Before providing advance compensation, the solicitor will meet with you and evaluate your case. If your case stands a good chance of winning and meets other criteria, you can receive an advance payment - some firms offer up to 1000 to clients. What would you do with that kind of money? It's up to you - it could provide some much needed leisure, cover car repairs or other expenses.

A solicitor's experience and past successes offer one of the best indications of whether they will be able to help you. Before hiring a solicitor, read any testimonials you can find from past clients. In particular, look for clients who have an injury compensation case similar to yours. You can also ask to speak to a few past clients who may be willing to share their experience. By learning how a solicitor handles cases, how promptly they return phone calls and so on, you will be able to determine if they have the right experience to advise you.<
