In a time when the media complains of a “compensation culture” affecting Britain, individuals suffering a personal injury are sometimes hesitant to consult a personal injury lawyer. However if you have had an accident injury you may be entitled to compensation for the pain, suffering and financial loss that you have experienced. Making a successful claim can be complicated and it is very important to talk to an accredited personal injury solicitor about your options. In the article, leading accident lawyers discuss the way forward.
What to look for in a personal injury lawyer
Ruth Booy of personal injury law firm Kester Cunningham John emphasies the importance of seeking out a lawyer who specialises in injuries claims rather than simply visiting an high street solicitor.
Accident law firms exist in every locality, making your search for a lawyer easy, says personal injury lawyer Kelvin Farmaner (left) of Foot Anstey . Booy advises personal accident victims to use a lawyer who has expertise in the specific type of injury experienced. Ask your lawyer at your consultation whether the law firm has taken on a similar injury claim recently and what the outcome was, she says.
Good quality personal injury lawyers can be recognised by accreditation by either the Law Society Personal Injury Panel or the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers
