Your guide to determine a good personal injury solicitor
If
you have been involved in an accident and suffered a personal injury,
how do you know which personal injury solicitor is going to do the
best job for you?
Carry on reading below to find out.
Choose
A Personal Injury Solicitor
If we start with what seems an obvious point, make sure that you
do choose a personal injury solicitor.
A solicitor is a recognised qualification following rigorous training
and final examinations. Many people deal with personal injury claims
but have no formal qualifications. Therefore, it is important to
check that you are dealing with a personal injury solicitor.
Additional
Qualifications
If you are looking for a specialist personal injury solicitor with
many years experience, they should also be members of the Law Society's
Personal Injury Panel. To achieve this qualification the solicitor
must show competence in the field of personal injury law, but also
must have handled a good number of claims that have gone to trial.
There is no substitute for experience, and being a member of the
Personal Injury Panel proves experience.
Membership
of Professional Organisations
If you have been involved in a road accident you can look for a
solicitor who is a member of The Motor Accident Solicitors Society
(MASS for short). This is a not for profit organisation that campaigns
for the rights of accident victims.
The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) is another membership
organisation for personal injury solicitors.
Will
You Keep Your Compensation?
A specialist personal injury solicitor will usually ensure that
you will keep all of your compensation if you win your claim and
that you pay nothing to pursue your claim. Therefore, ensure that
you will be able to keep all of your compensation and that you will
pay no fees if your claim is not successful.
Finally
Ensure that you can communicate with the solicitor. They should
not intimidate or worry you. If they do, choose another one as you
will be dealing with them for some time. It is important that you
are not afraid to pick up the telephone if you are concerned about
any aspect of your claim.
