What to look for in motor accident claim advice

If you are not used to dealing with lawyers, you may not be sure what to look for in good motor accident claim advice. By definition, it is something that you will only have to consider when you are in pain or discomfort, and when you are recovering from a stressful, possibly even traumatic, experience. You may not be in the right frame of mind to make a list of firms that you are considering. It could be something that you put off for weeks.

So here are a few tips about what to bear in mind when choosing your legal adviser.

Is the lawyer an expert in their field?

Given that your personal injury lawyer will have your financial security in his hands, you need to be certain that he knows what he is doing ,and is capable of giving good motor accident claim advice. At Maximum Compensation, we are only too aware of this fact. Accordingly, we only include personal injury specialists on our panel of lawyers.

Cost

These days most personal injury lawyers operate on a no win no fee basis. But you need to be careful about reading the whole fee agreement before you sign up to it. Firstly, ask yourself whether the firm wants any money from you for upfront expenses like medical fees or court administration costs. If they do, walk away. Maximum Compensation would never ask for such sums. We appreciate that cash flow is a real issue for most people, especially in a challenging economic climate. Accordingly, we pay for these sums ourselves, and recover them from the person who was responsible for the road traffic accident. We believe that the claimant should not have to pay for their motor accident claim advice at any stage of the process, because you are the one who has suffered from the accident.

The same issue applies about success fees. Success fees are a type of bonus that some firms of lawyers award themselves. The trouble is that they award themselves this bonus by deducting it from your cheque for compensation. Accordingly, unless you wish to donate this extra sum to your legal team, do not agree to it in a fee agreement for motor accident claim advice.

Is the lawyer or legal team contactable to me?

At Maximum Compensation, you can be sure that the person who is giving you your motor accident claim advice will be readily available to speak to you by phone, email or in a letter at a time that is convenient to you. We do not adopt the standoffish approach that some lawyers take. Instead, we want to engage fully with our personal accident claim clients. We are happy to answer any questions that you have at any stage of the process.
