7 Reasons Why You Should Change Your Accident Claim Solicitor

Wednesday August 10, 2011 at 7:20am

1. Are you frustrated by your current solicitor’s failure to progress your accident injury claim?

2. Is your solicitor being rude and condescending to you?

3. Is your lawyer forcing you to accept a medical report you consider to be inaccurate and unbalanced?

4. Is your solicitor asking you to pay his fees or disbursements upfront?

5. Is your solicitor forcing you to accept compensation lower than what you believe to be the true value of your claim?

6. Is your solicitor being pushed around by the lawyers representing the defendant’s insurance company?

7. Is your solicitor too busy to meet with you to discuss your case?

You have every right to change solicitors at any time if you are not satisfied with the level of service you are being provided.

Changing solicitors is simple. All you have to do is to consult another personal injury lawyer and ask him whether he would be happy to take over your claim.

Once the new solicitor is satisfied that you might have a good claim, he will send you a one page form for you to sign to authorise him to obtain your file and documents from your previous solicitors. Your former lawyers will release your file to your new solicitors.

A good personal injury solicitor will not charge you for consultation about changing solicitors. When he receives your file from your former solicitors, he will consider your case in detail and advise you the best way to move your injury claim forward.

A professional injury lawyer will first and foremost assess the chances of your claim being successful and will also consider its potential value.

A good accident claims lawyer should be able to tell you the bad news as well as the good. If the chances of your claim succeeding are very low or the value of the claim is likely to be below £1000, your lawyer should tell you openly. That way your solicitor will not give you false hopes.

Good personal injury solicitors accept cases on a “no win no fee” basis. They are polite, understanding and caring. A true professional is patient, will listen to you and take your views into account including your concerns about a medical expert.

A professional personal injury lawyer will protect your interests and fight your corner to ensure that you receive full compensation.

You deserve an injury lawyer who will see to it that you are fully compensated for any pain and loss sustained. To get a good accident claims solicitor, contact Balinda and Co now on 0800 321 3287 and find out how we can help.
