When the victim of a personal injury for which someone else was wholly or partly to blame is feeling recovered sufficiently to think about the consequences of the accident, they may well consider legal means of obtaining recompense, such as consulting a no win, no fee solicitor.
In normal circumstances, most people only visit a legal firm when they are buying a home and need residential conveyancing services, when they want to write a will or if they are involved in a case which is likely to go to court.
In those circumstances, they may choose a specialist solicitor who they or someone they know has used, they may pick a legal practice with a convenient office or they may consult the official regulatory body, The Law Society.
Law firms vary in size, ranging from a one-man band to national partnerships, and some will have specialisations while others will cover the whole field of legal work.
Most practices will have at least one partner who deals with personal injury and similar cases, but before they proceed potential clients need to check if they will be advised by a no win no fee solicitor. Most lawyers are happy to offer free initial advice before formally taking on a case.
At such a meeting, the solicitor will want to know details of how the personal injury occurred such as the date and place and if there were witnesses to confirm the circumstances.
Although further medical evidence will be collected later, a summary of the injuries, treatment and possible long-term effects will need to be discussed.
If the victim is likely to want to claim compensation for loss of earnings, evidence of employment and wages may be required, as will be details of other financial consequences.
Supporting documents or photographs, which show aspects such as the victim's physical health before the accident and records of other accidents at the site, could also be useful.
Once the personal injury solicitor has considered all the information, he should be able to advise on the chances of success, how the case would proceed if the claimant wants to take action, the possible amount of a compensation claim and whether any charges would be involved.
Sometimes, where there is a conditional fee arrangement, the claimant will take out an insurance policy to cover any other expenses.
