A personal injury solicitor is on your side, not someone to be feared
Some people, after receiving a personal injury, choose not to contact a personal injury solicitor to help them make the compensation claim that they may be entitled to. Why should this be?
Sometimes it can be because they fear the complexity of the law. While there is no way to pretend that the law is not complex, a good personal injury solicitor will ensure that the law as it applies to your case is explained so as to straighten out as many of the problems as possible.
As all legal firms that YouClaim works with are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, you can be sure that you will get the best possible representation so you do not have to worry about the legal details.
Sometimes people fear that others would think less of them for using the services of a personal injury solicitor, rather than just bearing up'. The truth is that frivolous claims are much less common in the UK than some newspapers would have their readers believe, and that bearing up can involve a great deal of actual expenditure and lost income.
Even so, some people may suggest that they do not deserve compensation still, believing that the fault does not lie entirely on one side of the accident. However, as long as the injury is not wholly the claimant's fault, there may still be a settlement due, and the best person to discuss that with would be a personal injury solicitor.
Some worry that the claim will hurt the people that it is being made against, particularly where this is a friend or an employer that they feel great loyalty to. This is admirable, but misguided, in that the claim will almost certainly be covered by the insurance company, not the friend or employer.
A final worry can be expense. While this can be true of some personal injury claim companies, at YouClaim, a claimant is protected from expense by a no win, no fee agreement and a 100% compensation promise. This means that, whether a claim is successful or not, there are no fees, costs or deductions for any personal injury case YouClaim takes on. The only exception to this may be in some complex medical negligence cases, where alternative methods of funding will be discussed.
