Road Accidents
This is what the President of Her Majesty’s Association of District Judges wrote in a respected legal journal not long ago……
Not all whiplash injuries in car crashes are minor!
“A large volume of fast track road traffic cases is now handled remotely with the solicitors office possibly hundreds of miles from where the client lives. There is nothing intrinsically wrong in that,provided the service provided is satisfactory.But time after time,judges see litigants in court whether claimant or defendant,who have no idea of what is going on,and have not been properly advised about what to expect.
Usually they will be represented by Counsel and he or she will be the first lawyer they have engaged with since the litigation began…….surely doing high volume work using low grade fee earners should not mean selling the clients short by sloppy preparation.”
We are seeing now that much more frequently, people who are at their most vulnerable getting calls from insurance companies and then their “panel” solicitors or worse just letters offering derisory settlements. Why? Well settling the claim fast is invariably cheap for an insurer and they know that without expert advice you may not be paid all that you are entitled to. Do not let that happen to you. Call us on 01623-821531 and do not let an insult be added on to the injury!
CAUTION DO REMEMBER – You do not have to accept the solicitors the insurers encourage you to go to & certainly do seek advice on offers you get in writing if your not represented by a solicitor,you could lose more than you think you gain!
