FAQs
Can I get 100% No Win, No Fee?
If your claim is not successful, our No Win, No Fee policy covers 100% of your legal fees. This takes the financial risk out of making a claim.
How do you select the best no win no fee personal injury solicitor to represent you?
Compensation for a claim can take months (possibly years in cases of serious injury) to be agreed. The SRA are responsible for regulating legal advice given by all solicitors, but they do not regulate many issues that matter to people affected by injury, such as quality of service or speed of communication.
Your lawyer should be someone you are able to rely on throughout the claims process to provide both legal guidance and practical advice.
What should be considered when comparing Alsager solicitor reviews?
Solicitors have a wide range of approaches to handling cases and clients, from formal and traditional to more casual and friendly. Reviews for personal injury law firms are a great resource to compare the approach offered by different firms.
Once a settlement has been agreed, solicitors working on a no win no fee basis will usually charge a success fee and ATE insurance premium. For example, deductions from a claimant's compensation for ankle injuries causing some permanent problems could vary between ?11,110 and ?21,505 (based on 2015 market research).
The key issue to be aware of is how much of your compensation will be taken to cover these fees.
Do you have to choose a personal injury solicitor in Alsager?
The majority of large firms operate nationwide, allowing claimants to make a choice based on factors including level of success fees charged and quality of service.
For the majority of claims, the only aspect that does require a local service is the medical exam. This exam provides necessary medical evidence to support your claim, and is carried out in partnership with a member of our national network of medical professionals.
Wherever your solicitor is based, they will arrange for a local medical expert to carry out the exam.
