How do you choose the best no win no fee personal injury lawyer to represent you?
It can take months for most minor injury claims to reach a settlement. Claims involving disputed liability or severe injury can take years in some circumstances. The SRA are responsible for regulating legal advice given by personal injury solicitors, but they are not required to monitor many issues that matter to people considering an injury claim, such as communication or speed.
Considering the effect your solicitor can have on your life, both during and after your recovery, finding a solicitor that meets your needs is a crucial first step.
Do I need to go with a local lawyer ?
The location of a solicitor is not especially relevant as cases are, as a matter of course, run by phone, post and email.
However, you should choose a law firm that offers national medical coverage as you will usually be expected to attend an independent medical examination.
