Will you need to choose a local Carnoustie legal firm ?

The whereabouts of the firm is not particularly relevant as cases are normally managed without the need to meet the solicitor.

It is however necessary to go with a solicitors' firm that provides national medical coverage as claimants will almost always have to attend an independent medical examination.

Compensation is restricted by the expenses you have incurred and by set recommended 'general damages' depending on the nature of the injury. Your solicitor's experience can impact the level of damages negotiated. Get more information about how much you can claim.

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 elbow injuries causing some long term problems could vary between ?12,650 and ?25,850 (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.
