Dereham Personal Injury Solicitors No Win No Fee

Updated: Sunday, 14th August 2016

Whether you are based in Dereham or anywhere else in the UK, our solicitors can assist with your claim and we will arrange a medical assessment at a medical centre near you.

Making a personal injury claim

Claims for personal injury compensation must, in the majority of cases, be made within three years of the date the accident occurred or you learned of the injury.

Considerable legislation is in place to support people seeking compensation, and our network of injury solicitors have years of experience advising their clients on the strength of their claims.

In order to successfully win an injury claim, your solicitor must demonstrate that the Defendant owed you a duty of care, that this duty of care was breached by the Defendant, and the breach was the cause of your injury.

Your lawyer can take you through each of these issues and will look at how they apply in your case.

What to consider when selecting the best injury lawyer

Usually a compensation claim can take months to agree a settlement. In cases of serious injury, some claims can take over a year. All solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), but the level of service offered by different firms varies.

Considering the effect your legal representative can have on your life and your recovery, choosing a lawyer that meets your needs is a crucial first step.

Does the location of the personal injury solicitor matter?

As with many professional services, you do not need to instruct a personal injury solicitor near you.

Medicals will usually need to be conducted locally. Quittance's national network of medical professionals will assist with this critical stage of the claims process.

Wherever your solicitor is based, they will arrange for a local medical expert to carry out the exam.

The disparity in the level of success fees between different solicitors working on CFAs (Conditional Fee Agreement) is significant.

For example the amount of financial compensation retained by a Claimant agreeing on a settlement of £67,656 for lung cancer could conceivably vary from £40,594 to £57,508.
