How to select the best No Win No Fee personal injury solicitor for you

The first step that you need to take with any type of compensation claim is to choose a lawyer who has experience of your claim type. Whilst it is true that all solicitors in the UK are regulated under the Solicitors Regulation Authority, not all solicitors operate to the same standards, so it is important to take care when choosing the most appropriate legal representation.

Does the location of your solicitor matter?

As a claimant, you are not limited to local firms and can choose your solicitor for a number of different reasons for example you may make your decision based on the success fee that they charge.

The only part of your personal injury claim that should need to be performed locally to you is an independent medical assessment. We work with medical professionals up and down the country. So, you won’t have to travel too far to have this carried out.

What compensation claims can you deal with?

At Legal Expert, we can assist with a variety of different claims for the Bournemouth area. These are a few ideas of the more common types of compensation claims that we handle:

Accidents in the workplace

Every employer has a legal obligation to make sure their employees are safe at work. They must take all reasonable steps to reduce hazards in the workplace. This is stated in the Health and Safety At Work etc. Act 1974.

This responsibility is known as their “duty of care”. If an employer violates this duty, then it’s known as negligence. This is when claims can be made.

Sometimes, the injuries caused by negligent behaviour on the behalf of the employer can be so extreme, that they result in the injured party losing their life. These are known as fatal accidents.

Slip, trip and fall accidents

According to recorded figures slips, trips and falls are the single most common cause of accidents that can lead to injuries in the workplace. Typically slips, trips and falls may lead to further accidents that fall into another category such as an object falling and hitting you, becoming trapped by something or even drowning accidents at the swimming pool.

Injuries like strained muscles that can be experienced as a result of a spillage, together with trips in the street are both quite common types of public liability legal claims.

Serious injury

At Legal Expert, we understand the impact that making a successful claim can have on your day to day living, we believe in making sure that you are compensated for all of the costs incurred as a result of your injury, as well as for the pain and suffering you have endured.

Road Accident Claims And The Whiplash Reform Programme

It’s also possible to be injured due to the negligence of other road users. A road traffic accident (RTA) can result in the injury of a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian. They all have a duty of care to one another. This responsibility is upheld by obeying the rules of the road as laid out in the Highway Code.

The government how now introduced a new way of making certain road traffic accident claims. If your accident took place after 31st May 2021, then you can use the online portal called the Whiplash Reform Programme. However, your claim can only be worth a maximum of £5,000 and you must have sustained your injury as the injury or passenger. Pedestrians and cyclists are not eligible to claim in this way.

Despite the name of the WRP, your injury does not have to be whiplash-related. It can be any injury sustained in an RTA up to the value of £5,000.

If you do not meet the requirements of the WRP, you will need to make a personal injury claim. If you call us today, we can offer you the guidance you require. It may even be worth checking the value of your claim with us first. It could be worth over £5,000 without your knowledge.
