What Does A Personal Injury Solicitor Do?
Personal injury lawyers are solicitors, that specialise in helping people claim compensation, for harm that they have suffered due to the actions of a third party. The solicitor handles all of the preparation work for the claim, and then will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the defendant’s legal team. Furthermore, if an out of court settlement cannot be agreed, the solicitor will then handle the court case. During which, a decision will be made on whether compensation will be awarded, and how much.
Legal Expert is a specialist team of accident and injury lawyers who can help people to claim the compensation they are entitled to. To learn how we can do this for you, call us on the number at the end of this guide.
