Personal Injury Solicitors
Your Guide To Choosing A Good Personal Injury Solicitor

If you have been involved in an accident and suffered a personal injury, how do you know which personal injury solicitor is going to do the best job for you?

Choose A Personal Injury Solicitor

If we start with what seems an obvious point, make sure that you do choose a personal injury solicitor. A solicitor is a recognised qualification following rigorous training and final examinations. Many people deal with personal injury claims but have no formal qualifications. Therefore, it is important to check that you are dealing with a personal injury solicitor.

Additional Qualifications

If you are looking for a specialist personal injury solicitor with many years experience, they should also be members of the Law Society's Personal Injury Panel. To achieve this qualification the solicitor must show competence in the field of personal injury law, but also must have handled a good number of claims that have gone to trial. There is no substitute for experience, and being a member of the Personal Injury Panel proves experience.

Membership of Professional Organisations

If you have been involved in a road accident you can look for a solicitor who is a member of The Motor Accident Solicitors Society (MASS for short). This is a not for profit organisation that campaigns for the rights of accident victims.

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) is another membership organisation for personal injury solicitors.

Will You Keep Your Compensation?

A specialist personal injury solicitor will usually ensure that you will keep all of your compensation if you win your claim and that you pay nothing to pursue your claim. Therefore, ensure that you will be able to keep all of your compensation and that you will pay no fees if your claim is not successful.

Finally

Ensure that you can communicate with the solicitor. They should not intimidate or worry you. If they do, choose another one as you will be dealing with them for some time. It is important that you are not afraid to pick up the telephone if you are concerned about any aspect of your claim.
