Guide To Choosing Your
Personal Injury Solicitor In Scotland
When you are trying to choose your personal injury claim solicitor, how do you know who is going to provide you with the best service? Whilst all solicitors must be legally qualified, there is a big difference in the levels of customer service. Our essential guide tells you the questions you should ask to ensure you have the best possible chances of success with your personal injury claim.
1. Will I receive all of my compensation?
This is surely the most important question for you. If you have suffered injury and someone else is to blame, you are entitled to compensation. Therefore, you need to know that if you win your claim you will receive all of your compensation.
All of our personal injury solicitors in Scotland will ensure you receive 100% of your compensation if your claim is successful with no deductions whatsoever!
2. Will my claim be dealt with by a solicitor?
You might expect that all claims will be dealt with by a solicitor. This is not always the case. Whilst every part of your claim does not have to be dealt with by a solicitor, with some tasks able to be dealt with by legal assisants, you should be confident that a personal injury solicitor will have overall control.
All of 1stClaims solicitors ensure that all claims are supervised by a qualified personal injury solicitor.
3. What other experience should my solicitor have?
If a solicitor specialises in personal injury claims you should expect them to belong to the Law Society's Personal Injury Panel, The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, and The Motor Accident Solicitors Society.
All 1stClaims solicitors meet these requirements to ensure your claim is dealt with by experts.
4. What if I need treatment and there is a waiting list?
Your solicitor should be able to arrange free private medical treatment for you to speed up your recovery if NHS treatment is not readily available.
1stClaims personal injury solicitors have access to physiotherapists, chiropracters and other treatment providers all across Scotland.
5. Will I have to pay anything to make a claim?
No, you really should not have to. Your solicitor will be able to recover their legal costs from the other person's insurance company, leaving you free to keep your compensation.
1stClaims charge you nothing for our service. Beware of hidden costs from other claims companies, including "signing on fees", "administration costs" and "insurance policies". These should not be paid by you.
