The Horrible Truth About Personal Injury

Accidents happen, and that\'s fact we cannot change. However, it doesn\'t mean that
you should be robbed by solicitors waiting in the wings.

London, England - 8 March 2006 - Let\'s Be Fair

Ambulance chasers get a bad name, and rightfully so. Not because they chase
ambulances, but because many in the industry trick their clients into signing
contracts which load potential compensation winnings with underhand legal expenses.

So what to do I hear you ask? As with anything research the solicitor your using and
ask the right questions.

- Do they have a track record in personal injury cases?

- How many cases have they won?

- Do they specialize in personal injury?

- Are they regulated by the Law Society?

When you are asked to sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), make sure that your
solicitor is claiming their fees and expenses from the opponent and not from any
personal injury compensation you are awarded.
If the solicitor gives you any problems at this stage, you can remind them of the
Access to Justice Act which allows them to claim all reasonable expenses from the
other party

Another area of cost to be aware of is out of pocket expenses. Once again these
should be recovered from the other party. However, the courts will only allow what
they deem reasonable costs, and only if you win.

If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in any kind of personal injury, slip or
trip, accident at work, road traffic accident or accident in a public place there
are a few things you should be sure to do.

- Seek legal advice as soon as possible

- Take photographs if possible

- Record witness details

- Inform the police and obtain a report number

Claims are made possible by law to cushion us against expenses caused by accidents
and should be pursued if you feel you have a case.
