When you suffer from a personal injury during a road accident where you were not at fault, you possess the right to claim for compensation. You may think of proper ways to file for a compensation claim, especially if you haven’t experienced anything of this sort before. There are personal as well as professional help available so that you can easily get your claim. All you need to do is be sure about the eligibility for demanding a road traffic accident compensation.
Getting The Claim Independently Many people try to get their claim without the help of any legal person or company. However, things get time-consuming and end up being legal. The system of law is such that you cannot win single-handedly without a legal attorney by your side. When you have nowhere else to go, you are left with two choices. You can hire a solicitor or a claims company. Here is what you need to know about both. Using A accident claims Company A claims management company (CMC) deals with personal injury claims. They generally work as a middleman between the law firm and the solicitor. However, many claims companies have started to work independently because there is no qualification needed. This has made things even worse because you never know who you are hiring. What is more interesting about CMSs is that these companies also resolve the claim issue with the help of solicitors but they get paid from both sides, making high profits. Issues with Claims Company There are so many issues with claims companies, majorly because they are not qualified, professionals. The ‘no win, no fee, no chance’, report by CAB stated that people have suffered a lot in the hands of unprofessional and scamming CMCs as 4 out of 5 didn’t notify the consumer about the cancellation of rights. 72% didn’t tell the client about a clear fee for the case. They had hidden charges, called their clients again and again, after which no compensation was actually given. When you hire a claims management company, you never know how high the bidding goes on your case will. The higher the biding, the more you will have to pay. Sometimes, your case isn’t even sold to a solicitor and you are just left hanging. Why Using A Solicitor Is Better Choosing a solicitor over a claims management company is better because you can work directly with them. There is no other involvement in your case whereas CMCs will also sell your case to a solicitor. Almost every solicitor sitting in a law firm is qualified, professional, experienced, and certified. They are transparent in their work, and also offer no win, no fee depending on your case type. Solicitors will do their best to save your money, have their own medical experts for evidence, and tell you upfront about the fee structure. You won’t be getting calls and receiving any marketing at your doorstep to entice you. Must Read: Road Safety Tips for Christmas
