Injury

Our UK personal injury lawyers provide free advice and deal with risk free no win no fee compensation claims. You are not required to finance your claim and compensation is paid in full with no deductions. Win or lose there is no charge. Submit your details today and an expert solicitor who is a member of the Law Society panel of personal injury experts will respond, without obligation or charge, to offer advice and guidance on the steps you should take to preserve your legal right to compensation.

UK personal injury lawyers are required to offer an independent and professional service which has compulsory insurance, an independent complaints process and assured integrity and confidentiality. Solicitors must act in their clients' interests, unless this conflicts with their duty to uphold justice. They must honour undertakings even if they are not legally enforceable and they must also handle their clients' money in separate, specified accounts.

There are formal institutions in place to protect clients: the Law Society Complaints Service examines unprofessional service and the Compliance Directorate examines inadequate conduct. In cases of misconduct, solicitors may have to appear before the Solicitors' Disciplinary Tribunal which may impose penalties and even strike the lawyer off. Meanwhile, the Office for the Supervision of Solicitors can compensate clients in the event of unprofessional service or demand a reduced bill.

A UK personal injury lawyer offers legal advice to clients, prepares documents, negotiates on their behalf and may represent them in court to ensure they exercise their legal rights. Entering the profession is difficult, and even when qualified solicitors must undertake ongoing training in a programme of professional development and many opt to obtain professional accreditation in the field in which they choose to specialise. To obtain membership of the Law Society panel of personal injury experts a detailed questionnaire must be submitted, outlining that stringent training has been undertaken, that appropriate experience has been obtained and that the firm the lawyer works for complies with numerous professional requirements. Potential members must demonstrate competence in the field, and will only be selected by expert assessors on the grounds that they are deserving of this prestigious accreditation. Members will display detailed knowledge of:

• Road Traffic Acts
• Common Law of Negligence
• Occupiers Liability Act
• Contributory Negligence
• Civil Evidence Acts
• Vicarious Liability
• Motor Insurance Bureau
• Employers Liability
• Consumer Protection Act
• Health and Safety at Work Act
• Fatal Accident Act 1976
• European Community legislation
