Don´t fall for the personal injury sales patter

It wasn´t until recently that I realised many claims compensation firms or claims ´management´ companies were little more than go-betweens who pass on leads to solicitors up and down the UK.

If I was unfortunate enough to suffer a personal injury through no fault of my own, I would want to cut out the middleman and go directly to a personal injury solicitor who would deal with my claim. What´s the point of delaying the whole personal injury compensation claim process by dilly dallying with firms who have no other interest in your claim than the commission it will make for them when passed on?

Horror stories abound of salesmen or ´ambulance chasers´ following victims of serious personal injury to hospitals or even haranguing them at the scene of the accident in order to get their claim. Insensitive? Yes! Illegal? No!

Some firms also claim to be able to get your compensation within a certain amount of days or weeks, which is clearly misleading as every case is different. This ends up being frustrating for you – especially if you are suffering financial hardship and desperate for funds.

I know all about the hard sell as I worked for 5 years with one of the Costa del Sol´s biggest estate agents. Many of the salesmen I worked with would have sold their grannies to get another deal. The hard sell may be expected in timeshare and real estate businesses, but incorporating it into personal injury claims leaves a particularly bitter taste. Imagine you have suffered serious injuries, and a salesman is waiting by your bedside to get you to sign your claim over to him?

Not all salesmen are bad. Some are honest, some are tricksters and some are so bent they would give Uri Geller a run for his money (Remember him?– the famous cutlery bender from the 70´s).

So bear in mind that if you want to make a claim for personal injury, you should contact a personal injury solicitor, who will guide you through the whole process without pressure or heavy sales techniques. Preferably one who works on a no win, no fee basis, where you get 100% of the compensation at no risk and no cost to you. And don´t be conned into thinking that a case which was settled last year for a massive sum, will result in a similar payout. Delays can occur with medical reports, gathering information and the other side´s insurers. Be patient, don´t treat your compensation claim as an imminent lottery win, and never put a timescale on it.
A reputable personal injury solicitor will work efficiently and professionally on your behalf, and it can be more damaging to try and rush the compensation claims process by accepting an offer which is far below the payout you deserve. Your personal injury claims solicitor cannot control the speed at which the other side´s solicitor works, but they should be able to give you an approximate conclusion date once all the evidence has been gathered. Timescale also depends on whether the other side admit liability for the accident.

So to conclude, if you have suffered a personal injury as a result of an accident that was not your fault during the past three years, cut out the middlemen and contact a personal injury solicitor who will explain your legal rights and work hard on your behalf to get you the compensation you deserve.
