• Car Accident Whiplash Injury Claims -

• What do lawyers charge?

A car accident whiplash injury can be excruciatingly painful. The effects can impact on your personal life, your work life and your hobbies. So why are some people put off from claiming compensation? There are various fee structures that firms use, and here is a guide to how firms charge.

The press is always full of stories about how expensive lawyers are. And some lawyers can be costly. If you only experience of using solicitors has been in buying a house, you might have had to pay hundreds of pounds whether or not the purchase or sale completed or fell through.

However, claiming compensation is different. In the last few years personal injury solicitors have recognised the fear that people face about fees and their decision to claim. So they started to offer no win no fee agreements to encourage people to come forward and progress their cases. If you have a car accident whiplash injury, a no win no fee agreement is likely to be the best way to fund your legal action for a personal injury claim.

• But not all no win no fee agreements are equal.  Study the small print before you sign up to a deal, and pay particular attention to the following issues:

  • Do the lawyers ask for any cash upfront?

  Some lawyers insist that you pay for extra medical consultations that you have to attend upfront. For example, you may have to see a practitioner who specialises in car accident whiplash injury claims. If your claim is successful, you would probably be able to claim this amount back. However, it is not helpful to you to have to find the cash at the beginning of the claims process.

• Other firms insist that you take out an insurance policy in case you lose your case. The losing party in court cases is usually responsible for the other party’s legal costs, so the insurance policy is to cover this eventuality.

• At Maximum Compensation we do not ask for either of these things at any stage of the claims process. We only take on cases we think we can win, so we are confident in the claimants we represent and are happy to bear the risk of paying upfront for medical bills and insurance policies.

  • Will you be charged a success fee?

  Imagine how pleased you would be when your car accident whiplash injury compensation finally arrives in the post. However, some successful claimants open that envelope and find that the amount is significantly less than they had expected. This is because some lawyers deduct a “success fee” from their clients’ compensation if they win. Such details are easy to overlook in the fine print of no win no fee agreements, but can decimate your compensation.

• Maximum Compensation do not deduct any such amounts. As our name suggests we claim back all of our fees from the losing party. You receive your compensation in full.
