According to recent figures released by the Ministry of Justice, the number of personal injury claims management companies fell from 2,316 to 1,485 from January to September 2013. This reduction is undoubtedly down to recent government reforms, introduced to combat the rising cost of insurance premiums by combating ‘bogus claims’.
But how does this reduction benefit genuine victims of personal injury accidents and injuries?
As a highly regarded firm of specialist solicitors our dedicated personal injury lawyers have seen tens of millions of pounds worth of compensation awarded over the years. With a personal, caring and human approach we always consider the long term impact of any injuries as well as the short term effects. This approach ensures that our clients get the best possible result and the compensation they deserve.
Unfortunately however, not all firms can say the same.
Despite the latest government reforms there are still too many ‘factory’ claims companies with a focus on volume claims and a fast turnaround rather than the long-term needs of the victim. Such a lack of care leaves personal injury victims open to professional advice and representation below the standard expected by the profession, which could ultimately see the injured person, lose out financially as a result.
What can you do if you have been let down by a claims management company or solicitor?
If you have been let down through inadequate or improper conduct from a claims management company or indeed a solicitor and have lost out financially as a result, you may be entitled to make a professional negligence claim.
