How A Solicitor Can Save You From Settling Your Personal Injury Claim Too Soon

14/04/2015 Filed Under: Personal Injury Claims in Moray Tagged With: , ,

Motor insurers have a habit of trying to settle your personal injury claim as quickly as possible.

This is not likely to be in your best interests. Arguably, it is not in their best interests either.

We recently received the following email enquiry via our website from a lady we will call Alison (which is not her real name):

“I was in a car accident about 3 weeks ago, which was no fault on my part. I have been suffering with a bad neck and headaches since. I lost a week at work and have had to cut down my hours at work due to this accident as I just feel it was aggravating my neck. The insurance company are offering me £2,000?! Does this sound fair?”

The main risk from this brief scenario is under-settling the claim’s value. It gives us a chance to explore how a solicitor can save you from settling your personal injury claim too soon, making sure as far as possible that you get fair compensation. [Read more…]

As Kate watched Tom drive off from outside their house that bleak Moray morning, it was the last time she would ever see him alive.

As usual, as he was leaving the house, he had kissed her and she had told him to “take care”.
