Who
are we? Legal Brokers Ltd are one of the UK's
foremost "service" brokerages. We work with
a select band of solicitors to provide conveyancing,
personal injury help
and support with endowment
claims.
What injuries
can I claim for? By law you are entitled to
compensation for a "non fault" accident.
ie. if you've been injured as the result of someone
else's negligence. This can mean claiming for bruising,
cuts or soft tissue injuries such as whiplash.
Contact the Legal Brokers team
if you feel you may have a case, but aren't sure.
Is there
a time limit on submitting a claim for personal injuries?
Yes, usually 3 years from the date of the incident
or the diagnosis of the disability.
Should
I have reported my injuries to my GP or hospital?
When considering a Compensation claim it is always
beneficial to have visited a health professional.
Written records of the injuries you sustained as well
as photographs are always a helpful tool in assessing
damages.
Do we
adhere to the Solicitors Introduction & Referral
Code 1990 and what exactly is it ? The Law
Society, the solicitor's governing body, permits solicitors
to make agreements with their introducing agents for
referral work. Such agreements must comply with a
code, known as the Solicitors Introduction and Referral
Code, which contains rules to safeguard your interests
as the customer.
We comply with the Solicitors
Introduction and Referral Code published by the Law
Society, and any solicitor to whom we refer you is
an independent professional, from whom you will receive
impartial and confidential advice.
With regard to our costs these
are paid by the solicitor and not via yourselves.
How can
a claim cost me nothing? We only appoint solicitors
who agree to enter into a Conditional Fee Agreement
in relation to their legal costs and take out an Insurance
Policy to protect you against any other potential
costs.
If you
are successful in your claim, then the responsible
third party are required to pay ALL of your legal
costs including the cost of your insurance premium.
If for any reason you are unsuccessful in your claim
the Insurance Policy will cover all the legal costs.
In this manner the claim costs
you nothing, either way, and your rights are protected
in law.
Who funds
the insurance and disbursements? Your Appointed
Solicitor provides funding. You are not responsible
for any funding costs.
What cover
does the Insurance Policy provide? In the event
your claim is unsuccessful the Insurance Policy covers
you for any liability in respect of legal costs, disbursements
and the cost of the insurance premium.
Who will
represent me with my personal injuries claim?
One of our "panel" personal injury lawyers
will be allocated according to the specialist nature
of your injury or disability..
Will I
have to visit a solicitors office? No. However
you may visit the solicitor if you wish.
The Appointed Solicitor will
instruct an Assessor who will arrange, a confidential,
home visit to discuss your situation in greater detail.
How do
I begin a claim? Either complete the Online
form or call a member of the team. Alternative request
a "call back" and we'll ring you.
