Ensuring that you have the right personal injury solicitor representing you for your compensation claim is vital. But with so many people claiming to be experts for personal injury claims it may seem impossible to know which solicitor will be best for you! However, all you need to do is ask your solicitor the following questions:

1. Is there a specialist qualified to handle your personal compensation claim?

This might sound like a silly question but with so many different areas of personal injury claims it's essential that your solicitor has the right knowledge to represent you. Always remember that if your chosen injury claims solicitor does not specialise in your particular area of law, he/she are unlikely to know the current legal trends, and could instead end up costing you money.

2. Is the personal injury solicitor a member of any recognised organisations?

Make sure that your personal injury solicitors are regulated by The Law Society and are members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, ensuring you receive the best possible service.

3. What will it cost me?

Your solicitor is obliged by the Law Society rules to tell you what it is going to cost you to pursue your personal injury claim or at least give you an estimate. You should ask them if they can offer you a no win no fee agreement backed by an insurance policy to insure you against your opponents costs.

4. Do I need to actually see my solicitor?

Not really. If you are unable to get to see your solicitor they should be willing to come out to see you. However, in most straight forward cases you will not need to see your solicitor as most of the communication can be done by telephone, email and letter. If you particularly want to see your solicitor you should say so at the outset.

5. What will happen if you lose?

Hiring a solicitor can be expensive; so what happens if you lose? You need to ask this question of your personal injury solicitor to see if he/she is willing to insure your claim against the chances that you may lose. Always ask for a No Win No Fee deal!
