If you have a personal injury claim, where do you go to for advice? Most people only have one accident in their life and therefore when they have an accident it is the first time that they have needed a personal injury solicitor to pursue a claim. The best way is to rely upon the personal recommendation from someone else, preferably someone who has had a good experience of their personal injury solicitor pursuing a claim on their behalf. There is no substitute for personal recommendation.

The local, specialist, personal injury solicitor that you approach direct is probably the best bet for you to get a good personal injury solicitor. They need to have a good deal of experience and specialise in personal injury so that they have the layer upon layer of knowledge needed to pursue a personal injury claim to its best advantage and local knowledge of local experts and the local courts is invaluable. Immediately after an accident you will probably be approached immediately by your own Insurance Company seeking to refer you to their tame panel of solicitors probably up-country. The solicitors are likely to pay the insures a ...
... handsome referral fee. Many of the organisations on day-time television and the phone book are not solicitors but claims management companies who just get paid for selling your case to solicitors.

At the very bottom of the list are the companies that send texts or unsolicited phone calls stating that you have been awarded £3,750.00 compensation for your recent accident is a common one or contact you as a result of surveys you have filled in or been stopped in the street. Any referral is likely to be based on the amount of money paid to them rather than an assessment of the calibre of legal services that you are likely to receive. Your best option still is to see wilfully independent, specialist personal injury solicitors recommended to you as they do a good job rather than other commercial interests who view your accident as a commodity. So if you have had an accident instruct a specialist determinedly independent, local, personal injury solicitor.
