Legal Claim UK is a network of specialist personal injury solicitors operating nationwide throughout the United Kingdom. Our lawyers have all been accepted to the Law Society panel of experts¹. We deal with claims using the no win no fee scheme and pay compensation in full with no deductions². Our claims scheme is completely risk free and you will not be asked to pay anything at all as the case proceeds.

In order to qualify for membership of the Law Society specialist panel a lawyer must display adequate knowledge of particular areas of the law mainly relevant to accident claims, ethical issues and professional skills. The law firm must also satisfy the criteria for selection and must be capable and businesslike and have the facilities and resources to support the individual panel member.

A qualified lawyer offers an independent service with unique consumer protection:

• Compulsory professional indemnity insurance against negligence

• Independent complaints system

•

Independence, integrity and guaranteed confidentiality.

• Complex training and entry requirements to the solicitors' profession

• Compulsory program of continuing education.

• The Law Society admits only 'fit and proper persons' to the profession.

• Annual practising certificate guarantees proper qualification

• Compensation fund which ensures that the public will not suffer financially

The Law Society governs the behaviour of solicitors:

• A lawyer must act in his client's interest except when it conflicts with a solicitor's duty to uphold justice.

• A lawyer must not act in conflict with any client

• All information must be confidential

• The solicitor must have a separate account for clients' money

• Lawyers must have adequate experience before they can either supervise an office or set up on their own.

It's a fallacy to think that all lawyers are the same and just going to your local High Street solicitor could be a big mistake. The law is a very wide discipline and like everything else in life there are specialist for each part of the law. Most lawyers will take on a personal injury claim if it walks in through the door, but just how good is he at proving liability and maximising your compensation claim. You'll probably never know and if you do find out it will probably be too late to do anything about it. The experience and knowledge of the person who handles a damages claim has a real and tangible effect on the chances of success. For this reason the Law Society has an



accreditation scheme and commends quality specialists in this area of law by awarding them a place on their panel of personal injury experts provided that they and also their firm satisfy rigorous standards.

Personal injury solicitors who are Law Society panel members are committed to gaining the maximum compensation for their clients if they have suffered physical damage through no fault of their own. Specialist accident solicitors realise that certain claims have to be handled with great sensitivity and not only work towards gaining compensation, but also help support the client throughout these difficult times. Recovering money can never properly compensate for a tragic accident but money can relieve the added stress of financial difficulties and make life easier.
