Personal Injury Claim - FAQ
Comments
-
Brigid - I have worked for Insurance Companies and Solicitors.
It would not be appropriate for me to say which companies suffice to say, when I worked at Insurance Companies, we were "encouraged" to take advantage of Claimants who did not have Solicitors acting for them.
We were encouraged to make offers ranging from £500-1200 to settle claims without a medical.
Most Claimants thought woohoo - money in their pocket.
The sad reality is that most Claimants will have minor symptoms that last between 6-12 months suggesting that the injury is worth £1600-2750.
There are some on this MB who say that Solicitors take advantage. Having worked on both sides of the fence I would always recommend using a Solicitor. That way you know the Insurance Company is not undervaluing what you should be receiving.I have dealt with Motor & Personal Injury Claims for 20 years.
