    So you pulled onto the roundabout and didn't give way to the vehicle already on it. You may need a good solicitor to DEFEND you from a claim by the third party...


    I was already on the roundabout duh!

    I agree with bengalknights comment re insurance solicitors v private solicitors. However, the challenge for you then is to find the right private Solicitor. Insurance appointed solicitors are on the whole specialised but they are very often time challenged, so it could be hit and miss if you instructed them.

    As for the liability aspect of your claim, a better description, a plan and photographs of the roundabout are really required to be able to offer an opinion.

    You don't have to be injured before you can use a lawyer (or a claim handler) to sort the claim for you.

    And you don't have to be injured to make an injury claim, either.
