  • Go to a solicitor firm, not an accident management type company.
    Check on your household insurance for any legal cover which may avoid you losing any % of your compensation

    Most solicitors who cover personal injury do so on a Conditional Fee basis. Contact a local solicitor - they will generally provide a better service than an anonymous claims firm, and you will be able to meet them face to face to discuss your options and to make sure you understand your options.

    As Onan says, check whether you have legal cover, but be aware that if you do, they may refer you to their preferred company which may not necessarily be the best one for you.
