3. solicitor is nowclosing been offered public job. solicitor at firm who was assigned to me is going to another firm.
4 original solicitor said he as spoken and they will take case on his T&C's but when I looked there were things added and no mention of other solicitor having his costs paid.
5 I am doing this on a 25% but there was no mention of this as to wether they have it or they both have their own share.

I asked new solicitor questionson the costs etc. Now this solicitor doesn't want the case .

I will be ringing my original on monday. but I am am no good at this and knowing what should and shouldn't be..plus I now get very confused, upset, and my head can't cope with it all.

I have tried several solicitors to see if they can explain this T&C's, and where I stand but none will help.

Is there anyone who can give me plain and simple advice..

Marie, what's your actual question? You've explained your circumstances, which aren't ideal, but what is your question?

There are some common reasons solicitor's firms fold, some innocent and some not. You first of all need to satisfy yourself why the original firm folded. Try googling the name of the firm or the name of the solicitors registered at the firm along with SRA. This will tell you if they were shut down due to fraud or misconduct. If this is the case you will face an uphill battle to show your claim was not tainted by their disreputable actions.

Your next port of call is to check for legal cover on the motor policy in force at the time of the accident or provided as an add on to a banking product. Legal cover would provide a replacement solicitor and enable you to keep 100% of any compensation.

Be aware the legal limitation for your claim is three years so you need a solicitor onboard who is willing to take the case before November 18 to issue proceedings and they have to have medical evidence in place by March 19 to serve the proceedings.

You need to explain this a bit better:

1. Does your insurer not provide legal cover?
2. Contact court / solicitor & obtain copy of the judgement.
3. Are you claiming damages to vehicle and / or personal injury?
4. 25% fee, was this a no-win no-fee ambulance chaser?
5. What exactly did solicitor No1 say. If he can no longer handle case and it is no win no fee, you should ask for confirmation in writing there will be ZERO fees.
6. Select your new solicitor more carefully.
