Free personal injury legal advice in 5 easy steps

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 20, 2010 -- Step 1 – get a free assessment
Making the free phone call to the 100% Compensation claims assessment helpline does not cost claimants a penny. You can even fill out an online form and request a call back. A friendly professional will telephone you and let you know whether your case is likely to succeed, and give you an estimate of how much compensation you are likely to receive. This legal advice is completely free.

Step 2 – checking details

If your claim is accepted, 100% Compensation’s lawyers will send you some details to verify, sign and send back. This is the moment when many firms ask for a cheque for “expenses” including the cost of a premium to cover an insurance policy relating to the other party’s costs. 100% Compensation do not ask for any money on account, as we cover this cost ourselves.

Step 3 – getting extra medical assessments

As part of a personal injury claim, you may need to see a medical specialist who is used to dealing with your kind of injury and assessing whether you can work again or gauging how long your recovery might take. If you win your case, the costs of such appointments can be recovered from the person who was responsible for your accident. However, the appointment has to be paid for upfront. 100% Compensation do not believe in asking their clients to pay for such appointments. Instead, in addition to giving free legal advice we bear these costs ourselves, recovering them if your case wins and losing the money if your case does not.

Step 4 – fighting your case
The time frame of this stage depends to a certain extent on how reasonable the other party is being. If they admit liability, then the only issue that is outstanding is the amount due to the claimant. If on the other hand they intend to deny their responsibility for as long as possible, then getting a resolution to the claim can take some months. If you have instructed 100% Compensation to deal with your claim, do not fret, because we will not charge you for any of the legal advice involved in these negotiations.

Step 5 – the conclusion
Hopefully a settlement can be reached, but if it cannot then the matter will end up in court. If the judge awards you compensation, the amount will be passed to you in full, as 100% Compensation do not deduct success fees. Our fees are paid by the person who caused your accident. In this way, the legal advice we give is completely free.
