My OperaEdinburgh solicitors Accident Claims: Worth The Wait?

If you've had a serious accident in the car, in public or at your place of work, it can be a disorientating and distressing time and when you are making a compensation claim it can be worrying that you'll put time and effort into the claim and will end up with nothing.
This common concern often leads to claimants being unsure as to whether they should take the first offer an insurer or solicitor makes them, as this cuts out the rest of the claims process and means they are guaranteed at least some compensation.
Those at fault (or those representing them) will often take advantage of this fear, manipulating it by using pressure tactics so that the injured party is more likely to take them up on their offer. For them it is a win-win situation as they usually save money, time and can often avoid some of the bad press surrounding these types of claims.
In nearly all cases the first offer is less than the true claim value, and in some cases the deficit has been more than a thousand percent. If an injured party has suffered a reduction in quality of life and loss of past and future earning then a difference of this magnitude would make a difference between them having a more comfortable life and them struggling with their injury.
It can be frustrating waiting for your claim to be resolved, but be assured that your personal injury solicitor is an expert and if they feel the claim is worth pursuing further then they are usually correct. If you take the first offer against their advice, then you are really accepting less than you are entitled to and are often not getting the apology you deserve too.
The bottom line is this, if a careless driver caused you an injury, your employer failed to protect you or any other liable party is at fault, then you deserve compensation and an admittance of blame on their part, and are entitled to get it.
If you think you may be entitled to make a neck, industrial accident or head injury claim then a specialist no win no fee solcitor can help you make the right choices.edinburgh solicitors: edinburgh solicitor
