Who Is The Legal Fees Payer If You Make An Accident Claim?
Accidents are not a new thing, as they happen every day. Sometimes they cause inconsiderable damages and sometimes, big damages. Inconsiderable losses are often not taken as claim worthy, so they make no issue. Accidents causing heavy damages generally arrive at courtrooms for requisition. It is evident that the hit party files the claim. They pleading are filed to get remittance as an aid to cover up from the losses of the accident.
Mostly people don't think of going for accident claims thinking of the high fees charged by the solicitors. It is a general conception that lawyers do nothing for free and they charge a person even for a legal advice. For this reason, people hesitate to file an accident claim. However, it is crucially important to know that when you are going to file a claim, how your solicitor is going to be paid.
Most often, the solicitor taking up a case of an accident claim has to charge his fee from the opponent. He gets his fees from the opponent's insurers. It is important that you choose your solicitor carefully, the one with a good reputation of winning road accident claims, because he would be able to present your case in the most appropriate manner.
Many solicitors offer their services saying 'no win no fees'. In that case there is a hint that the claiming person is the one who will be paying the legal fees. However, it should be crystal-clear that the solicitor is not entitled to receive a single penny from the claimer even if the case is lost in the favour of the opponent.
These road accident requisitions are generally of two kinds; claims for body wounds, and claims for car damages. Therefore, requisitions differ from case to case. If there are more B.Is i.e. Bodily Injuries, the requisition must clearly state so, and if the car losses are more, then the claim should be loud about them.
One significant thing to notice relating to the legal costs is that while inking an agreement with your lawyer, you must read the articles of the agreement carefully. You must understand each and everything mentioned in the agreement. Beware of articles stating that the claimer will be payable or responsible for any extra expenses, which include claims for medical treatment and its costs, and requisition for time to make the case more impressive. Always keep in mind that all expenses are charged from the defendant and the lawyer cannot put them on the claimer thinking to charge from the remittance he gets.
While going for an accident proclamation, one must also know that until when he can file a proclamation. In UK, a claim for compensation can be filed within a period of 3 years of the accident date. The solicitor will need the medical examination reports to decide the amount to be claimed.
The claim cases are generally settled within 6-9 months' time since the filing of the claim. Nonetheless, it is more beneficial not to take the matter to the court and solve it outside the court. - 21392
