The answer is generally very simple – yes. You do have the right to pick your own compensation solicitor, one who you think is right for you – even if the solicitors fees are going to be covered by your legal expenses insurance policy.
Our compensation claim solicitors regularly talk to clients who are not happy with the solicitor picked for them by their legal expenses insurer.
If your claim is small or simple, then using a solicitor chosen by your insurance company may prove okay. However, when it comes to serious medical negligence or complex accident claims, you really do need to make sure that you appoint a specialist medical negligence or personal injury solicitor – and one that you feel happy talking to – ideally in person.
In an medical negligence or accident compensation claim, we can act for you using a no win no fee arrangement – and it’s probable that we can also represent you using your legal expenses insurance.
In any event, make sure you appoint the right solicitor – don’t automatically accept the solicitor provided by your insurance company if you don’t feel comfortable with them.
Our team are accepted by many legal insurers – so if you want specialist legal advice on how to claim compensation for medical negligence or an accident, e-mail us today – or call our team on [0800 1404544].
