We are specialist road accident compensation solicitors with over 25 years experience and will be able to advise you and help you through the whiplash claims process.
2. Will I have to pay anything if I win my accident compensation claim?
No - definitely not. We guarantee that you pay nothing if you win. As no win no fee personal injury solicitors, we can recover our costs from the other side. You keep 100% compensation. No risks, no deductions and no hidden charges.
3. Will I have to pay anything if I lose my road accident claim?
No - definitely not. If you lose your compensation claim, there is still nothing to pay. An insurance policy will cover any costs, so even if you lose you still will not have to pay a single penny.
4. Are there any catches?
No - definitely not. As experienced personal injury solicitors, we handle all whiplash claims and road accident compensation claims on a no win no fee basis. However we also have additional safeguards:
a) Nothing to pay, win or lose
b) 100% injury and accident compensation guaranteed

5. My insurance company says I must use them for my compensation claim - is this correct?
No. Some insurance companies incorrectly tell clients that they have to use a solicitor on their panel (who may not be near to you or who may not offer free home visits). You are free to use an independent firm of personal injury solicitors of your choice. If you're unhappy with your current solicitor or claims company handling claim, you can transfer your case. Call us today on 0800 612 4473 to speak to one of our specialist road accident and whiplash claims lawyers.

No - definitely not. The whiplash claims process should be straightforward - especially if you use experienced personal injury solicitors. We are here to explain the process and manage your compensation claim from start to finish using our tried and trusted legal experience. We will try to make the process as simple and stress free as possible so that you can concentrate on your recovery.
7. How much accident compensation will I receive?
The amount you receive will depend on the severity of your whiplash and other injuries and what other losses you have incurred as a result of the accident. Our whiplash and personal injury solicitors will be able to advise you on the valuation of your claim.
8. Are you a claims company or connected to one?
No. We are specialist whiplash claims and personal injury solicitors with no connection whatsoever to claims management companies with over 25 years experience.

9. Who has the right to claim and are there any time limits?
The general rule is that if some other party is to blame (even if you were partly to blame) for the road accident, then you may have a claim. Generally, you must bring a claim within 3 years of the accident or incident (unless you were under 18 at the time, you did not know you were injured, or other unusual circumstances apply, in which cases the time limits may be different). We recommend getting advice as soon as possible directly from whiplash claims solicitors so that the evidence to support your claim can be obtained quickly.
