What Will Our Panel Of Bicycle Injury Lawyers Help You With?
Our panel of bicycle injury lawyers could help you with gathering evidence, accessing rehabilitative support, and handling case paperwork. They can also ensure your claim is filed within the 3-year time limit set by the Limitation Act 1980. Let’s take a look at how a solicitor from our panel could help you in a little more detail:
- Evidence gathering: Your solicitor will explore every possible avenue to collate evidence on your behalf and strengthen your claim. This might include CCTV or dashcam footage, medical evidence, and witness statements that could corroborate your version of events.
- Independent medical assessment: To further strengthen your claim, your solicitor can also arrange to have a medical expert document the extent of your injuries. The findings from this independent assessment can be used as evidence for your claim.
- Rehabilitation: Our panel of solicitors take an empathetic approach to every claim, with the well-being of their clients being a priority. As part of this commitment, your bicycle accident lawyer can connect you with physiotherapists, psychiatrists, and other specialists to aid your recovery over the short and long term.
- Communication: With your needs in mind, your solicitor will also keep you informed at every stage of the claim. So, you’ll not only know what’s happening, but stay in control of the claims process at all times.
- Negotiations: Our panel of solicitors navigate the negotiations stage with a firm commitment to secure a settlement that reflects the pain, suffering and financial losses endured by their clients.
What Happens If My Bicycle Accident Claim Goes To Court?
If your bicycle accident claim goes to court, your solicitor will be by your side throughout and make sure you are fully prepared for this stage. They can also take an active role in instructing the right barrister for your hearing, so you have the time and space to focus on your recovery.
It’s important to emphasise that claims very rarely go to court, as most are settled before ever reaching this stage. To find out more about the services provided by our panel of bicycle accident lawyers, contact our advisors today.
Will Our Panel Work On A No Win No Fee Basis?
Yes, our panel of lawyers here at Public Interest Lawyers work on a No Win No Fee basis through a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This arrangement can be beneficial, as it means you aren’t charged any upfront service fees for your solicitor to begin working on your claim.
In fact, with a CFA, you’d not have to pay any service fees to progress your claim, or if the case were to be lost. Rather, if you win, a small percentage would be deducted from your compensation as a solicitor’s success fee. This is limited in accordance with The Conditional Fee Agreements Order 2013, so you can have peace of mind from the outside that you’d keep the majority of your compensation.
Our advisors are available 24/7, so get in touch today to find out how to claim on No Win No Fee terms.
Will You Need To Be Local To Our Panel Of Bicycle Injury Lawyers?
No, you do not need to be local to our panel of bicycle injury lawyers, as they can take on claims anywhere in the country. We understand it can be tempting to go with a local lawyer, especially if you have heard they have a good reputation. However, modern technology means it has never been easier to find a UK-based solicitor with the right experience and expertise needed for your claim. With our panel of solicitors, that means:
- Face-to-face meetings aren’t required.
- Communications can be handled via email, phone, and video conferencing.
- Vital documents can be shared online via email or cloud services.
Ultimately, the most important thing is to find a solicitor who fits your needs and has a proven track record with handling bike accident claims. Sometimes, the best way to find the right lawyer to choose is by casting your net wider than where you live.
If you have any questions about how our panel of lawyers could help you, get in touch with our advisors today.
Can You Switch From Your Current Bicycle Claim Lawyers?
Yes, you can switch from your current bicycle claim lawyer at any point during your claim, as you are under no obligation to stay with them. Not only do you have freedom of choice here, but it shouldn’t cost anything to switch lawyers. Nevertheless, it’s important to discuss with your current solicitor whether they are entitled to any fees for already completed work.
You’ll, of course, want to inform your current solicitor about your decision. That will help ensure a smoother transition and allow them to handle the process of transferring your case file to your new representative.
If you’d like to find out more about this process, feel free to have a chat with one of our friendly advisors today.
