Medical Negligence Solicitors – instruct a solicitor direct

If you need to make a claim for medical negligence compensation, you should instruct Medical Solicitors directly.

But, what does this mean?

A number of the ‘big name firms’ you see out there, including those who advertise on the TV with famous faces touting their services, are actually not lawyers at all. Many are actually claims management companies, or claims advice services; essentially middlemen who pass the claims over to solicitors when you can simply go direct.

We advise that you should always approach Medical Negligence Solicitors, and there are good reasons as to why you should.

Always instruct Medical Negligence Solicitors directly

Our advice is that anyone who wants to make a claim for medical negligence compensation should instruct Medical Negligence Solicitors directly. Avoid the middlemen who add no value to the claim at all in our view, and some have been known to charge clients in the past for referring cases on.

Before April 2013 there was a lucrative industry for these claims management companies receiving referral fees from solicitors who were essentially paying for your case. We never – and I mean, NEVER – paid companies for cases. We always spoke out against the practice as it allowed middlemen to take cuts from the legal fees lawyers should have been spending on running the actual case.

Advice from Medical Negligence Solicitors direct should be better

Another very important point is that speaking to Medical Negligence Solicitors directly should mean far better advice, which is particularly important with medical negligence cases that are often complex in terms of establishing liability, proving the injuries and in terms of your time limitations to claims.

The claims management services are usually not law firms, and don’t usually employ lawyers either. What if they were to mis-advise you about the prospects of a case and you missed an opportunity to claim? What if you need clear and concise advice about a very sensitive and complex case where your suffering is serious and potentially lifelong?

Speaking to a firm of Medical Negligence Solicitors directly – and therefore receiving the advice of an actual lawyer and / or legal executive who works on cases like yours – as opposed to a middleman agency is far better in our view.

Our advice is simple: always ask for advice from Medical Negligence Solicitors directly.
