When legal aid assistance was abolished for personal injury claims back in 2000, many people believed that this was an end to people on lower incomes being able to claim from 'fat cats' when they had been involved in such an unfortunate incident. Fortunately, however, this really has not become the case.
In fact, most firms of solicitors are now able to offer assistance on terms whereby the claimant need not pay a single penny. Obviously, they will be more picky over the cases they take on in the first place, but then, this won't be a bad thing and will at least ensure that you have a fighting chance of winning the case.
The internet is groaning under the weight of firms that offer this type of service. You will literally be inundated with advertisements that say look here for more information. There are, though, a few points that you should take on board before you instruct such a representative.
First and foremost, make sure you are not paying for their service. There are still some firms out there that will not offer these no win no fee terms, therefore, do your homework first. The solicitor would be able to charge their fees through the other side and you would still be able to keep any compensatory package you had been awarded.
Check out the level of service that you can expect to receive from any firm you may be interested in: review sites and word-of-mouth are two perfect sources for this type of information.
