Do I Need to Use a Local Solicitor to Make an Injury Claim?

Chris Salmon, AuthorWritten by Chris Salmon on 27th June 2016

Many people looking to make a no win, no fee claim for a cycling injury wonder which solicitor they should choose.

As it is not necessary for you to meet with a solicitor in his office, you may prefer to appoint a solicitor who is experienced in handling cycling injury claims, as he will best understand your injuries and how they may affect your life.

Since all correspondence is conducted through telephone, email and letter and there are no documents to sign you will not need to attend an office.

If I wish, can I have a visit from a solicitor?

Of course, some people prefer to have a face to face meeting to discuss their claim with the solicitor who is representing them.

If your injuries mean you are not able to travel, or if you have been admitted to hospital after a serious collision, we can arrange for a solicitor to visit you either at your home or whilst you are in hospital.

If you've been injured in a cycling accident, it may be difficult or inconvenient for you to travel to a solicitor's office, especially if your injuries prevent you from cycling or driving.

Personal injury claims are now routinely handled remotely, by phone, post, email and video conference.

The Cycling Injury Legal solicitor panel handle all claims without requiring an in-person meeting. To begin the process, you can contact us via email or telephone to discuss making a compensation claim against the responsible party.

What about the medical assessment?

If you decide to make a cycling injury claim, you will need to attend a medical assessment.

This assessment will provide an independent opinion from a medical expert to determine the extent of your injuries.

This report is then used to support your compensation claim, and to help determine the amount of compensation you may be entitled to receive.

Medical assessments are a standard part of the personal injury claim process. The assessment will be arranged at a convenient and local medical centre near your home.

If you are injuries prevent you from leaving your home, the medical assessment can be carried out at your home.
