BBC Reports Pressure on Car Crash Victims
Sun 5th Jul 09 - 16:57
In June 2009, BBC Breakfast News reported that car insurers have been accused of pressuring road accident victims into settling compensation claims before they have had the chance to seek advice from a qualified personal injury solicitor. It has been claimed that some may even turn up at a person's home within hours of a car crash or road traffic incident.
From experience, Freeclaim Solicitors can confirm that this type of pressure is not just limited to car accident claims. In the last year, Freeclaim Personal Injury Solicitors have also dealt with clients who have been hassled by insurers after an accident at work or trip or slip. In one particular tripping claim, our client was offered an extremely low settlement of £3,500 by the insurance company before medical evidence and a liability decision. Eventually, after pursuing an accident claim through Freeclaim Solicitors, our client was awarded £23,500 accident compensation.
Our advice would be to always ensure you contact a qualified personal injury solicitor before you make any decision.
Whether you have had a road accident, an accident at work, trip or slip or other type of accident, always ensure you speak to a compensation specialist to get the best advice on your accident compensation claim.
