Worcestershire, England – July 15 – Hinchliffes Solicitors, a leading firm of personal injury claims solicitors, have issued a warning to people looking for personal injury compensation to be wary of companies who state they are specialists in this area.

They have found that the current trend is for almost everyone involved in personal injury claims to assert that they are specialists.  Companies want you to use their services and will do and say almost anything to attract your business.  One definition of the word ‘specialist’ is someone “who is devoted to a particular occupation or branch of study or research”.  However, they may be devoted to a particular occupation, but that does not necessarily mean they are any good at it!

The Internet is full of companies offering so called specialist personal injury claims services.  Many of them are claims management companies who promise you the earth and then sell your case for £700 or more to the claims solicitors on their panel.  It does not matter to them whether those claims solicitors are true specialists in this field, so long as they will pay a high price for the work.

When asked to comment, solicitor Steven Hinchliffe, the owner of Hinchliffes Solicitors, said: “It really is a minefield for people seeking advice on personal injury claims, for at every turn there is someone desperately trying to get hold of their claim.  Injured people should be careful to choose a true specialist, who can achieve the correct level of personal injury compensation.  All claims solicitors at my firm are senior members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, which supports injured people by fighting for their rights.”

Since all personal injury claims are actually handled by firms of solicitors, an injured person may want to consider contacting a specialist firm direct, rather than using a claims company which will add nothing to the claims process at all.  Internet searches using phrases such as “personal injury claims solicitors” or “personal injury compensation solicitors” should provide ample choice.  However, bear in mind that many claims management companies’ websites give the impression that you are dealing direct with solicitors when you are not, so be careful.

Phillip Roberts, an Associate Solicitor with Hinchliffes Solicitors says: “It can be a very worrying time for a client following an accident.  We do our best to reassure them and fully explain the procedure throughout the whole claim, guiding them through both the practical and legal issues.”

The firm’s advice to injured people is that once they have found a website offering a personal injury claims service, they should take a look at the whole site.  Is there information about how compensation for various injuries is valued or how the claim is dealt with?  Are personal injury claims dealt with in a call centre style operation by unqualified staff, or personally handled by an experienced claims solicitor?  Be sure that the website tells you everything you want to know, because if there is a lack of clear information, there may also be a lack of expertise in handling the claim. If you have a question before deciding whether to use their service, send an email or call them. Avoid being pressured to make a hurried decision and commit yourself before you have had time to reflect and consider what they can truly offer.

If you are in any doubt about how to make a claim for personal injury compensation, solicitors Steven Hinchliffe and Phillip Roberts can be contacted on the freephone number 0800 138 1348, or they will respond to an enquiry made via the firm’s website www.hinchliffes.co.uk

Worcestershire, England – July 15- Hinchliffes Solicitors have recently confirmed that over £5,500,000 in personal injury compensation has now been recovered for clients who have used their services. This shows that their specialist claim solicitors provide high quality services to make a successful personal injury claim.

Hinchliffes Solicitors, one of the leading firms of personal injury compensation solicitors, help people every day to make personal injury claims.  The firm has recently confirmed that over £5,500,000 in compensation has now been recovered for clients who have used their services to make a successful injury compensation claim.

The Principal and owner of the firm, Solicitor Steven Hinchliffe, said: “This is a great achievement and shows that our committed team of specialist solicitors and skilled support staff can provide a high quality, personal service, putting clients’ interests and wellbeing first.  Whether the injured person has suffered a relatively minor injury (such as a whiplash injury in a road accident) or a devastating and catastrophic injury (such as a head injury or loss of a limb following a work accident), our specialist personal injury solicitors have the legal know-how to achieve the best possible level of compensation for the client.”

Remarkably, their legal services are provided on a No Win No Fee basis, without cost or risk to the injured person. This is because if the injury compensation claim is successful, the client will also be able to recover the legal fees and costs incurred from the negligent party’s insurers, and no deductions are made from their personal injury compensation.  However, if the claim is unsuccessful the client is protected from all costs and has no bills to pay. Therefore, win or lose, clients of Hinchliffes Solicitors do not have anything to pay!

Associate Solicitor Phillip Roberts says:”We understand how an accident can radically alter a person’s life and that in severe cases; no amount of personal injury compensation can return them to their previous condition.  Our aim is therefore for clients to receive the right award of compensation, together with excellent medical and rehabilitative treatment.  We have access to outstanding medical experts and based upon their reports we work with the negligent party’s insurers to make available the rehabilitation treatment necessary to help each client rebuild their lives.”

The firm has developed its service to be as uncomplicated as possible. In the majority of cases there is no need for clients to visit the office, as everything can be done by letter, telephone or email. The firm believes their success as one of the foremost personal injury claims solicitors is the result of their commitment to providing a personal service and treating people as individuals.

Steven Hinchliffe added: “Our team of injury compensation claim specialists has the experience and expertise to deal with most types of personal injury claims, including work accidents or work related diseases; car and other road accidents; accidents on holiday; defective product claims; animal attacks and accidents in a public place such as slip, trip or fall accidents.”

The firm has built its reputation by ensuring their clients have access to justice, confident in the knowledge that win or lose they will not be asked to pay a penny to the firm, so long as the client does not breach their agreement with them.

Potential clients who are uncertain whether they can make a claim for personal injury compensation are encouraged to call free on 0800 138 1348 and speak to solicitors Steven Hinchliffe or Phillip Roberts, or to submit a claim form via the firm’s website www.hinchliffes.co.uk. All enquirers are under no obligation to proceed and will not be pressured into making an injury compensation claim.
