Changing law firms can double your compensation award
Just because the other driver admits liability does not mean your car accident compensation claim will be smooth sailing, something that Joan Dodds from South Wales discovered following a car crash that happened just minutes from her home. Just after her and her husband pulled out from their house another driver lost control of his vehicle and smashed into the passenger side where she was seated.
Fortunately the cars were not moving at high speed and so the damage done was somewhat limited, however at the speeds they were travelling at left Joan with a fractured spine, sternum as well as severe bruising all over her body. After a recommendation from Vauxhall car insurance, they contacted personal injury solicitors in Tewksbury.
Time passed and progress appeared slow, and while all the individuals they dealt with were polite and courteous they eventually came back with a maximum figure of £3,000 for her injuries. Such a figure didn’t agree with Joan’s ‘waters’ and so she took further action, by changing law firms she was able to fast forward the whole process and within 6 months she received a cheque for £7,000, £4,000 more than the previous law firm who had taken some 2 years to barely reach the £3,000 mark.
