Have you been contacted by an insurance company to settle a claim after an accident?

This occurs after you have been involved in an accident and the other party’s insurance company contact you and try to persuade you to settle your claim.  These groups are campaigning for strict guidelines to protect victims of road traffic accidents from this practice.

At Ascot Lawyers we obtain medical evidence and keep in regular contact with you so that we canassess the level of compensation you are entitled to.  We have the benefit of knowledge and experience and access to the latest guidelines and case law to ensure that you receive the right amount of compensation.  It has been reported that insurers are pressurising claimants to settle their claims without them having had any legal advice and without any medical evidence.

Receive the correct level of compensation

This makes it very difficult to assess whether you are receiving the correct level of compensation.  Ascot Lawyers believe that we can help you to obtain a far greater level of compensation than what is being offered by third party insurers at the outset.  After all we will be working on your behalf whereas the other party’s insurers have no such duty.

Compensation claim example

By way of example, Ascot Lawyers received instructions to act for a lady who was dealing with the other party’s insurers directly.  They had offered the client £22,000 on the basis that they said this was a fair offer for her injury.  She then instructed Ascot Lawyers to act on her behalf and within a short period of time, and without any new evidence, Ascot Lawyers secured her a settlement of £47,500.
