Ban referral fees

« Back to Blog

We have all seen the adverts on the TV where so called solicitors firms offer to act for you for your personal injury claim on a no win no fee basis.  Unbeknown to most people the companies behind these adverts are not firms of solicitors at all but instead are “claims management companies” who will then sell on your claim for hundreds of pounds. 

In the business we call these companies “claims farmers”.  They aren’t qualified to give legal advice and are effectively a call centre.  There are over 3,000 claims management companies in the UK and the industry turnover in 2009 is thought to be around £380,000 million.    

The government is currently considering banning these types of referral fees altogether or as an alternative placing some regulations in place to make the business of referral fees more open and transparent.

By approaching Actons Injury Solicitors directly you are dealing with a firm of solicitors from the moment that you start your claim.  This is a direct legal service that a claims management company cannot offer.  There is no middle man and you can rest assured that your details have not been sold on by anybody else.   

Actons Injury Solicitors are a firm of fully qualified legal advisors.  Your claim will not be dealt with by an unqualified case-worker but by a fully qualified legal advisor who has years of experience in dealing with personal injury claims. 

If you have been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault then you could be entitled to compensation.
