Important things to consider
Legal costs
We must ensure that there is a funding arrangement in place to avoid you losing part of your compensation and legal fees. We can talk you through the various funding options and advise you on the best one for your circumstances. In the vast majority of cases, we will act on your behalf on a no-win-no-fee basis. This means you retain 100% of your compensation.
Additional services
We are also part of a much wider organisation that can offer assistance with many other legal needs which may flow from your claim. If your settlement is substantial it is prudent to consider setting up a trust to protect your compensation from DSS benefits deduction, and we can deal with this for you. If you are seriously injured you may need to move home or adapt your current home to suit your physical limitations, and again we can advise and assist in these areas. In short, we are able to offer support and advice on a wide range of issues directly and indirectly related to cycle accident claims.
