From what Ive told you, you can draw the conclusion that you only have to pay your solicitor if your case is won. Yes, thats true. However, if you case isnt won, you have to know that you might have to pay your opponents costs. So my advice here is simple: request for a compensation claim that you know you can win. I mean, if youve been involved in a work accident or a road accident that you are sure it wasnt your fault, go for it. If you are not that sure, you may assume the risks, but also be aware of the possible consequences, and by that I mean paying the opponents costs if your case is not won.

He will ask you to give him all the evidence you managed to gather, and later on he is going to double check everything. Its not that he doesnt trust you, its just a thing that lawyers do. Then, hes going to appoint you to a meeting with a medical expert, who will evaluate all your injuries. These appointments will have to be made regularly, because theres no telling of how your injuries will evolve and you have to get very well compensated for them. You may have suffered a serious whiplash without even realizing it.
