How Can We Communicate with Each Other?
Just like a doctor-patient or a buyer-seller relationship, it is important to maintain a very strong communication in a solicitor-client relationship. To some people, legal terms could sound like legal jargon. So, you want your chosen personal injury solicitor to be there to answer all the questions you have in a clear, concise fashion. So, once you have instructed your solicitor, and you have a question, or need an update, how should you make contact with them.
Communication should also always be present for the proper management of your case. MG Legal’s no win no fee solicitors are always on hand to give you proper advice and guidance, as well as to answer any questions that you may have. The best way to get hold of us, is by email. When you email, we can review your case, and more often than not, give you an update within minutes. Or, you can of course give us a call- sometimes was can respond to a complicated question easier, and quicker over the phone. Sometime emails can be misunderstood, and we know people like to hear a reassuring voice on the end of the phone.
You’re a solicitor, but are Personal Injury Claims your Specialisation?
It is very important to know that your no win no fee solicitor specialise in Personal Injury. Many firms out there handle different law cases and sometimes because of this, they do not have the knowledge to handle your personal injury case properly.
In the worst cases, when your solicitor is not that knowledgeable in personal injury, you could lose the case and you may not get proper compensation. Our team have experienced solicitors, often working against us, at another firm, that appear to be out of their depth; a quick Google search later, and we find that our opponent is actually a solicitor specialising in employment law. No wonder they didn’t know the procedure.

What Is your Success Rate in Handling No Win No Fee Claims?
This is a question you should always ask. It’s an easy question for any solicitor worth their salt, to answer, and should be asked as soon as your solicitor believes you have a viable case. At MG Legal we pride ourselves on a high success rate in personal injury claims- it’s actually over 99%. Knowing this rate can give you confidence in our ability to effectively handle your case.
Are You Comfortable Taking a Case to Trial?
In any personal injury claim, if possible, your solicitors will more than likely always aim to settle your claim out of Court. It helps you to avoid some of the stresses of going to Court, and sometimes even the threat of commencing court proceedings can make the party responsible for causing you to be injured, to make settlement offers. However, in the area of Personal Injury, it is important that when they are acting on a no win no fee basis, your solicitor is not afraid to take your case to Court if it is necessary. This is why it is important to ask them about their experience and success in trials. You may find yourself at a disadvantage if the solicitors you chose has not been even inside a Court, let alone dealt with a trial.
You should look for a solicitor that is willing to do whatever they can to settle things out of Court but is not afraid to go to Court when they realise that a trial is more advantageous to you.
Can my solicitor help Me Access Medical Treatment or Rehabilitation?
