When you are pursuing a personal injury claim, your choice of solicitor is a very important one. it can determine whether or not your claim is successful, and can affect the amount of compensation that you achieve for a successful claim.
When you begin working with a particular personal injury solicitor, you will no doubt believe that they are the right one for you, and will be the best choice to obtain the maximum financial compensation for your personal injury claim.
However, this is not always the case. If you are unhappy with the service that you are receiving from your personal injury solicitor, regardless of whether or not you have already begun the process of building your personal injury claim with them, you are perfectly entitled to seek alternative legal representation from a personal injury solicitor who you feel is better suited to you and your claim.
Here at MG Legal, our expert personal injury solicitors are well experienced in taking on claims from other solicitors, whose clients do not feel they are getting the best quality of legal representation in their personal injury claim. Because of our success rate in personal injury claims, and our reputation among previous clients, a significant proportion of the personal injury claims that we work on are taken on from clients who have previously been unhappy with the personal injury solicitor they initially chose.
When a client realises that they have made the wrong decision with their personal injury solicitor, it can be distressing and they may not know what to do going forward.
In this post, our personal injury solicitors discuss how to choose the right personal injury solicitor for you, what to look for in a personal injury solicitor, the common reasons for changing personal injury solicitors, and the steps necessary to changing personal injury solicitors midway through a claim.
Common reasons for clients changing personal injury solicitors midway through a personal injury claim
feeling unhappy with the level of communication from their personal injury solicitor
experiencing periods of inactivity and no communication from their personal injury solicitor
feelings of concern regarding the quality of legal advice from the personal injury solicitor

What to look for in a personal injury solicitor:
With so many reasons being experienced by clients as to why they may wish to change personal injury solicitors, it is helpful to know what to look for in the first place when choosing your personal injury solicitor.
A friendly, approachable solicitor
the first step to finding the right personal injury solicitor for you, is simply to speak with a given solicitor over the phone or in person and get a general feel for the solicitor. It is no secret that solicitors have historical reputation of being stuffy, impersonal, and even stuck up, but this is far from the case for many personal injury solicitors.
You want to work with a personal injury solicitor who you feel comfortable with, who listens to you, and is willing to take the time to explain things to you or answer any questions that you may have. It is this openness and communication that will be so important when it comes to actually working on your personal injury claim.

A solicitor with good reviews- there is no better way to understand how a specific solicitor works with their clients, than to hear it first hand from them. always take the time to read the reviews of a given personal injury solicitor before you decide to work with them. For a full overview of MG legals client reviews see these here.
