Snow Brings Lawsuits

PERSONAL injury claims are expected to increase in Worcestershire and Herefordshire because of the harsh winter, law experts say.

Icy roads and treacherous pavements at this time of year usually lead to more accidents- and more claims, says the Law Society.

Law Society representatives are calling on people to turn to solicitors rather than claims management companies Law Society President Robert Heslett says: "Solicitors are very approachable and many offer free first interviews for personal injury claims so there is no need for consumers to use a claims management company to make a claim."

Even if a consumer has signed a contract with one of these companies, by law there is a 14-day cooling off period in which to cancel.
