Personal Injury Lawyers

Latest research by MORI shows that more than half (55%) the British public would be confident in knowing who to contact in pursuing a compensation claim if they had been injured. Two in five (41%) would prefer an accredited, independent personal injury lawyer to deal with their claim. Only 13 per cent would prefer to deal with a claims handling company. Of those who would prefer to use a personal injury lawyer, a third (33%) find one by asking friends or family, with telephone directories (30%) also a popular source of information.
