Why use a local Solicitor for your personal injury claim?

Aston Knight Solicitors are a specialist personal injury practice based in Bury, Lancashire. At Aston Knight Solicitors we have a team of highly experienced solicitors on hand to help victims and their loved ones recover compensation following an injury. Our team of specialist solicitors have acted for hundreds of clients in the Bury area who have been unfortunate to have been a victim of a work injury, a road traffic accident, a slip trip or fall or medical negligence.

At Aston Knight Solicitors, we regularly receive new enquiries from people in the Bury, Radcliffe, Whitefield, Bolton and Rochdale area regarding potential personal injury claims. Our experience has shown that instructing a local solicitor in a personal injury claim can be invaluable to your claim.

 

Being local to you means that means that face to face meeting are easily accessible. You can pop in the office at anytime to meet your qualified solicitor which can be useful when working to deadlines. You will have the opportunity to meet your solicitor and know from the outset who will be dealing with your claim. We offer a personal approach from the start to the conclusion of your case.

We offer value for money. Whilst our premises may be smaller than a national law firm, this means we have more money to spend on the services we provide our clients. We offer no win no fee agreements meaning there is no financial risk to you should your claim not be successful.

It is important to appoint a solicitor of your own choice and not allow your claim to be handled by Claims Management Companies or Insurers. Claims Management Companies are technically not legal professionals and simply offer a claims management service. This means once they have the details of your claim, they will sell these details onto a solicitor for the highest price.

By instructing a local solicitor in Bury you will avoid there being any conflict of interest. In many cases if you use a solicitor or claims management company recommended by your insurer the insurance company may have a vested financial interest in pushing you towards a particular panel firm because it may be that the insurer will receive a fee from that firm for generating the business for them.

Being local often means your solicitor will have local knowledge of the place where the accident happened which will make it easier and faster for them to understand and investigate the circumstances of your accident. We will also be familiar with your local court which sometimes can be tactically beneficial.

Instructing a local solicitor in Bury also helps to support and enhance the local economy.
