Why make your own claim for compensation
Some years ago legal aid was abolished for much civil legal work including personal injury, and the conditional fee agreement, commonly known as "no win no fee" was indroduced to give greater access to legal services for compensation claimants. This change spawned a major industry where according to a report by Lord Justice Jackson there are "middlemen" who push costs up, such as claims management companies who take fees of up to £1,000 to refer cases to solicitors; or medical report companies who are paid more than the doctor who produces the report. So now in many cases the legal costs involved in many small and medium sized claims are even greater than the value of the compensation itself, helping to increase insurance premiums. Claimants are also often exposed to the need to take out After The Event (ATE) insurance, and, even so, they may still be at risk of bearing costs themselves.
