When a Claimant has been injured as a result of an accident, whether that be at work, in a car or in a public place, and the other party has already accepted the accident was their fault, many insurance panel solicitors or larger firms will often pressurise a Claimant into accepting an offer simply to close the case without any real thought of whether that offer truly compensates the innocent party. Turnover of cases is king to such firms.

This will not happen at Newnham & Jordan Solicitors. We often take over cases from insurance panel solicitors who attempt to pressurise their clients to accept what is known a pre-medical offer or accept offers which fall far short of what their client is perfectly entitled to receive.

You, as an injured party, may still be experiencing symptoms when offers are on the table, even if you have already seen a medical professional. You may not agree with that professional’s opinion and prognosis. The best course of action in such cases would be to send you for another medical examination and obtain a Consultant’s medical report on your injuries which will (a) give a much more detailed prognosis for your health and (b) allow us to determine in much more detail what your injury is actually worth. We at Newnham & Jordan are in a position to do this for you.

Remember, many insurance companies want to keep costs down. A far more detailed report and proper expert advice can ensure that you receive what you are actually entitled to.

We are accustomed to taking over cases from national personal injury firms. If you want to receive the correct amount of compensation for your injury then our personal injury department at Newnham & Jordan is ready to represent you.
