Many people worry that making a claim for accident compensation following a car crash may result in legal fees which are greater than the compensation award itself. There may be a concern that their insurance premiums could rise in the future because of their action in bringing a case.
How much of my compensation will I have to pay in costs?
The law surrounding civil litigation has undergone a change recently. The Courts are now able to make an award for costs to the winning side in addition to their compensation. This means that it is no longer necessary for you to pay for your legal representation out of your accident compensation. Therefore, if your award is, for example, £3,000, then that is the amount that you’ll keep – all of your solicitor’s fees and costs are paid in addition to this.
Will my car insurance premiums go up?
Making a claim for accident compensation should not make your premiums go up. As long as the accident that you were hurt in was not your fault, then it is the responsibility of the other party’s insurers to cover the cost of your accident compensation. So you’ll be able to keep a clean insurance record.
