Please Note:

This accident at work site has been devised to provide mere guidance on various personal injury topics. It is always recommended to seek professional legal advice from an experienced solicitor.

The posting “How to Find a Solicitor” provided a few insights into the basic steps taken to find a solicitor that can take on a work accident compensation claim. This posting is looking specifically at accident at work solicitors that have the Lexcel Accreditation Award. To explain just what this is, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is the regulatory body for solicitors in England and Wales. The SRA is a part of The Law Society, although it operates separately from it. The Law Society represents solicitors in England and Wales and awards the highest quality legal firms with what is called Lexcel Accreditation that signifies the highest management and customer care standards. If you use an accident at work solicitor that has this award, then there will certainly be some real value in the service that is on offer to you.

By all means, a solicitor firm that has achieved Lexcel Accreditation would not necessarily be better than a firm without this Award, but this Accreditation certainly acts as a good indication and mark of quality. You should of course look out for a solicitor with this Accreditation that is specialised in the area of law of personal injury that is associated with accident at work compensation claims. Since work accident solicitors work in the field of personal injury, it is likely that the majority of the firms listed would offer a 100% no win, no fee service. This free legal process would include a free initial consultation and so the work accident claim process would be completely free from start to finish. In regards to personal injury solicitors UK, England and Wales are only covered. With personal injury solicitors in Scotland, I am unaware if there is any similar marking in place, but The Law Society of Scotland does allow you to carry out a basic search for solicitors on their site.
