Liverpool Injury Lawyer Offers Opinion On The Situation Of Success-based Compensation Claims

Some time ago, it was the case that if an accident occurred then most people would just grin and bear it, chalking it up to one of life's mishaps. Armchair commentators are claiming that this is not the case anymore, and that we now live in a state of dependency, a culture of welfare and a vast amount of the population cashing in on the 'no win no fee' offers that many internet and high street law firms are promising anyone who visits them. Jeffrey Logan, a Liverpool personal injury lawyer who is a partner at Liverpool law firm Goodmans offers his view on these claims.

While it does seem that the introduction of 'no win no fee' claims would lead to more frivolous cases and claims, and a general increase in cases on the whole, many lawyers dispute this claim, as they claim that lawyers act as a a filter to make sure that cases that don't have any hope of winning do not make it to court.

Logan states that there would be too much of a financial risk to the company unless he personally ensured that Liverpool's Goodmans law firm does not take on cases that do not have at least a 60% chance of winning. Logan adds that is now possessed by solicitors in reducing the amount of expensive delays that such cases can induce.

Unfortunately the public image of the negative stereotype of a victim slipping on a banana skin or some other inconsequential object and suing somebody or an organisation for thousands remains, with the press perpetuating this supposed 'compensation culture'.

This can ignite a range of feelings in whoever is reading it, with the main two being outrage or envy; maybe a knock on effect occurs, causing them to make their own frivolous claim themselves in the hope of receiving a large cash pay out.

As one of the UK's major cities, Liverpool has its own share of these problems; Goodmans is only one of many of the cities law firms that are inundated with huge amounts of claims on a day to day basis. As Logan says, much of the personal injury lawyers' time is spent filtering through each claim and deciding which are relevant and appropriate to present to a court of law.

However, another Liverpool injury lawyer, Ian Cohen has claimed that the new government law that has been instated regarding the way in which hospitals should be cleaned could lead to a higher amount of 'super bug' claims as they will allow a new test of competence against which personal injury lawyers could measure the cleanliness and general upkeep of hospitals.

Despite all these accusations of false and unnecessary claims, if you genuinely feel that you have suffered an injury that was not your fault and deserve compensation, then contact a Liverpool personal injury lawyer today for some legal advice that could lead to a court win for your damages.
