Why Pay 25%?

Company News, Road Traffic Accident Advice, News ArticlesBy Richard Meggitt26/06/2020

Most personal injury firms offer a ‘no win no fee’ scheme for their clients, but what does this actually mean and do all solicitors offer the same terms?   ‘No win no fee’ simply means that if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be charged. Some solicitors do ask their client to pay for…

Accident at Work – what to do next

Law News, Industrial Disease Advice, Serious Injury Advice, Workplace Accidents AdviceBy Richard Meggitt03/04/2020Leave a comment

There’s a lot out there about claiming compensation after an accident at work, so much in fact that you can feel flooded with jargon terms like ‘no win, no fee’, ‘personal injury claim’ and the like. Below is an easy summary of the criterion needed to make a personal injury claim and some advice about how to…

Avoid the Pitfalls of Solicitors Appointed by an Insurer

Company News, News ArticlesBy Richard Meggitt25/06/2014

Injured in a road traffic accident? Within a matter of hours you are likely to be referred by an insurer to a solicitor without even realising it. The solicitors are often owned by an insurer. Your claim will be dealt with by an unqualified claim handler who you will never see and may not be…

Why choose ASD for your personal injury claim? We are solicitors – not a claims management company

Company News, News ArticlesBy Richard Meggitt20/06/2014

The first point of contact for an injured person should be a Solicitor. Sadly since the late 1990s many injury victims have been drawn in to contacting claims management companies. These unqualified claims handlers exist only to make money by selling the details of the injured person to a solicitor. Claims companies often mislead and…

Busting the Mesothelioma Myths

Company News, News ArticlesBy Richard Meggitt17/06/2014

Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer which means information on the disease is not as readily available as other cancers.

Why choose ASD for your personal injury claim? – Home visit by a Solicitor

Company News, News ArticlesBy Richard Meggitt10/06/2014

People making claims for compensation are not usually offered the facility of a face to face meeting with a qualified Solicitor.  Many never meet their Lawyer!  The majority of Solicitors simply send out confusing questionnaires for clients to complete and return. The claim is often dealt with by non-qualified staff.   I do not regard…

Why choose ASD for your personal injury claim? – Medical Experts

Company News, News ArticlesBy Richard Meggitt06/06/2014

Many people that I speak to believe that the value of a personal injury claim is fixed, and not dependent upon the Solicitor that is used. This is fundamentally wrong. The value of a claim is not fixed but is ultimately determined by the quality of the medical evidence obtained. The medical evidence is often…

Company News, News ArticlesBy Richard Meggitt04/06/2014

A recent study by Dutch pulmonologists Dr. Paul Baas and Dr. JA Burgers of AVL/NKI Cancer Center in Amsterdam looked at over 58,000 Dutch construction workers from 1986 to 2007, who were likely to have been exposed to asbestos due to the nature of the projects they had worked on.

Why choose ASD for your personal injury claim? – Financial strength

Company News, News ArticlesBy Richard Meggitt02/06/2014

Why choose ASD for your personal injury claim? – Financial strength Why should the financial position of a personal injury firm matter to a client? You would expect the same results irrespective of the financial strength of the personal injury firm. Unfortunately it does matter. Some Solicitors do not have sufficient funds to pay for…

Mesothelioma in Younger People: What’s the Risk?

Company News, News ArticlesBy Richard Meggitt30/04/2014

TV soap operas are known for their emotional storylines and ITV soap Emmerdale has recently included a storyline which focuses on mesothelioma, bringing attention to a type of cancer which is rarely covered in the media.
