Research has shown (Law Society Strategic Research Unit report of November 2006) that the 2 main reasons for injured parties to use a solicitor to make their claim are (1) that they thought they would be treated more fairly as a result, and (2) they felt that the process was too complicated for them to deal with. In the world of modern litigation it is possible to pursue a claim without having to pay any costs of this as long as you instruct your solicitor on a conditional Fee Agreement (generally referred to as a "no-win, no-fee" agreement) backed with a policy of legal expenses insurance.
If you run the case yourself you run the risk of losing the case due to lack of knowledge of the rules and/or having to pay the other side's legal costs no matter what happens. Why have a dog and bark yourself? Why take the risk on costs when you can use a solicitor and have none?
We act under no-win, no-fee agreements backed by insurance. If your current solicitor will not then ask why. If they believe in your case they should back you. If they do not believe in your case then why are they taking your money?
