Personal Injury Solicitors in Andover

Andover is a Test Valley town at the eastern end of Salisbury Plain, bordered to the south by the A303 trunk road and surrounded by industrial estates. Personal injury claims in Andover can arise from road traffic collisions on the A303 and local roads, as well as from accidents in warehouses, factories and other workplaces, including injuries from lifting or machinery. Solicitors also represent people who trip on pavements or slip in shops and those who suffer serious or life-changing injuries. They handle claims for injured children and claims brought by families after a fatal accident.

Clients usually instruct solicitors under a no-win, no-fee agreement. If the claim succeeds, the solicitor’s success fee is deducted from the compensation, subject to the limit set out in the agreement; if it fails, the client usually pays no fee. Clients should confirm what will be deducted before signing. Claims must normally be started within three years of the incident.

Law firms can investigate the accident, gather evidence, arrange medical reports and pursue interim payments from the insurer while treatment is ongoing.
