Personal Injury Solicitors in Basingstoke

Basingstoke is a Hampshire town near junctions 6, 7 and 8 of the M3 and a few miles from the start of the A303. It has regular train services to London Waterloo. Personal injury claims in Basingstoke can result from collisions on the motorway and ring roads involving drivers, motorcyclists or cyclists. They can also arise from workplace accidents in offices, warehouses and on construction sites, as well as from slips and trips in shops and car parks. Solicitors represent people with serious head or spinal injuries and children hurt in accidents. They also handle fatal accident claims for bereaved families and claims for injuries suffered on holiday abroad.

Claims are usually pursued under a no-win, no-fee agreement. If the claim succeeds, the solicitor deducts a success fee from the compensation, within the limit set by the agreement; if it fails, the client generally pays the solicitor nothing. Strict time limits apply, usually three years from the injury.

Solicitors can gather evidence, consult medical experts, assess lost earnings and future care needs and negotiate with the insurer.
