If an accident occurred then it used to be the case that the general consensus was just to grin and bear it, chalking it up to one of life’s mishaps. Not so anymore, claims many armchair commentators who claim that we now have 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 their potential clients and that we now live in a state of dependency and a culture of welfare. An insight is offered by Liverpool personal injury lawyer Jeffrey Logan, who is a partner at Liverpool law firm Goodmans.

Many lawyers dispute the claim that the introduction of ‘no win no fee’ claims leads to more frivolous cases and claims, and a general increase in cases on the whole, 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 he personally ensures that Liverpool’s Goodmans law firm does not take on cases that do not have at least a 60% chance of winning; otherwise there would be too much of a financial risk to the company. Logan adds that solicitors now have a vested interest in reducing the amount of expensive delays that such cases can induce.

Regrettably, the public image of this supposed ‘compensation culture’ is still alive and kicking, with the press perpetuating the negative stereotype of a victim slipping on some inconsequential object and claiming thousands in compensation against somebody or an organisation.

This can spark many feelings in the reader, with the main two being outrage or envy, perhaps causing the 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.

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