Answer:

Many people are apprehensive about speaking to a scooter accident solicitor – especially young people who have never made contact with a solicitor before. It is understandable that you should be concerned about calling a scooter accident compensation solicitor if you think you may have been partially responsible for the accident, but scooter accident solicitors are not demons who will scold you for not following the correct procedures – after all, how are you to know what the correct procedures are following a scooter accident if you have never spoken with a scooter accident solicitor before?

To put your mind at rest, a scooter accident solicitor is going to ask you whether you exchanged insurance details with the other people involved in the accident, whether the police were called to the scene of your accident and what injuries you sustained. If you do not have the other driver´s details and the police did not attend the accident scene, these are procedures which can be dealt with at a later date. The most important consideration at this stage is that you visited a hospital or your doctors and had a medical examination of your injuries.

The scooter accident solicitor will ask you to recount the details that you can remember about how your scooter accident happened, where it took place and whether you can remember whether there were any witnesses to your accident. Even with a limited amount of information, a scooter accident solicitor may be able to assess whether you have a claim for scooter accident compensation which is worth your while to pursue.

Another reason for young people being apprehensive about calling a scooter injury solicitor is the potential cost. Inasmuch as it is too early to tell whether the scooter accident solicitor will be able to take your scooter accident claim under a “No Win, No Fee” arrangement, most scooter accident solicitors will offer a free assessment of your claim for scooter accident compensation, and it will be in your best interests to have this assessment done at the earliest possible opportunity as your memory of the events is likely to get worse as time passes.
