Organisations providing free information on accidents and claims

  • Citizens Advice Bureau provides extensive and detailed information.
  • Motor Accident Solicitors Society (MASS) is a non-profit making organisation set up by solicitors specialising in road accidents and compensation claims. Members are bound by a charter setting minimum service standards. The site offers extensive information on what do do if you have an accident, how to make a claim and how fee insurance works. You can locate a local member of the society from the site.
  • Advicenow the independent information service run by the Advice Services Alliance, has launched a guide to claiming compensation on its site here. The guide includes information on how claims management companies work and the real situation with these companies. Advice is given on how to find a suitable solicitor. The guide is in pdf form and can be downloaded without charge.
  • Accident Line was founded in 1994 by the Law Society of England and Wales to encourage claimants to contact an experienced solicitor to get the best advice. It provides a free phone service which puts individuals seeking to make a personal injury compensation claim in contact with a specialist personal injury (PI) solicitor in their locality who will be able to offer a free consultation to determine the viability of the claim. The solicitor will also be able to discuss the various payment options available to the claimant, including conditional fee agreements (also known as 'no-win, no-fee' agreements). The Law Society works with legal services and insurance specialist Abbey Legal Protection to run the insurance supporting the scheme.
  • AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents) is an independent charity which promotes better patient safety and justice for people who have been affected by a medical accident. A 'medical accident' is where unintended harm has been caused as a result of treatment or failure to treat appropriately. This includes where the care has been negligent, but does not necessarily mean that it was. AvMA believes that whatever the cause of a medical accident, the people affected deserve explanations, support, and where appropriate, compensation. The site includes a directory of firms of solicitors they have assessed and approved.
  • Morgan McManus - Clones, Co. Monaghan and Enniskillen, Co.Fermanagh (so, practising both sides of the border) have developed a specialist site on Accident Claims Law and employment law claims. This is not "just" a site about making a claim but deals with such claims from the perspective of both the Plaintiff and the Defendant (the Claimant and the Respondent), the employer and the employee and all other persons who have an interest in ensuring that they are fully informed when they are faced with claims of this nature. This website will be of benefit to a Respondent who is being sued, to the employer who faces a personal injury claim in respect of a factory accident and the employer who is obliged to deal with a grievance or disciplinary matter in the workplace.
