Hey now worries mentioning the helmet thing, we want to know stuff like that.
The solicitor my Mum spoke to yesterday said their fee would be a quarter of the settlement, is that fair enough?
The solicitor my Mum spoke to on Tuesday when my Mum asked about his fee said "Oh don't worry about the fee that comes out of the other guys insurance". But my response to that (I wasn't there at the time I just mean when my Mum told me what he'd said) was what does that mean "it comes out of the guys insurance" cos surely any settlement comes out of the other guys insurance, no?
Thanks so much for the comments so far its all helping begin to understand the process a bit and any further input will be very welcome.
Really feel for you, hope your mum heals up fast.
Slater and Gordon are decent no win no fee solicitors. Your mum has some nasty injurys and will be looking at a good size pay out so they will happily take the case and all costs will be picked up by the drivers insurance.
The drivers insurance will try to knock something for the no helmet thing, DONT ACCEPT THAT, they'll try it on but they will back down as if the case goes to court as they will side with your mum. (Sorry to mention helmet thing, I used to work in injury claims and I know they'll try it on)
