The UK has recently been hit by a staggering number of unsolicited personal injury compensation messages. In just one year, 134 million of these messages inundated individuals across the country.
You will never receive one of these unsolicited calls from us. These unsolicited messages are a clear violation of privacy laws. The recipients have not given their consent to receive such communications, and their personal information has been obtained and misused without their knowledge or permission.
But who makes these unsolicited calls?
The chances are that it is a call centre that has acquired your details from a third party. If you were involved in an accident to which the call/text/email relates and whilst it may seem convenient that somebody appears to be taking an interest in your case and is on your side, you should proceed with caution. We have come across many clients who have changed solicitors and instructed us when they were dissatisfied by the service provided by a firm they were introduced to by such approaches.
The scale of this practice was revealed in May 2017 when Keurboom Communications Limited of Dunstable was fined £400,000 for making over 100 million nuisance calls.
Why you should instruct your own solicitor.
It is very easy to find a reputable solicitor and we would always advise you to choose your own, preferably one that you have used before or who has been recommended to you by a previous client.
The solicitors provided as a result of cold calls will probably give you no idea of their competence, location or reputation. It may well be that your case will be handled by an inexperienced paralegal rather than a reputable and qualified solicitor.
Our team of personal injury lawyers have your best interests at heart, and we want to make a difference to your lives, that’s why we rely on upon our reputation.
