\"\"<\/a>It is more than likely that at some point you have received an unsolicited call inviting you to make a personal injury claim for an accident that may or may not have occurred.<\/p>\n

Cold calling, unsolicited texts and emails give a bad name to those who obtain work from these methods, and that why Tayor&Emmet will never deploy these tactics.<\/p>\n

Who makes these calls?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The chances are that it is a call centre that has acquired your details from a third party. 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\u00a0clients who have changed solicitors and instructed us when they were dissatisfied by the service provided by\u00a0other firms.<\/p>\n

The scale of this practice was revealed in May when Keurboom Communications Limited\u00a0of Dunstable was fined \u00a3400,000 for making over 100 million nuisance calls.<\/p>\n

Why you should instruct your own solicitor.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It is very easy to find a reputable solicitor online so we would always advise you to choose your own. An important part of the personal injury process is the ability to meet with your solicitor, as such it would be preferable to find one in the local area, perhaps that a friend or family member may have used before.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, the solicitors provided as a result of cold calls will probably give you no idea of their competence, location\u00a0or reputation. It could even be your case may be handled by an inexperienced paralegal rather than\u00a0a reputable and qualified solicitor or legal executive.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our team of solicitors have your best interests at heart, and we want to make a difference to your lives, that\u2019s why we rely on upon our reputation. If you wish to speak to one of our team then please call us on 0114 218 4000<\/span><\/strong><\/a> or email info@tayloremmet.co.uk<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
