Ambulance Chasers!

About 2 years ago I was in a my fault accident where I hit a minibus (light hit, just metal damage and no injuries on the bus before calls of moron!). This morning I had a call from CCS solicitors asking if myself or my passenger wanted to make a claim, as my details had been passed onto them from my insurance company as I was not at fault (read opening line again for first **** up). They said they could get between £3k and £5k for 'aches and pains' following the accident.

WTF? My insurance company phones a solicitors and says 'take us for another £10k or so by adding injury claims to the case'? Why do I doubt this? Second **** up! Where do the claims solicitors get off and go back to the pit they came from?

No wonder insurance premiums are going through the roof with antics like this going on. What can be done (at an industry level) to stop these muppets?

in any personal injury case, results should be either win or death

That'd soon get that gripped

Problem solved!
Fancy a job as PM? Job might become vacant soon

Why is a PI solicitor, in your opinion, any better or worse than one specialising in wills or in crime?

Do you think that if someone has suffered an injury that has negatively impacted their life, and that injury is the fault of the negligence of someone else, that it is unfair that the injured person should ask to be put back in to the situation they would have been if not for the other's stupidity?

Don't know about you but I have yet to meet/hear about a solicitor in the area of wills who cold calls possible customers with bad information (read OP) and when they do get business hike charges so high their fees are often x2 of the job they did.

'Here is your will for your £150k estate. Give me $25k for my time and effort'. Even that would be laughed at, but instead they are even worse.
