FAQs
WHY IS BOYES TURNER DIFFERENT?
We can do more to assist in the processing and financing of claims than ever before, and have members on all the specialist solicitor panels. Through dedicated personal attention, listening and understanding, we will do everything we can to achieve the results you need.
THERE ARE SEVERAL LAW FIRMS OUT THERE WHO SAY THEY CAN HELP ME - WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE BOYES TURNER?
Boyes Turner is one of the UK's largest and most successful industrial disease law firms based outside of London. Our specialist teams continue to achieve the highest ratings possible from the legal directories - Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession and The Legal 500.
A key reason for this is the access to specialist services and legal advice that we provide. Our dedicated Industrial Disease team, one of the most experienced in the country, is nationally recognised for its handling of complex and substantial industrial disease cases.
SHOULD I USE ONE OF THE LARGE LAW FIRMS? SURELY THEY'LL BE MORE EXPERIENCED WITH MORE SPECIALISTS?
This is a common question. Larger law firms are actually more likely to have fewer specialists and more generalists to whom clients are often handed down. Industrial disease cases can be very complex and it takes specialists with years of experience to navigate through the maze of legal issues that such cases bring to the fore. At Boyes Turner you will be cared for by a dedicated expert from start to finish.
NO WIN, NO FEE, DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN THAT MONEY WON'T BE TAKEN FROM MY COMPENSATION DOES IT?
Boyes Turner operates a No Win, No Fee, No Deductions policy. This means that you can rest assured that the compensation you are awarded is the money that you will take home. This is not the case with all firms or claims companies, who will often deduct their fees from YOUR compensation or insist that you take out expensive insurance policies.
IF I CHOOSE TO GO WITH YOU WILL I HAVE TO SPEAK TO LOTS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE?
Having to repeatedly tell your story to different people is not only time consuming, but also very fustrating. We understand this, and that is why we ensure that whoever deals with your case will run it from start to finish. That way you can rest assured that you will not find yourself having to repeatedly re-tell your story.
I AM THINKING ABOUT USING A CLAIMS COMPANY - IS THE PROCESS FASTER? WOULD I NOT GET MORE COMPENSATION?
Anybody who owns a TV will have seen the ads where claims companies promise huge compensation payouts. In reality these payouts are few and far between. This is because the solicitors working for these firms are generalists. This means that the same person who dealt with a slip or trip, could be dealing with your industrial disease case, which is likely to be much more complex and require a completely different set of skills. The process is unlikely to be faster for this same reason.
I AM HAVING A REALLY TOUGH TIME, AND SOMETIMES IT ALL FEELS LIKE TOO MUCH. THAT PUTS ME OFF MAKING A CLAIM, AS I DON'T FEEL STRONG ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH THE COURTS.
Above all, we are all too aware of the physical, emotional and financial distress which such a diagnosis causes to both you and those who are close to you. We offer the very best in terms of support and guidance at this difficult time.
