Q. I cannot afford to pay a solicitor to act for me. Do I need any money to claim through ACS ?
A. No. With our compensation service you will never need any money to make a claim.

Q. What if my claim is unsuccessful ?
A. Because we work on a No Win, No Fee basis, you will not pay a penny if you lose. The service is entirely RISK FREE to you.

Q. How long do I have to make a claim?
A. Three years from the date of any accident, 2 years from the date of a criminal injury.

Q. My own local solicitor says he can help me, why should I use ACS?
A. All our solicitors are accident specialists, not “Jack of All Trades”. Very few firms specialise in this type of work and by using someone who doesn’t exclusively handle claims, you risk losing some or all of your compensation. Also, you may be charged a fee whether you win or lose.

Q. I don’t know if I have a claim?
A. Call us free, use our callback facility or claim online and we will do the rest. We will assess your case and advise you if it is worthwhile pursuing. If so, we will make all the necessary arrangements. It couldn’t be simpler.

Q. How much will I get ?
A. Injury compensation for your pain and suffering is based on the severity of the injury, and how long it takes or will take to recover fully. Awards can be anything from a few hundred pounds for very minor injuries, to millions for severely disabling injuries. Also,
the effect on your past and future earnings has to be taken into account along with other things such as the cost of necessary care. Our solicitors will guide you through the process and assess the likely value of your case as they proceed. They are highly trained experts who are familiar with all the things which will form part of your compensation and will obtain the best possible result for you.

Q. How long will it take ?
A. Again, this depends on how serious your injuries are and how long it takes to recover. The sooner you make the claim, the sooner you will receive any compensation due. Don’t delay, contact us today.
