Many people in Britain are concerned about the growing compensation culture in the country, as television stations constantly air commercials by injury lawyers.
However, for many people litigation was unreachable due to the cost and legal aid being withdrawn for personal injury claims.

Back in the "good old days" (good for claims management firms anyway) with companies like Claims Direct and The Accident Group selling ATE insurance policies for £1500 or £2000 to unwary clients, the rich got richer and the victims got poorer. With such over-priced ATE (after-the-event) insurance policies things were bound to go wrong.
These days, you have to actually pay for ATE insurance (normally only around £200-£400 depending on the case) but if the case loses you have no more to pay, even if your lawyer's bills are in the tens of thousands. If the case wins, the losing third party will pay for the ATE insurance as a legal cost.

You hear 100% compensation a lot on the TV but often don't read the small print. Here are some sites offering 100% compensation and/or information on such, but be sure and check out the terms and conditions as the slogans don't always apply to your claim type. Finding a solicitor with the best terms for things like criminal injuries or medical negligence claims is a different ball game.
