Why Choosing an Independent Solicitor is in Your Best Interest

When faced with a legal issue, particularly in personal injury or other insurance-related claims, many people assume they must use the solicitor appointed by their insurer. However, this is not the case. As a policyholder, you have the right to choose your own solicitor, and there are several compelling reasons why an independent solicitor might be a better choice for you.

Independence and Client-Centered Service

At Hightons Solicitors, we pride ourselves on providing a client-centered service. Unlike solicitors appointed by insurers, we are not affiliated with any shareholders or under any obligations to insurance companies. Our sole focus is on achieving the best possible outcome for you, our client. This independence allows us to offer unbiased advice and representation, tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.

Freedom of Choice

You are under no obligation to use the solicitor appointed by your insurer as part of your legal expenses or insurance policy. Many policyholders are unaware that their legal expenses insurance allows them to choose their own solicitor. This freedom of choice is enshrined in law, ensuring that you can select a legal representative who you feel comfortable with and confident in.

Why It Matters

Choosing an independent solicitor can have several advantages:

1. Personalised Attention: Independent solicitors often provide more personalized attention and take the time to understand the nuances of your case. This can lead to a more effective and tailored legal strategy.
2. Specialised Expertise: Independent firms like ours often have specific expertise in certain areas of law, ensuring that your case is handled by professionals with the relevant knowledge and experience.
3. Objective Advice: Without the influence of insurance companies, independent solicitors can offer objective advice that truly reflects your best interests.
