Public benefit from crackdown on claims incentives

Aug. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- There will be greater reason for members of the public to approach a solicitor directly in future with new rules set to outlaw incentives on offer from claims management companies to lure new clients.

The Claims Management Regulation’s (CMR) new rules, which come into force from April 2013, will take action to ban any Claims Management Companies from offering incentives such as cash, shopping vouchers and goods to induce members of the general public to make a claim through them.

The move is designed to address growing concerns that the incentives offered encourage people with weaker claims to sue for their own gain rather than be advised on the strength of their case.

The new regulation should encourage members of the general public with potential claims to approach specialist claims solicitors for advice rather than approach an intermediary like a claims management company.

If you believe you have a claim, why not by-pass a claims management company and contact Francis Alexander Solicitors, a firm who have many years experience of handling such cases. Call 0161-432-3633 or visit http://www.fasclaim.com/news/public-benefit-crackdown-cla... for the full article.
