Any personal injury lawyers here?
Discussion
I'd like to speak with a personal injury lawyer but don't really know where to start as I'd like to avoid the types that advertise on National TV.
I've got a potential claim and the company involved has admitted liability. However, it's a bit of an odd one and would like to discuss it quickly.
Is anyone a lawyer or do you know of a good one that would give me 10 minutes on a call?

OK I have experience of them. Carefully read any T&Cs sent. No win no fee doesn't mean no fee to some.
They might still have 'admin fees'.
After speaking to 3. One thought I'd have a fight on my hands as the council only accept blame in 15% of cases and then they'd go to court. The solicitor said they'd bail at that point.
Another who sent t&Cs was dodgy.
The third wanted to completely reset my claim to ground zero and conduct all sorts of medical and physcological tests. At this point the council had already admitted liability to me direct.
Their angle was let's take them to the cleaners but it'll take 1yr+.
I carried on alone. Just go in eyes wide open. Really open. Don't instruct them at any point or any leading words on the phone until you've seen the T&Cs.
Just to add - the quality bar set must be pretty low. I wasn't impressed with any of them. I was approaching my incident in a methodical, common sense manner focusing on legal and expectations etc. I was under the impression they were more ballsy sales types who throw something to see what sticks.
