hi
sorry for not being too active on the forums just lately, but my son has been knocked off his scooter by a female who lost control of her car, knocked him down a ditch, and he has now a severe broken leg, a scooter in a million pieces, and he may not be able to work for a year, due to a metal rod being inserted down the length of his leg, and he has also just had a skin graft too.
The police will not give me any details of the woman, just an incident No., but i have been advised by a few people to contact a No Win No Fee solicitor, in search of compensation for damage done, would this be the right approach, or shall i just leave it to the insurance companies to sort it??
any help would be appreciated.
TIA
