UK ban on referral fees welcomed by gocompensate.com

The government announced today that referral fees for personal injury claims will be banned bringing an end to the 'compensation culture' in the UK. Many of us may remember the students wearing bomber jackets on our high streets ten years ago who relentlessly pursued anyone wearing a sling, or were walking aided by a stick; later replaced with expensive television advertising campaigns. This activity was funded (handsomely) by the payment from a solicitor to the claims company for the claims referred to them. gocompensate.com was established in January 2011 and now has a network of specialist lawyers throughout the UK providing expert compensation services on a local basis without referral fees. It is our ethos to 'keep claims local' and promote accredited, specialist and ethical claims lawyers. We promote our panel solicitors through a series of websites enabling potential claimants to locate their gocompensate.com solicitor either through a specific injury search, a sector search or through regional claims websites.
