Few lawyers would want to because the fee they now get after government reforms that favoured insurers (the main paying party in litigation) means they need to deduct up to 25% from the damages which could put them in a situation where they get bad press.Originally Posted by stefmcd
Mrs B is a high level clinical negligence lawyer - your hair would stand on end at some of them - and hates having to take money from clients that has been worked out to the penny for their future needs. Unlike the press ‘compo culture’ headlines, the compensation is calculated purely on putting people back in the position they would have been in had the faults not occurred. It most certainly isn’t a windfall.
