CREDIT HIRE CLAIMS HANDLING SERVICE

 

 

In the present financial climate, organisation and management of claims handling departments can be a disproportionate expense for many credit hire providers.  Fluctuating workloads, training, postage & telephone expenses, and any reduction of solicitor referral fees may affect the viability of such arrangements.  Irrecoverable solicitor and barrister fees can also be a burden.

 

I am a self-employed non-practising solicitor with 15 years experience of dealing with motor claims, 12 of which have involved credit hire claims, including involvement with the early Helphire test cases.  I am fully versed in the relevant credit hire case law, including the Hamco test cases and recent decisions by the Court of Appeal and work with a team of experienced personnel. 

 

We aim to provide a comprehensive small claims handling service to suit your particular needs, whether dealing with a large case load, temporary claims overflow, or a particular class of claims.  We do all the chasing for you, deal with all the third party representatives, liaise with your clients, and finalise settlement details as quickly as possible.  We can:

 

v  Provide a flexible service based on your needs, using your company logo if desired.

v Assess liability and agree possible split settlement proposals.

v Obtain authorisation for repairs and/or vehicle valuations.

v Negotiate settlement of hire charges and uninsured losses based on your instructions.

v Provide regular progress updates by post, telephone, fax, or Email.

v Pass personal injury claims to our Panel Solicitors and return any referral fees to you.

v Process small claims court actions.

 

Please contact me by telephone or Email to discuss whether we can be of assistance to your business.
