Anon 15:41 - your comment is unclear. Do you mean it is down to solicitors that injured claimants are claiming? Or, that people do not actually have a genuine need to claim compensation?

Either seems a bit, well, odd.

I had one client who instructed me the day after limitation - he had issued the claim himself. He succeeded as he ought to have done.

I have another client who has instructed me 2 months prior to limitation, and this is in respect of an RTA accident (where both cars were destroyed, not just written off) where the defendant insurer (a perfectly nice chap) said that they had anticipated a claim over 2 years previously.

I dunno. I think notify as soon as a claim is in the offing. If the medical position takes a long time to resolve, so be it. Just make it illegal to make any offers before the claimant says their evidence is complete.
