how much is the average cost toof a compensation claim including legal costs etc?

Answer 1

just the same as any toiher comepensation claim
if soemone has done soemthign to you that has cuased you direct tangible losses (say time off work to fix, cost or work undertaken, if it was bad dentistry to start with then arguably the cost of that work and the work required to fix/make good). compensation is meant to be that.. money to compensate you for problems or expenses incurred by the activites of others. its not supposed to be about you or your lawyers making money by fabricating and embellishin the incident

if you have a genuine claim then there should be no need to involve lawyers or accident claim companies.

if you have a genuine claim then make a claim directly against thte parties involved... alll companies have to carry public liability insurance. most insureres. state your claim and your evidence as to why you beleive the other party is liable and see if they or their insurers agree. they'd far rather tdeal with a fellow huiman being that a legal parasite.

generally speaking any compensation claim is paid direct to the person making the claim, the lawyers fees should be paid separately UNLESS the lawyer is acting on a contingent fee basis (ie they takle a percentage of your compensation on success asa payment for their services). but if you are on a contingent fee basis then they should not be charging you anything upfront [you may hioave to pay for reports though])

Answer 2

Nothing if you have a genuine case but the solicitor will decide if the case is worth taking on. No fees are deducted on success of a case and no costs involved if it fails.
