<p><a href="/">2. What is a personal injury?</a></p>
<p><a href="/">3. What action can I take?</a></p>
<p><strong>4. How do I choose a solicitor?</strong></p>
<p>If you want to consult a solicitor to claim compensation, you should get advice from one who sepcialises in personal injury cases. You can find specialist solicitors through:</p>
<ul>
<li>the Comminity Legal Service;</li>
<li>the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL);</li>
<li>the Law Society;</li>
<li>a Citizens Advice Bureau or law centre;</li>
<li>your trade union, if you have one.</li>
</ul>
<p>See '<a href="/">Further Help</a>' for how to contact these organisations.</p>
<p>If you have legal expenses insurance, your insurers may want to appoint a solicitor to handle your case. If you want to choose your own solicitor, ask them to speak to your insurance company.<br/></p>
