Solicitors and Professionals
A good question to ask when determining whom to ask regarding your accident at work claim is whether or not you should consult a professional or just a law school student. Although people who have the luxury of such a choice are rare since not many people have acquaintances or relatives studying law, it is still pertinent to ask because there are corresponding advantages no matter whom you choose.
For one thing, it is not entirely a bad idea to consult with a law school student because in our educational system, those who have graduated from law-related courses but are still completing their education to become a barrister can offer legal advice even though they cannot offer legal representation yet. Thus, if all you need is advice, then approaching such students can be an enlightening experience. Most of all, such advice can even be dispensed with for free or at a much lower cost than with that of a professional’s. On the other hand, the advantages of asking a professional is that you can be assured that the opinion he will give you is sound and that if you do choose to file a claim that you can trust him to represent you, assuming of course that your case is meritorious.
Vices of Each
It has occurred to not a few that maybe instead of consulting with an accident at work lawyer, they should just approach their relatives or friends currently studying law and ask them whether or not they should file a claim. Aside from the possibility of getting free advice, they could also be enlightened as to their cases’ chances of winning with the same amount of certitude as with a professional. In these senses, asking students may not be a terrible idea.
There are several risks in doing so, however. For one thing, students, as opposed to professionals, do not really possess a complete picture of our jurisprudence yet. Since they are still in the process of learning it, their advice may be imprecise. They might tell you, for example, that you may be compensated for your accident, but this advice may be rendered nugatory without any of you knowing it, because it might be covered by an exception clause, a clause that law school students will not be cognizant of yet except in their final year in law school. This example may be multiplied many times because law school subjects tend to overlap. What is studied now will probably be modified next year. This is a normal process because the law is such a variegated subject and cannot be compartmentalized as neatly as other subjects, such as mathematics or science.
