My brother was involved in a serious road traffic accident and was awarded a substantial amount.
When the solicitor sent him his cheque, solicitor had deducted over 5k in fees. My brother had assumed that all costs and fees had been paid separate to his award. His solicitor told him that his fee was deducted from this award. Surely this should have been separate!
This case was settled ''on the steps of the court'' and was over 10 years ago!
I would have thought that the amount the solicitor told him he was awarded at the four courts was what he should have received!
Any views appreciated!
