Hi all,
Just looking for general advise really, solicitor not much help and not returning calls.
I have a claim in with PIAB for a RTA in Sept 2008 through a solicitor. I know that the claim is to be resolved by June 2010 (i.e. this month), I know this as a letter received about 2 months ago from PIAB stated so. I have not had any notification about extending the period by another 6 months (which they can do).
Can anyone advise me on what happens from here?
1) Will my solicitor just call me one day with the result or will I receive it in writing from PIAB?
2) I know my solicitor will look for payment once the offer has been accepted and the High Court is ruled out. What is the average cost? A rough range would help, I know it varies. Solicitor is a close family friend and said they would take care of it but I wouldn't put it past them to grossly overcharge tbh. He/she's been dreadful to deal with and very sloppy, delaying everything unless I breathe down their neck.
3) If the offer is not satisfactory can I dispute it with PIAB or does it have to go to the High Court?
If anyone has been through this part before and can give me a run-down of what to expect please advise me
