Solicitors Regulation Authority

Personal Injury Accreditation Scheme
This scheme is part of the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s quality strategy to promote quality services across the solicitors profession.

Members must demonstrate through assessment a thorough knowledge of the law and associated rules, regulations and procedures relevant to the practice of personal injury law.

The assessment of members is a thorough one looking at the members character and experience. Members are required to maintain their standards through training and the application of best practice.

Members must also demonstrate a high degree of skill and experience in a number of key areas of personal injury law practice including:

• handling clients
• handling case issues
• drafting documents
• negotiation

They must also have a specialist skill set involving:

• case management
• use of expert witnesses
• assessment of damages
• drafting court documents
• investigation of cases
• representation of persons under a disability
• preparation for trial
