Why go direct to a Solicitor and Not a Claims company?

Some of the things we hear about and have seen in relation to Claims Management Companies are:
1) They receive a substantial amount of money from the solicitor when they pass on your case to them.
2) They also sometimes take a cut of your compensation!
3) They promise you free hire cars and sign you up to Credit Hire agreements the cost of which sometimes cannot be fully recovered from the other side and ultimately you are liable for! In fact we know of some people that have been taken to Court and have had judgments made against them which cause many problems for them later when borrowing money or applying for a mortgage.
4) In one particular case the Claims Management Company was under investigation by the Police for fraud as they had been suspected of making fraudulent claims. This meant that hundreds of innocent peoples claims were also put under doubt and many insurance companies refused to pay them out.
These are just a fraction of some of the horror stories we hear.
Why go direct to a Solicitor?
1) You get to choose who will act for you in your case.
2) You get to see your lawyer face to face.
3) Solicitors are regulated by the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) whom you can complain to if you are unhappy about the service provided.
4) Solicitors can act for you on a No Win No Fee basis.
5) You get the personal service and dedication you deserve.
There is little point having to pay a claims management company for passing on your details to a solicitor when you can go direct. When you hurt yourself you don't go to a middle man - you go straight to the Doctor! Why is there any difference here?
