No Win No Fee arrangements, also known as conditional fee agreements are a beneficial option for individuals pursuing personal injury claims.
A conditional fee agreement allows claimants to access legal representation without the burden of upfront legal costs. Essentially, if the case is unsuccessful, the claimant is not required to pay any legal fees, which can be a relief for those concerned about financial risks.
No win no fee
No win no fee arrangements can be used in cases involving:
- Accidents at work
- Road traffic accidents
- Clinical and medical negligence
- Slips or trips in public places.
How does it work?
We offer an initial free consultation where we evaluate your claim to assess its potential for success and determine if we can move forward with your case.
Our initial consultation is designed to provide you with a clear understanding of your claim’s viability before committing to any further action. Our goal is to support you in making an informed decision about how to proceed.
If we believe your claim has a good prospect of success (51% or more), we will accept your claim on a no win no fee agreement.
At the time of taking on your claim, we will take out an insurance policy on your behalf which provides cover for any third-party expenses such as medical reports, court fees etc If you lose your case the insurance premium is written off along with your legal fees. There is no upfront cost for this policy and premium is deducted from your compensation if you win your claim
If you win your case and receive compensation, the defendant will pay the majority of your legal fees leaving you responsible for paying your own solicitor’s success fee and you will need to pay part of the insurance premium.
The solicitor’s success fee is capped at 25% ( inclusive of vat) and is only deducted from the compensation you receive for your injury and any past losses but not future losses.
