No Win No Fee Compensation Claim
What is a No Win No Fee Accident Injury Claim?
Since the abolition of Legal Aid in the vast majority of cases involving compensation for personal injury, solicitors are now able to act on what is known as a ‘no win, no fee’ basis. These are also referred to as conditional fees and basically mean that the solicitor only gets his/her fees paid if the claim is successful.
Do I Pay Legal Costs if my Compensation Claim is Successful?
No, you pay nothing.In England, Scotland and Wales the successful party is entitled by law to recover their legal costs from the losing party. Therefore if you win you claim for compensation you are compensated as follows:
- Damages for your injuries
- Damages for your other losses (wages etc)
- Your Legal fees
Do I Pay my Legal Costs if I lose my Accident Compensation Claim?
No. If our solicitors do not win your claim then they are not entitled to recover their fees.
Do I Pay the other side if I lose my Accident Claim?
Yes – but only if you lose once court proceedings
have started. You will however be fully insured against this risk.
