No Win No Fee Solicitors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a no win no fee claim?

A no win no fee claim is a legal term for a contract with a solicitor which guarantees that you do not have to pay for their time spent if they are not successful in winning your case.

How do no win no fee solicitors make money?

If a claim is unsuccessful and solicitors do not win the case, they do not get paid for the time spent working on it, so they will carefully assess the likelihood of success before contracting to handle a case. On claims that are won, costs and expenses must be paid from the sum awarded, with a contribution towards those possibly come from the other party.

What can I expect at my initial consultation?

In our first no obligation session at your home or our office, or by phone, you tell us exactly what happened to you. We will explain how the law relates to your circumstances and advise if we think that you have a valid claim against another party. We assess your financial losses resulting from your injury. We discuss obtaining medical reports and expert witnesses if necessary. We also advise how long the claims process may take and the options for funding any legal costs and expenses separate to our time (which is paid from the sum awarded if we win).

Is there a time limit?

Generally, a claim can be made up to three years after the date of the injury or from when symptoms are first noticed. For children under 18 a claim can be made any time until they turn 21 years of age. If an injury victim is unable to make the claim themselves due to mental incapacity (pre-dating or because of the injury) there are no time limits on making a claim while they are incapable.

What happens if I lose a no win no fee compensation claim?

If your personal injury claim is not successful then the no-win no fee agreement ensures you will not have anything to pay for our time. You would only be liable to pay for our time if it were found that you would acted dishonestly or maliciously in making the claim or were in breach of your agreement with us.
