No Win No Fee Claims, the ins and outs of it all

The act of a no win no fee claim was brought about with the abolishment of legal aid. Legal aid meant that only a certain amount of people were able to put in claims for compensation as only a certain amount could afford it, but not anymore. A no win no fee claim means that everyone in the UK has a fair chance to secure the compensation that they are entitled to after an accident that wasn’t their fault.

No matter what your financial situation is everyone has a fair chance for a compensation claim thanks to the introduction of no win no fee claims. When you first speak to a solicitor about putting a claim in for compensation you will be asked to sign a no win no fee agreement meaning whether your case is a success or not your personal injury solicitor does not have the right to charge you fees. this agreement benefits you greatly as it means your solicitor only gets paid if your case is a success so you know that they will do everything in their power to ensure that it is.

People are often suspicious of no win no fee claims as they think there is a catch attached to them as no one would work on your behalf with the risk of getting nothing in return. Well I can tell you now there is no catch; there is however the possibility of other fees emerging other than your solicitors fees, these are known as disbursements and cover aspects such medical records and experts opinions; however your solicitor will provide another service if these fees arise meaning you really don’t have a penny to pay when it comes to your no win no fee claim. 

In the case of disbursements and certain circumstances your solicitor may advise you to take out After Event Insurance. This insurance will cover the cost of any disbursements that you have to pay. To ensure that you really don’t have anything to pay when it comes to your no win no fee claim your solicitor will also take this insurance out for you.

A no win no fee claim means you can claim personal injury compensation after accidents such as road traffic accidents, accidents in the work place, accidents in public and slip, trips or falls, basically any accident that you suffer that was caused through no fault of your own.
