Why Make Your Claim With A No Win No Fee Solicitor

A major benefit of using a no win no fee solicitor is the fact that the financial risk involved is reduced. That’s because, when you sign a contract with them, known as a conditional fee agreement (or CFA), it will clearly state that you won’t pay any solicitors fees unless you are awarded compensation. If you do receive a compensation payment, the CFA will explain that you need to pay a success fee. This is a percentage of your compensation which will be deducted automatically before the rest is sent to you.

As the solicitor doesn’t get paid unless they’re successful, they have to select which cases they’ll take on. If you can answer yes to the following statement, you could be eligible to make a no win no fee claim:

  1. Were you made to suffer;
  2. By somebody who owed you a duty of care;
  3. Because they were negligent?

The suffering could be in the form of financial losses, psychological or physical injuries. Also, before taking on your claim, you’ll need to ensure you’re within the relevant time limit. In general, these are:

  • Personal injury claims time limit – 3 years.
  • Criminal injuries compensation claim – 2 years.
  • Financial mis-selling claims – varies, please call an advisor.
  • Package holiday claims – 3 years.

If you’re in any doubt about whether you have time to make a claim or not, please call and check with a member of our team.

Glenrothes Road Crash And Accident Claims

Injuries caused in a  road traffic accident could lead to a compensation claim if it was caused by another road user’s negligence and caused you to suffer an injury. The types of injury you could claim for include head injuries, cuts and bruises, back injuries, broken bones, whiplash and neck injuries.

Something to remember if you’re going to want to make a car accident compensation claim is that you’ll need evidence to support your claim. It’s therefore important to act quickly because when the scene of an accident has been cleared, it becomes trickier to prove what happened.

Therefore, if you’re involved in road traffic accident in Glenrothes, you should try to:

  • Take pictures of the scene of the accident.
  • Seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
  • Ask any witnesses to provide their details for any future statements.
  • See if there is any dashcam footage.
  • Get the details of the other driver and vehicle involved.

No Win No Fee Glenrothes Accident In The Workplace Claims

That means they should risk-assess the workplace and reduce any hazards by making appropriate changes where possible. You might be able to make an accident in the workplace claim if you were injured because of:

  • A generally unsafe workplace (damaged floors, electrical hazards etc).
  • Damaged or unmaintained machinery.
  • Unsuitable or missing protective equipment.
  • A lack of proper training.

No Win No Fee Claims For An Accident On Holiday Abroad

A personal injury lawyer could help you if you suffer an accident on holiday abroad which was caused by somebody else. If you booked your holiday through a package holiday provider, then you claim against them if the accident occurred while using one of the services purchased from them. If your holiday was booked independently, you could still claim but against the business or person responsible.

The types of holiday accident claim you could make when you have been injured through no fault of your own include:

Glenrothes Criminal Injuries Compensation Claims

Another type of claim you could make is when you’ve been injured during a violent crime against you.

Here are some key points regarding CICA claims:

  • You must have reported the crime to police.
  • Compensation amounts are reduced on a sliding scale when you have multiple injuries. Only the most severe injury will receive 100% of the compensation available.
  • There is a 2-year time limit for making a claim (although this might be waived for historic or extreme cases).

More Local Area Injury Claims

Here are some more personal injury claims you could make:

  • Accident claims involving children – A parent can represent a child at any point before they turn 18. If that doesn’t happen the victim can claim themselves between their 18th and 21st birthday.             
  • Public place accidents – If you’re injured in a public place, and if the accident was caused by the business or local authority responsible for the area, you could sue them for compensation.
  • Slip, trip or fall claims – When you’re injured during a slip or fall caused by negligence (i.e. uneven flooring, trailing cables, blocked passageways), you could make a claim against the person responsible.

Mis Sold Sipp, Pension, Or Annuity Compensation Claims

  • Your deposit wasn’t paid into an appropriate TDS within 30 days.
  • The landlord failed to inform you which scheme they’d used.
  • Or they took the deposit out of the TDS before your tenancy came to an end.
