How No Win No Fee Claims Work

The premise of no win no fee agreements is quite straightforward: you only have to pay solicitors fees if you receive compensation. When a solicitor agrees to take on your case, after they’ve seen evidence that you’ve been made to suffer because of the negligence of somebody who owed you a duty of care, you’ll both sign a conditional fee agreement (CFA).

The CFA will confirm that the solicitor’s fees will be paid by a ‘success fee’ if you receive compensation. The success fee is a percentage of your compensation that’s deducted before you receive it. The actual percentage will be in your CFA but, by law, it can be no more than 25%.

Before you can begin a no win no fee claim, you’ll to make sure you’re within the time limit for claiming. The personal injury claims time limit is generally 3-years from when you were injured. Other claims have different time limits. If, after reading this guide, you’re not sure how long you have to claim, please call an advisor.

Claiming Compensation For An Andover Car Accident

Road traffic accidents (RTA) can lead to a number of different injuries which our panel of no win no fee solicitors could help you claim compensation for if the accident was caused by another road user. Some of the most commonly claimed for injuries following an RTA include:

  • Broken or fractured bones.
  • Tendon or ligament damage.
  • Neck injuries (including whiplash).
  • Back injuries.
  • Head injuries.

If you are involved in an RTA, you should try and gather evidence quickly because once vehicles are removed, proving who was at fault can be difficult. Therefore, if the accident was caused by somebody else, try to:

  • Speak to witnesses and ask for their details.
  • See if there is any dashcam footage available.
  • Visit the hospital or your GP for treatment.
  • Photograph the scene of the accident. Also, photograph any visible injuries.

Claim For An Accident At Work In The UK

It’s possible to make a claim for an accident at work in the UK if it was caused because of employer negligence.

Failure to do so could result in compensation claim if you and injured in an accident which could’ve been avoided.

Here are some examples of when a claim might be possible:

Other Examples Of Personal Injury Claims

Here are some more claims that a personal injury lawyer could help you make:

  • Injuries in public places.If you are injured in a public place like a shopping centre, on a footpath or in a park, you could sue the local authority (or business owner) responsible for the area if their negligence led to your accident.
  • Slips, trips and falls. When a slip, trip or fall occurs, if it was caused by somebody else’s negligence, you could claim compensation for any injuries. Examples of negligence include trailing cables across corridors, not using warning signs to highlight a wet floor and not repairing broken handrails.
  • Children’s injury claims. If your child suffers because of somebody else’s negligence, you could seek compensation on their behalf at any point before they turn 18.

Mis Sold Pension And Investment Compensation Claims

There are a number of rules regarding the sale of some financial products such as mortgages, pensions, investments and annuities. The rules are managed by the Financial Conduct Authority and cover all financial advisors in the UK. If an advisor doesn’t follow the rules, and you lose out financially, you could be entitled to compensation.

  • Were you put under pressure to make a purchase?
  • Did the advisor only give you one or two products to choose from?
  • Were you advised to move money out of a workplace pension?
