This is an online guide for those who are searching for a no win no fee solicitor covering Ashton-under-Lyne. If you have been affected by the negligence of a third party, you may have experienced a plethora of injuries or suffering ranging from physical to psychological, minor to major. When circumstances such as these occur, the affected party may have grounds to make a claim. Our panel of no win no fee solicitors have the expertise and know-how to handle a variety of compensation claims, ranging from medical negligence, road traffic incidents, to those injured by a criminal injury.
When claiming compensation, it is worth remembering that all potential cases could be affected by a compensation claims time limit. Depending on the type of claim you wish to make, the time limit could vary. For example, a personal injury claims time limit is typically three years, whereas a criminal injury compensation claim is two years. These time limits come into action from the moment of the negligent act, or alternatively, they begin once injuries or suffering, such as PTSD or psychological distress have been officially diagnosed.
For more information regarding time limits and whether you have an eligible claim, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our friendly advisors can answer any questions that you might have and can provide you with free, legal advice of no obligation.
No Win No Fee – What Does This Mean For My Claim?
If you wish to make a claim for compensation, a solicitor from our panel could offer a no win no fee agreement. This arrangement may also be referred to as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) that acts as a contract between the claimant and the solicitor.
Upon the grounds that a claim is valid, a no win no fee agreement could reduce the threats to claimants finances and provide them access to free legal advice. If a solicitor proceeds with a claim that results in a successful outcome, then the claimant will then be required to pay a “success fee” that is subsidised from the final settlement. In all cases, this fee is capped at 25% by law but can be discussed in greater detail upon meeting.

Medical Negligence Claims Examples
In most scenarios where medical treatment is provided, the practitioner responsible (whether that involves a doctor, dentist, or a nurse) shall always prioritise the patient’s health and well-being. This is because medical professionals are held to a high code of ethics, which has been outlined by the General Medical Council. This code of ethics ensures that the patient’s dignity, safety, and comfort is always respected and that the healthcare providers fully understand their responsibility to “protect and promote the health of patients.”
In the event of a medical professional neglects their ethical obligation to a patient’s safety, causing an injury or harm, the affected individual could have grounds to claim compensation. Medical negligence examples may include;
- A&E Negligence
- Misdiagnosis
- Surgical Negligence
- Avoidable Birth Injuries
- GP Negligence
- Prescription Negligence
If you have been affected by medical negligence and wish to make a claim, our panel of no win no fee solicitors could assist claimants throughout the legal process.
No Win No Fee Work Accident And Injury Compensation Claims
You employer has a legal and ethical obligation to ensure workplace safety has been achieved and to do so, there are procedures they could perform to highlight hazards ahead of time. Risk assessments, routine inspections and regular housekeeping are some of the most common procedures, as they could highlight and eliminate any hazardous causes before they can develop into something more severe. If an employer breaches this crucial duty of care, it could cause an accident at work, resulting in physical injury, psychological suffering, and a loss of earnings. In the event of a work-related accident, a solicitor from our panel could handle your claim if your employer has failed to:
- Perform A Risk Assessment
- Provide Applicable Training
- Display Correct Lifting Technique
- Assign The Correct Protective Work Gear
- Perform Routine Inspections
- Regularly Perform Housekeeping To Prevent Slipping Hazards
When accidents at work occur, Citizen’s Advice has provided some useful steps that could be considered after an accident. These include:

- Collect The Details Of Those Who Witnessed The Incident
- Seek Medical Advice
- Report The Incident To Your Employer
In the event an employer fails to uphold their duty of care, the affected employee could have grounds to claim compensation. If you are unsure whether you have grounds to make a claim, or alternatively if you wish to ask some questions regarding the claims process, why not contact one of our advisors?
Accident On Holiday Compensation Claims
When travelling for a holiday, the last thing you expect is to be injured by the negligence of another party. But when circumstances such as this occur, the affected individual could be left with physical injuries, psychological suffering, and in some scenarios, unexpected costs. If you experienced an injury during a specific component of your packaged holiday, such as the flight, then you could have grounds to claim against the travel operator back in the UK. In order to make a claim of this nature, you must have experienced an injury, suffering, or financial loss due to the fault of another party. You cannot claim against a tour operator if you were injured outside the confines of your package holiday.
You may also be eligible to claim compensation if you have experienced a delay, a loss of luggage, or an injury due to the negligence of an airline. Under the Montreal Convention (1999), airlines are held accountable for the faults and/or errors on their behalf, allowing customers to claim compensation if they have been subject to third party negligence.
How Do I Claim Criminal Injuries Compensation?

In the event of a violent crime, the solicitors from our panel could assist claimants when presenting a claim through the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (CICA).

Depending on the location where the incident occurs, the liability of the negligence may vary.

Claim Compensation For The Mis Selling Of Financial Services
When seeking the expertise of a financial advisor, they should provide their customers with all the relevant information. This is because a financial advisor is bound by the law to provide factual, earnest, and fully informed advice.

Tenancy Deposit Scheme Compensation Claims
If you have contractually met the obligations outlined within a tenancy agreement, then you should receive your deposit within the allocated timeframe. In most cases, the return timeframe is 10 working days after the tenancy agreement has been terminated. But in the event a landlord fails to return your deposit with valid grounds, then the tenant could have grounds to claim it back from them.
Tenants within a rented property could make a claim for compensation if their landlord has failed to:
- Protect The Deposit Throughout The Tenancy’s Duration
- Submit The Deposit Into A Government Backed Scheme
- Provide The Tenant With Information Regarding Their Deposit
In the event a tenant doesn’t receive their deposit from a landlord, then they could have grounds to claim it back. A no win no fee solicitor from our panel could assist claimants in attaining a settlement that is between one and three times the deposit’s original amount.

If this occurs, then the effected tenant could have grounds to pursue a claim for the negligence they have experienced.
