How Will My No Win No Fee Claim Work?

When a no win no fee solicitor takes on a claim, they have to be sure there’s a chance of winning compensation for their client. Otherwise, they risk not being paid for their work. Therefore, to be eligible to claim, you’ll usually need to show that:

  • You have suffered (either financially, physically or psychologically);
  • By somebody else’s negligence;
  • And that person owed you some form of duty of care.

If the solicitor agrees you have a valid claim, you’ll both sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). The CFA explains clearly that there are no solicitor’s fees to pay unless you receive compensation. If your case is won, the CFA will detail what ‘success fee’ you’ll pay to cover the solicitor’s work.

Success fees are a fixed percentage of your compensation, limited to 25%, which is deducted before you receive your payment.

Another consideration you’ll need to be aware of prior to a claim is that there are time limits for doing so. Here are some general examples:

  • Criminal injury claims (CICA): 2 years.
  • Personal injury claims time limit: 3 years.
  • Package holiday accident claims: 3 years.

Other claims such as financial mis-selling have varying time limits. If you’re unsure whether you’ll be able to claim, please call our team for free legal advice.

Claim Compensation For A Work Accident In Barry

Did you know that your employer has a duty of care to keep you safe and well while at work? The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places an onus on business owners to assess their workplace regularly and reduce any risks where possible by making the relevant changes.

Therefore, you might be able to make a claim if you have been involved in an accident at work which was caused by:

  • Inadequate training for you or a colleague who caused your accident to happen.
  • No knowledge of the company health and safety procedures.
  • Unmaintained or faulty equipment.
  • Insufficient personal protective equipment (PPE).

If you are worried that you might be disciplined or sacked for beginning a claim, don’t worry. It’s illegal for employers to take action against you for claiming. Therefore, please call to discuss claiming the compensation you might be entitled to.

Claim Compensation If Injured On Holiday

When an accident happens abroad, the costs involved with arranging treatment or re-arranging travel plans can become quite expensive. While you might be able to claim these costs back through your holiday insurance, you could be able to make a compensation claim for your injuries using one of our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Barry, Wales when you return home.

Some potential holiday claims include:

  • Hotel accident claims.
  • Hire car or hotel transfer accident claims.
  • Airport or inflight accident claims.
  • Food poisoning claims.
  • Accidents during an excursion or activity claims.
  • Cruise ship claims.

If you were injured while using a service provided by a UK-based package holiday provider, the time limit for claiming should be 3-years. Holidays booked independently could have a reduced time limit depending on which country you were holidaying in.

Claim Compensation For A Violent Crime

If you were injured because a violent crime was committed against you, a solicitor wouldn’t usually claim against the criminal. Instead, a claim could be made against the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). They are a government body and are able to make compensation payments for psychological or physical injuries caused by crime.

There is a 2-year time limit for claiming from the CICA scheme but in some circumstances, such as historical sex offences, this could be extended. To be able to claim, you’ll need to have a reference number from the police to prove you reported it to them.

CICA compensates based on the severity of your injuries. In a successful claim, the most severe injury will receive 100% compensation, the next most severe, 30% for the next most severe and then 15% for the third injury.

If you would like help making a CICA claim, please call and speak with our team.

More Personal Injury Claims People Could Make

Here, in brief, are some further personal injury claims you could make:

  • Slip, trip and fall claims – caused by negligence such as slippery floors with no warning signs.
  • Children’s accident claims – parents can claim on their behalf up until they are 18. Please call for advice.
  • Public accidents – accidents in places like parks, car parks or shopping centres could result in a claim against the local authority or business that owns the place if they were negligent and caused the accident to happen.

Claim Compensation For Mis Sold Pensions And Annuities

Mis sold pension annuities, investments or mortgages (and some other financial products), could lead to a compensation claim if the Financial Conduct Authority’s rules were breached and you lost out financially.

  • Assess your health and lifestyle before recommending a product.
  • Offer you a good range of products to choose from.
  • Explain the terms and conditions properly.
  • Tell you about the ongoing fees and charges linked to the product.
