What You Need To Know About No Win No Fee

What you need to know about such agreements is that if you enter into such an agreement with a personal injury solicitor (or any other kind of compensation solicitor) you will agree to allow them to take a minor portion of your compensation as a “success fee” their payment for their services if you receive compensation. This fee is capped at 25%. However, if you are not granted a compensation sum for a valid claim then your solicitor will not ask you for payment. You can read about no win no fee claims in more detail on this page.

Ellesmere Port No Win No Fee Injury At Work Claims

The first thing you need to know about making an injury at work claim is that it does not affect your employment rights. Your employer cannot sack you simply for making a compensation claim. You have the right to claim for compensation if you have suffered a preventable injury in the workplace or preventable chronic health condition caused by your occupation. Your employer is liable for an injury or health problem if they have failed to provide you with safety gear, proper training or if they have failed to act upon safety issues that were flagged up by you or your colleagues. Your employer could also be liable if you have been diagnosed with stress stemming from an unhealthy workplace culture causing bullying or overwork. If you have been the victim of an assault at work, by a co-worker, customer or someone who should not have been on the premises and it can be proven that your employer could have prevented it by following guidelines on security and training, then you could be eligible for a compensation claim.

Holiday Injury And Flight Delay Compensation Claims

Having to deal with a delayed flight could entitle you to claim for compensation depending on the severity of the delay and the destination of your flight. You can refer to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau for information on this issue. If you are injured or suffer an illness while on holiday you can claim compensation for the loss of enjoyment of your holiday in addition to standard causes of compensation, provided that it can be proven that a third party’s negligence was responsible. Do not be put off by the thought of extra complications in claiming against a foreign business for a holiday that happened abroad. We may be able to provide you with a solicitor from our panel who is versed in the compensation laws of the country where the incident took place.

If you booked a package holiday through a travel operator then that travel agent could be liable for injuries or illnesses caused by negligence in aspects of the holiday that they arranged, such as the flights, the accommodation and any excursions that they may have arranged as part of the package.

Claim For Criminal Injuries In Ellesmere Port

Being the victim of a violent crime can be intensely traumatic and life changing, as well as leaving you with severe injuries. In addition to this, being a witness to an extreme violent crime, such as a murder or attempted murder, can also be a traumatic experience. Because of this, you could be eligible to claim criminal injury compensation if there is proof you have been affected by a violent crime. Victims of criminal injury could have the right to make a claim against Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). Our panel of solicitors can handle a CICA claim for you providing the claim is made within the 2-year claims time limit.

Not all CICA claims have to be for recent crimes or within the time limit though, if you have suffered rape or sexual abuse, even if it was a case of historical abuse, you could be eligible for victim compensation. You could receive compensation for the effects of lasting psychological trauma stemming from rape or sexual abuse. Please contact our advisors for more information.

Different Types Of Accidents Which Could Happen In Ellesmere Port

Many different types of accidents and injuries could make you eligible for compensation if it can be proven that they were caused by third party negligence. For example you could claim compensation if you were injured while playing sports. If you have suffered an injury while playing football because of a poorly maintained pitch then you could claim against the body or person(s) responsible. You could also claim compensation if you injured yourself while exercising in a gym due to faulty equipment or poor training.

An injury you suffer from slipping, tripping and falling could be serious or even life changing. For example a broken kneecap could require surgery to resolve and leave you with arthritis and chronic pain. If the local authority or an organisation that owns property (that is accessed regularly by the public)and it is poorly maintained, then this could cause hazards that result in someone suffering undue harm.

For example you may trip over on broken or ragged carpets, linoleum or other floor coverings while in a shop, and that business could be liable. Your local council could be liable in a personal injury claim if you have tripped and fallen on a pothole in a badly maintained street.

Mis Sold Financial Products Or Services

The Financial Conduct Authority have made it a requirement that when your bank or your financial advisor is offering or selling you a financial product that they give you all the information, clearly and accurately, that you need to make an informed decision in your own financial best interest. If they fail to do so it could be classed as financial mis-selling.

Examples of potentially mis sold products or services could include pension plans, stocks mortgages and insurance policies. A company could mis-sell them to you by not advising you of any and all risks potentially involved in using a certain financial product. By selling you a product that was not suitable for you and your financial situation. By not informing you of certain additional charges and fees or by making you feel pressured or uncomfortable when being asking for your decision to buy or not.

In order for you to have a successful claim for the mis-selling on financial products you must have suffered financially as a result. Please contact us to discuss your circumstances further.

Tenancy Deposit Compensation Claims

There are certain things that a landlord is required to do. If your landlord has withheld your deposit when your tenancy is coming to an end then they could be liable for a compensation claim to be made against them. The law states that a landlord must return your deposit unless there are rent arrears or damage you have caused to the property. Your landlord cannot evict you without providing a reason if they withhold your deposit. The law requires that your tenancy deposit is to be kept in a Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) within thirty days of your landlord receiving it  and that you receive written notice of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme being in place. Failure to do this is also potentially grounds for you to make a compensation claim. The charity Shelter, which deals with housing and homelessness, is a good source for information on your rights as a tenant in these sort of situations. 

If you make a compensation claim against a landlord who is withholding your tenancy deposit and you succeed you could not only have your deposit returned to you, you could also receive compensation worth up to three times as much of the value of your original deposit.

Housing Disrepair Claims By Tenants In Ellesmere Port

Your landlord, housing association or letting agency is responsible for maintaining your housing to a liveable standard. This is because living in accommodation which is in a state of disrepair can pose significant health risks.

  • A housing disrepair can pose the risk of fire, for instance, from faulty electricsssues with your gas pipes can pose a serious threat of gas leaks or fires.
  • Damage or disrepair to your housings gutters, windows or roof can lead to water ingress which can lead to hazardous exposure to damp and mould.
  • If your landlord has supplied the white goods to your housing then they could be liable for any injuries or health problems caused by faults in these appliances.

Note that your landlord, housing association or letting agency can’t be held responsible for disrepair issues that they were genuinely not aware of. In order for housing disrepair claims by tenants to be successful, there needs to be proof that the issue was brought to the attention of landlord or housing association prior to the effects on your health manifesting. This page on the government justice.gov website outlines the procedure of housing disrepair claims.
