What Are The Benefits Of Using A No Win No Fee Solicitor?

A no win no fee solicitor works on the basis that their fees won’t be paid unless they are successful and their clients receive compensation. This comes with some risk for the solicitor so they need to choose which cases they can help with. At the beginning of your claim, before the solicitor agrees to take on your case, you’ll be asked to demonstrate that:

  • You were made to suffer;
  • By a third party who owed you a duty of care;
  • And that the person caused your suffering through a negligent act.

If the solicitor agrees to take on your case, you’ll both sign a Conditional Fee Agreement or CFA. This document will confirm that there are no up-front fees and the solicitor’s fees only need paying if you receive compensation. The method of payment when a case is won is known as a success fee. This is a percentage of your compensation which is deducted and use to cover the solicitor’s fees (by law, a success fee can’t exceed 25%).

As well as deciding whether you’re eligible to claim, the solicitor will need to check time limits. Different claims have different time limits, here are some examples:

  • Criminal injury claims time limit – 2years.
  • Personal injury claims time limit – 3 years.
  • Financial mis-selling claims time limit – varies.
  • Package holiday claims time limit – 3 years.

The time limits quoted are for normal cases. They can vary in certain circumstances so please check with an advisor to see if you could be eligible for compensation.
