Therefore, we would recommend that you speak with one of our advisers, as they discuss your potential claim in length and discuss what time limit is applicable to you.
What Does No Win No Fee Really Mean?
If you wish to make a claim for compensation, a solicitor from our panel could offer you a no win no fee agreement upon the grounds that you have a valid claim. If you wish to make a claim for compensation, you might be wondering ‘’what does no win no fee really mean?’’ A no win no fee agreement could reduce the financial threat for claimants and provide them with access to legal services and claims advice. This type of agreement is also referred to as a conditional fee agreement (CFA).
If a solicitor is successful in attaining an awarded settlement, they will take a success fee from the final settlement amount. By law, this fee is capped at 25%, however, this is something you and your solicitor can discuss in greater detail upon meeting. However, it is worth noting that this agreement also means that if your solicitor does not obtain a settlement on your behalf you will not be expected to pay your fees.
