What Does No Win No Fee Mean?

In this section, we are going to attempt to give a comprehensive answer to the question, what does No Win No Fee mean? First of all, the correct term for this kind of fee arrangement is a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). When you and your solicitor sign a CFA, the solicitor is agreeing to the fee being conditional on a successful resolution to the claim being achieved. In reality, this means that:

  • There will be no fee charged when the solicitor first starts working on your claim. While they are helping you to prepare for the claim, valuing it, and getting ready to process your claim for you.
  • There will be no ongoing fees charged whilst the solicitor is processing your claim for you. This can, in some cases, take quite some time. No matter how long it takes, you don’t pay any fees.
  • The fee is conditional on you receiving a compensation settlement. Therefore, if the claim is unsuccessful, the solicitor won’t charge you any fee at all.
  • In the case of a successful claim, the solicitor will take their fee automatically from the compensation they receive for you. This fee will have been agreed with you before the solicitor began working on your claim.

It can be seen that using a No Win No Fee solicitor provides the claimant with a way to have their claim processed, without having to find the money to pay beforehand. If you would like to learn more about how a CFA works, and how it could be helpful in your own case, please speak to one of our claim advisors on the number at the end of this guide.

Macclesfield No Win No Fee Medical Negligence Claims

Every medical professional in the UK, is expected to provide their patients with safe treatment at all times. This is known as the “duty of care” and it is something that every medical professional, including your GP, dentist, etc. is obliged to maintain. When this duty of care is not met, causing unnecessary harm to a patient in a way that could have been avoided, clinical negligence solicitors could be able to help the patient make a claim. For example:

  • Whilst attending the Macclesfield Accident and Emergency department to have an injury treated, you are prescribed pain medication that you have a recorded allergy to. This causes you to become ill.
  • While you are undergoing a surgical procedure, the surgeon makes an error, and accidentally severs a major artery. Your blood pressure drops to a level that causes additional health problems, and leads to a long recuperation.
  • Your optician makes a mistake when issuing you with a new prescription for lenses after an eye test. Due to wearing new glasses with the wrong lenses, you suffer headaches, vertigo and nausea.

Each of these examples shows a way that a medical professional has harmed a patient through clinical negligence. In cases such as these, we could be able to help you to make a claim for the harm you have suffered. Please speak to our claims team to learn more about how we can arrange for a No Win No Fee solicitor from our panel to process your negligence claim for you.

No Win No Fee Accident At Work Claims

In the UK, every employer is tasked with providing a safe working environment for their workforce. The employer is legally obliged to iteratively review potential workplace hazards, and take steps to mitigate any that are uncovered. This process is policed by the Health and Safety Executive, which regularly reviews the health and safety performance of every employer in the UK. When a company fails to meet safety requirements, and this leads to an employee being injured or becoming ill, then it could be possible for the injured party to make a claim for work injury compensation. For example:

  • A factory worker is injured due to a piece of machinery or equipment being faulty.
  • A warehouse worker hurts their back, while lifting a box because they were never trained how to lift safely.
  • Due to being forced to work at a badly laid out, unergonomic workstation, an office worker develops a musculoskeletal disorder such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

In each example, the employee has come to harm due to either the direct actions of their employer, or through some form of oversight. In each case, if it could have been proven that the employer was the root cause of the injury, then a No Win No Fee accident at work claim may have been possible. To find out if you have a valid reason to make a workplace accident claim, please speak to our claims team today.

Holiday Injury Compensation Claims

In some cases, it could be possible to make a holiday injury compensation claim for harm you have suffered while overseas. There are several possible scenarios here, and these are:

  • You are on a privately booked holiday and you are injured by negligence on the part of a travel provider. For example, you are electrocuted by a faulty light switch in your hotel room. In this case, your solicitor would process a claim against the overseas hotel operator.
  • You are on a package holiday, that you booked through a travel firm that is based in the UK. If you are injured while taking advantage of one of the holiday features included in the package, your solicitor would process a claim against the UK travel company. For example, if you are injured in a road traffic accident involving the airport transfer bus that was included in the price of your holiday.
  • You are injured on a plane flight, while the plane is outside of any national boundaries, in international airspace. Under the Montreal Convention, the airline would still be liable to pay compensation, even though the plan was outside of any local legal jurisdiction. Your solicitor would process a claim against the airline.

If you are unsure which scenario applies in your own case, please speak to one of our claim advisors, who will be able to assist you. They can also arrange for one of our panel of No Win No Fee solicitors covering Macclesfield to process your holiday claim for you.

Criminal Injury Victim Compensation Claims

When a member of the public in the UK is injured (physically or psychologically) by some form of violent or sexual crime, they may never know the identity of their attacker, if the criminal goes uncaught. Therefore, victims of crimes such as sexual or physical assault, rape, mugging, etc. will make a claim through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

The process of making a CICA claim is, of course, a little different. However, we can help you with such a claim. We can arrange for one of our panel of solicitors who are familiar with the CICA claims process, to handle your claim for you.

Are There More Types Of Accident Claim?

Whenever you are the victim of an accident in Macclesfield, and you come to harm due to the actions of a third party, you may have a valid reason to make a claim for personal injury. In the sections above we covered some of the common types of claims, but there are many more reasons to claim, such as:

  • You fall down the steps at your local library, because the local authority had failed to repair a faulty handrail, and you sprain your ankle.
  • After eating at a breakfast buffet, you come down with food poisoning.

Here we can see a few more ways that a person can be harmed through the actions of a third party. In each of these cases, there could have been a valid cause to make a claim. Call our claims team today, and explain why you believe you may have a valid accident or injury claim, and they will let you know how to best proceed.

Financial Mis Selling Claims

Since 2006, there have been regulations in place that govern the way that financial products must be sold. If a financial advisor attempts to mislead you or pressure you into investing or buying a product and you lose out financially as a result then this could be classed as financial mis selling.

Examples of a mis-sold financial product could include the unethical selling of products such as a pension annuity, Payment Protection Insurance (PPI), and Self-Invested Pension Plans (SIPP). Such investments/purchases must be sold in an ethical and transparent fashion, with the financial advisor offering the best advice for the client at all times. If you have lost out financially due to the unethical way you were sold a financial product, we could be able to help you to claim for this loss.

Tenancy Deposit No Win No Fee Claim

There are a number of rules that pertain to your rights as a private tenant, and how your landlord or letting agency must manage your rental deposit. Your deposit must be protected financially (from within 30 days of it being given to the landlord and until the end of the tenancy). Your deposit must be returned to you in full when you move out of the rental property unless there is some legal reason (such as the fact you breached the terms of the tenancy) for the landlord to withhold it. If you have faced problems getting your tenancy deposit back, then it could be possible that we can help you claim for this. Speak to a claims advisor today to find out how.

Claim Compensation From A Landlord For Disrepair In Housing

In the UK, there is a clear legal process for making housing repair complaints.

Specifically, if you have had to live for an extended period with housing disrepair such as:

  • Damp or mould.

  • Damage to the structure of your rental property.
  • A leaking roof.
  • Leaky or broken pipes.
  • Dangerous electrical wiring.
