How Do No Win No Fee Claims Work?

The reason the claimants are attracted to no win no fee agreements is because they help to reduce the stress and financial risk involved with making a claim. After all, who’d like to pay out legal fees for a case they didn’t win?

When you sign a no win no fee agreement (known as a Conditional Fee Agreement or CFA), you’ll know right from the outset that:

  • There are zero fees to pay up front.
  • You won’t have to pay your solicitor’s legal fees should they lose the case.
  • There is a success fee to pay if you receive compensation.

The success fee is what’s used to pay the solicitors fees. It can’t be more than 25% of your compensation by law and will be deducted from your compensation, so you don’t need to pay the sum from your own bank account.

A solicitor will only be able to take your claim on if it’s made within the personal injury claims time limit. In the UK, this is a 3-year period. It starts when your accident happens or, alternatively, from the date a doctor diagnoses your illness or injury. For other types of claim, like financial mis-selling claims, the time limit will vary so please contact us for advice.
