To find out more about claiming and what you can claim for before calling us, please carry on reading.

What Are No Win No Fee Claims?

Until the case has been finalised, the claimant will not have to pay a penny towards their solicitor’s services. As a result, some of the financial pressure is relieved from the client.

When you begin a claim, you’ll be provided with a conditional fee agreement (CFA). This will state what percentage of your compensation will be used as a ‘success fee’ if compensation is awarded. Success fees are limited to 25% of your compensation and are deducted straight from it so you don’t need to have the money available to pay the solicitor yourself.

A claim can only be made if it is within the personal injury claims time limit. This is usually 3 years from the date the accident happened or from when a doctor diagnosed your condition. However, the time limit may differ for other types of claims, such as financial mis-selling, holiday injuries and claims involving children. Please call to discuss this further if you’re unsure.

It’s important to note that you should try and report holiday accidents where possible. This might be to the holiday rep or to the staff in the establishment (hotel, restaurant, swimming pool, etc.) where the accident occurred. You should also seek medical treatment for any injury. In order to claim it must be proven that the accident causing unnecessary suffering could have been prevented.

Violent Crime And Abuse Compensation Claims

If you’ve suffered an injury following a criminal act against you, which was reported to the police, you could be entitled to a settlement amount. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) is a Government-run scheme which could award compensation to blameless victims of violent crimes.

For example, this may include physical, sexual or mental injuries, loss of income, funeral expenses and other costs linked to the crime.
