How You Could Claim Through A No Win No Fee Solicitor

Before looking at how no win no fee solicitor’s agreements work, it’s worth checking whether you’re eligible to claim or not. You could be if:

  • Somebody who owed you a duty of care was negligent either in their actions or omissions;
  • And their negligence caused you to suffer (financially, physically or psychologically).

Also, there are time limits for claiming which must be adhered to. The personal injury claims time limit is 3-years from the date of an accident. Criminal injury claims have a 2-year limit while package holidays also have 3-years. For other types of claims, please call us as the limits can vary depending on the circumstances.

Once the solicitor has established that your case is strong enough, you’ll be provided with a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This is your contract and is really important because clearly states that you don’t have to pay any solicitor’s fees unless you receive compensation. That is the crux of the no win no fee service.

When claims are won, and compensation is awarded, the CFA will explain what success fee you’ll pay. These cover the solicitor’s fees and are a percentage of your compensation (limited by law to 25%). Because the success fee is known right from the beginning of your claim, we believe that no win no fee agreements remove a lot of stress and financial risk that is involved with the claims process.

Other Oxfordshire Accident Or Injury Claims

Before we move on to other types of claims our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Oxfordshire could help with, here are a few more personal injury claims:

  • You could claim for an injury to your child at any point before they’re 18. You’ll represent them as a ‘litigation friend’ because they can’t represent themselves. Any compensation is managed by courts through a trust fund. After they turn 18, they have three years to make a claim themselves.
  • If you suffer an injury in a public place, you could claim against the landowner or local authority if they caused the accident. Public places include shopping centres, car parks and public highways.
  • Should you be injured by a slip, trip or fall, you could claim if somebody else was responsible. For instance, if you slipped because items of stock were littered across a shop floor, you could sue the owner for not clearing them up.

Claim Compensation For A Mis Sold Pension

When you buy certain financial products such as pensions, mortgages, investments or annuities, the advisor who sells them has to follow the rules of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). If they don’t and you lose money as a result, you may be able to claim against them.

Some of the FCA’s rules include:

  • Making it clear if the product has ongoing fees or charges.
  • Not pressuring the customer.
  • Considering the customers’ health and lifestyle before recommending a product.
  • Explaining important terms verbally and then providing a written copy.
  • Giving the customer a range of products to choose from so that they can make an informed decision.

When you rent a property from a private landlord, council or housing association, they’ll have a duty of care (and a contractual obligation) to make repairs which keep the property habitable. Therefore, if they fail to repair a fault that they were aware of and you become injured or ill as a result, you could make a housing disrepair claim against them.

Some of the repairs that could result in a claim include:

  • Defective hot water or heating systems.
  • Blocked drains.
  • Leaking pipes or roofs.
  • Electrical hazards.
  • Structural defects.
