How Could A No Win No Fee Claim Work?

Before looking at the technicalities of a no win no fee agreement, it’s worth considering whether you’ll be able to make one. You could be eligible to claim if the following statements are true:

  • You were caused to suffer physically, psychologically or financially;
  • By somebody who was negligent;
  • And who owed you a duty of care.

You’ll also need to within the relevant time limit to be able to claim. Generally, the personal injury claims time limit is 3-years, criminal injury claims are 2-years and package holiday claims are 3-years. There can be variations on these so it’s worth calling to find out more.

Once your solicitor agrees that they can take on your claim, you’ll both sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This makes it clear that you only have to pay the solicitor’s fees when they win you compensation.

When the solicitor does win your case, you’ll pay a success fee to cover their fees. This is a percentage of your compensation which is deducted before it’s sent to you. The percentage you’ll pay will be clearly stated in your CFA.

How To Claim For An Accident Abroad

If you’ve been the victim of an accident while you were on holiday, you could make a claim for compensation in a similar way to if you were injured in the UK.

Accidents on package holidays could lead to a claim against the tour operator if they provided the service which you were injured on. In these cases, you’ll usually have 3-years to claim.

If your holiday was booked independently, however, a claim could still be made against the responsible party, but the time limit might differ as it is likely that you will have to make your claim under law that applies in that country.

The types of claim you might be able to make where you have suffered as a result include:

  • Hotel accidents.
  • Hire car or hotel transfer collisions.
  • Food poisoning.
  • Cruise ship accidents.
  • Airport accidents.
  • Injuries sustained during an excursion or sporting activity.

Victim Of Violent Crime In Paisley Compensation Claims

If you’re the victim of a violent crime, you might not realise it at the time but you could be compensated by the government’s Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

CICA claims are not the same as a personal injury claim but they do allow claims to be made for physical and psychological injuries caused by violent crimes. You could also claim for financial losses due to the injuries such as lost income.

You are required to have reported the crime to police to be eligible to claim and there’s a shorter 2-year time limit, but for some cases, this could be waived. To claim compensation as the victim of a violent crime, please call our team today.

Other Common Personal Injury Claims

Here are some more personal injury claims that you might be interested in:

  • Children’s injury claims – a parent or responsible adult can become a litigation friend to help make a compensation claim on behalf of a child at any point before they turn 18. Any compensation awarded is placed in a trust fund which is managed by a local court.
  • Slips, trips and falls – these can happen almost anywhere. If they’re caused by negligence such as a missing kerbstone, a blocked passageway or a slippery floor without warning signs, you might be entitled to claim.
  • Public place accidents – Local authorities and businesses have a duty of care to protect people using some public places like shopping centres, footpaths or car parks. If you’re injured and the accident was caused by negligence, you could be entitled to compensation.
