Explaining No Win No Fee Claims
By using our panel of No Win No Fee solicitors covering Peterborough, residents gain access to expert legal help, at a reduced financial risk. You don’t need to pay anything to your solicitor in order for them to start working on your claim and process it. You also don’t pay your solicitor if they don’t get you any compensation. The only time you pay your solicitor is when they have won you a settlement. At this stage, they will take their fee automatically and give you the money that is left.
As you can see, you really do not pay anything at all in legal fees until such time as your solicitor has received a compensation payment for you. We have published a full guide to No Win No Fee personal injury claims, which explains this kind of fee agreement in more detail, here.

Medical Negligence In Peterborough No Win No Fee Claims
Whenever you visit your GP, attend the hospital, or have work done on your teeth, etc. every medical professional that helps care for you has a duty to never cause you any unnecessary harm. When mistakes are made, and a patient is harmed, this could be construed as clinical negligence. Negligence can take many forms, for example:
- Errors made when dispensing medication, resulting in a patient taking the wrong medication or the wrong dose and this has caused them harm.
- Surgical mistakes during an operation, including errors made by the anaesthetist, causing harm to the patient.
- Inadequate hygiene leading to a patient contracting an infection while staying in hospital.
- Incorrectly administered treatment, such as a badly applied plaster cast, preventing an injury from healing properly.
These are all examples of ways that medical negligence in Peterborough could harm a patient. If it can be proven that negligence took place, and the onus is on the claimant to do this, then a personal injury lawyer could be able to help you to make a clinical negligence claim for the harm you have suffered.

No Win No Fee Criminal Injury Compensation Claims In Peterborough
There is an organisation in the UK, that has been put in place to provide victims of violent or sexually related crimes a way to claim compensation for the harm they have suffered. This organisation is known as the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). A solicitor can help you to make a criminal injury compensation claim through CICA rather than against the perpetrator of the crime.
Criminal Injuries
As the victim of an assault, mugging, or an aggravated robbery such as a burglary that involved the burglary assaulting the homeowner, then you could have valid grounds to make a compensation claim for the harm you were caused. In this case, your solicitor would make a claim directly through CICA.
Sexual Abuse
CICA can also compensate victims of sexual assault, rape, etc. This would also include compensation for psychological damage such as post-traumatic stress disorder or anxiety, that was caused by having to go through a traumatic ordeal.
We can arrange for our panel of No Win No Fee solicitors to help you to make a claim for physical or psychological harm you have suffered due to a violent or sexually related crime. Please use the phone number near the end of this guide to speak to one of our claims team.
