Could I Claim Through A No Win No Fee Solicitor?

When a no win no fee solicitor takes on a case, they’re taking a risk because if they fail to win compensation for their client, their fees won’t be paid. Therefore, they’ll usually want you to demonstrate that you’ve been made to suffer because somebody who owed you a duty of care was negligent before they’ll take on your claim.

When you and the solicitor are both happy, you’ll each sign the Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This is the contract which confirms that you only have to pay the solicitors fees if they win you compensation. When they do, a “success fee” will be deducted from your compensation to cover the solicitor’s fees. The success fee will be detailed in the CFA and is limited to 25% of any compensation.

As well as checking you’ve got a strong case, the solicitor will need to check whether you’re within the relevant time limit. These vary for different types of claim. As an example, the personal injury claims time limit is generally 3-years from the date of your accident or when a doctor tells you about your injuries.

We’ll try to cover time limits for different claims during this guide. If you’re unsure though, please call a member of our team to check which time limit applies in your case.

Financial Advisor Mis-Selling Compensation Claims

Unreturned Or Unprotected Tenancy Deposit Claims

When the government introduce Tenancy Deposit Schemes (TDS), they did so to help ensure tenants got their deposits back at the end of their lease if there wasn’t a valid reason for it to be retained.

The rules surrounding deposit schemes mean:

  • Your deposit should be placed in a TDS within 30 days of you paying it.
  • The landlord, or their agent, should tell you which scheme they’ve used.
  • The deposit should remain in the TDS until the tenancy agreement ends.

If any of the above hasn’t happened, you could be able to make a tenancy deposit compensation claim.
