Examining How No Win No Fee Claims Work

Before discussing how no win no fee agreements work, you will need to demonstrate to a solicitor that:

  • A third party who owed you a duty of care;
  • Was negligent; and
  • They caused you to suffer financially, physically or psychologically.

If the solicitor agrees your case is strong enough, they’ll provide you with a Conditional Fee Agreement (or CFA). This is a written contract between you and your solicitor that confirms that you don’t have to pay any solicitor’s fees unless you receive compensation.

The success fee is limited by law to 25% and is deducted from your settlement figure before it’s paid to you. Using a no win no fee service means that your financial risk is reduced when claiming which should reduce the stress involved too.

One more thing to consider is that different types of compensation claim have different time limits for making them. For instance, the personal injury claims time limit is 3-years from the date of an accident or from when injuries are diagnosed. As claims vary, please call our advisors to find out what time limit applies in your case.

Claims For Traffic And Car Accidents In Richmond upon Thames

A personal injury solicitor could help you claim compensation following a road traffic accident (RTA) if it was caused by another driver’s negligence. The types of injury that you could be eligible to claim for include; broken bones,  severe cuts and bruises, ligament or tendon damage, whiplash, head injuries and back injuries.

To help with your claim, we recommend you try to gather evidence as soon as possible following an RTA. So, if possible, try to:

  • Photograph the scene of the accident before vehicles are removed.
  • Ask witnesses for their details so that they can later confirm what the saw (If the need arises).
  • Visit the local A&E or your GP for treatment. Medical records could be used to support your claim.
  • See if there is any dashcam footage to support your claim.

Richmond upon Thames Injury At Work Claims

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, all employers have a duty of care to try and keep staff safe while they’re at work. While it’s probably impossible to remove all dangers from a workplace, an employer needs to assess the work area and take steps to reduce or remove completely any of the risks that they identify.

This could mean providing safety equipment, training staff properly or making physical changes. If you have been injured in an accident which could’ve been prevented, then you could be eligible for an injury at work claim.

Something to bear in mind is that your employer, by law, can’t treat you differently, discipline you or sack you for claiming. Therefore, you shouldn’t be put off from claiming the compensation you could be entitled to.

Can You Claim Compensation For Being Attacked?

In the past, we’ve been asked questions like, “Can you claim compensation for being attacked?”. The answer is yes in certain circumstances you can. However, the claim won’t necessarily be made against the person who assaulted you. Instead it could be made using the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme.

CICA claims can be made for physical or psychological injuries sustained in a violent crime. The scheme has a 2-year time limit for claiming but this can be waived or extended for historical cases. Also, the crime must have been reported to the police.

There are other differences with CICA claims when compared to personal injury claims, but our panel of solicitors understand the rules and criteria for claiming. Therefore, please call today to find out whether you could begin a CICA claim.
