No Win No Fee Solicitors Rutland

When it comes to making personal injury claims, whether they are against an employer, a local authority, a private business or another entity entirely, you may already be aware that you could use a no win no fee solicitor to make a claim, which would not require you to pay legal fees upfront. But did you know that you could also make other claims with no win no fee solicitors covering Rutland? A no win no fee solicitor from our panel could not only help with a personal injury claim, but they could help with financial mis selling claims, housing disrepair claims and more. In the guide that follows, we’ll explain the benefits of no win no fee agreements, as well as explaining the types of claims that you could be eligible to make in more detail. For more information, besides the guidance that you’ll find on this page, call our helpline on 0800 073 8802. But before you do, why not read on for more information on making claims on a no win no fee basis?

What Does A No Win No Fee Solicitor Do?

Whatever type of claim you’re looking to make, having a solicitor to help you could really benefit you. Not only could they take on much of the work pertaining to your claim, but they could also use their knowledge and experience to put together a claim that a liable party would find hard to refute. They could also advise you on whether an offer of settlement could be worth taking, or whether you could look to receive more compensation if you refused an initial offer. Not only this, but they could also ensure that no costs are left out of your claim so that you are not left out of pocket.

But How Do These Claims Work?

Your no win no fee claim would begin with the signing of a document called a Conditional Fee Agreement. This document would advise you of the conditions under which your lawyer should be paid their ‘success fee’ – a percentage of your eventual compensation settlement. No more than 25% of the eventual settlement can be set aside for legal fees. This is because of a government cap.

When your settlement comes through, your lawyer’s success fee would be deducted, with the rest of the settlement left for your benefit. If a lawyer does not manage to successfully secure compensation for you, when you have a valid claim, you would not have to pay for their services so you would not be left out of pocket by taking legal action. In some cases, a lawyer may advise you prior to taking on your case that you could take out insurance to protect against unsuccessful claims, but this could vary between cases.

If you’d like to know more about no win no fee claims, we’d be happy to talk to you in further detail. We prefer claimants to be fully informed about all aspects of making a claim and are always happy to answer questions if you have them.

Now we’ve taken you through how a no win no fee claim would work, we will take you through some of the more common types of claims that our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Rutland could help with.

Rutland Injured At Work Compensation Claims

Injury at work solicitors from our panel could also help claimants if they are injured at work. Compensation could include not only an award for the actual injury you’ve sustained, but also for costs associated with the injury, such as loss of earnings, medical costs and care costs if appropriate.

Your employer, like any other in the UK, is required to provide you with as safe a working environment as reasonably possible. Things they might do to ensure your working environment/your job does not lead to injury could include:

  • Giving you training in health and safety procedures pertaining to your job – this could be general health and safety training, or specific training in manual handling etc
  • Giving you equipment to protect you from harm (gloves, hard hats, etc) if required
  • Setting up your workspace as per regulations (for example, DSE requirements etc)
  • Giving you regular breaks from repetitive work if required
  • And more…

If your employer does not take steps to reduce risks to what could be considered a reasonable level, and you are injured in a workplace accident or you develop a work-related condition such as mesothelioma, tendonitis, dermatitis etc, you could consider using the services of a personal injury solicitor to help you make a claim against them.

Time limits for such claims could vary, depending on the type of claim you would be making. For claims concerning conditions that have developed over time, the personal injury claims time limit could be three years from the date the condition was linked to your work, whereas with others it could be three years from the date of an accident at work. We could provide you with a no win no fee solicitor from our panel in either case. In some cases, there may be an exception to the three-year limitation period entirely, so if you’re unsure as to whether you are within the limit that applies to your case, please do call our team for clarification.

Deposits paid to landlords after April 2007 are subject to deposit protection rules, whereupon your landlord must use a government-approved scheme to place your deposit in and must write to you detailing the specifics of where your deposit is held. They must do this within a period of 30 days following your deposit payment. Should your landlord have broken these rules, you could claim between one and three times the deposit amount in compensation.
