What Is A No Win No Fee Solicitor?
A no win no fee solicitor enters into an agreement to cover a case and waive their legal fees if the case they are covering is lost. In the event that the case they cover is won, then the claimant (you) will be responsible for paying a previously agreed upon amount, covering the solicitors legal fees. The amount will automatically be taken from the compensation and the rest will be given to the claimant.
No win no fee does not guarantee that you will not have to pay anything if you lose. As every firm is different, it is advised that you discuss any other potential costs with your solicitor, which varies from case to case. It is also recommended that you discuss what your solicitors fees might amount to if your claim is successful. Your solicitor can take up to 25% of your compensation to cover their legal fees, but it is capped at 25%, and they legally cannot ask for more than that.

Criminal Injury Compensation Claim Guidelines
Injuries through a physical or sexual assault maybe considered as criminal injuries and are other types of claims our panel of no win no fee solicitors can assist with. These injuries can be compensated using criminal injury compensation claims and are usually claimed through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). Below, we have listed two of the types of injuries that you might be able to gain compensation for using the CICA claims process.
Criminal Injuries
Criminal injury through assault, robbery or being mugged can be both physically and mentally traumatising, and those who are victims of this type of injury could be entitled to compensation. Success in a claim of this type does not rely on a guilty charge of the person who assaulted you, but it is necessary to have proof that the assault occurred and resulted in your injuries. You can do this by reporting the incident and the accident that happened.
Sexual Abuse
You can claim through CICA if you have been a victim of sexual abuse, whether that be historical or recent. Normally, once the crime has been reported to the police, there is a personal injury claims time limit of two years to make a claim but in these types of cases, you could be compensated for sexual abuse that occurred during your childhood. The claim can be made for physical injury, as well as the emotional or mental trauma you may have experienced as a result. Contact us to see if our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Salford could help you receive the compensation you deserve.
Additional Accident Or Injury Claims
As well as being entitled to claim for the injuries outlined above, you could also claim for slips, trips or falls that happen in public areas that might be covered by local councils or private business owners. Local councils are responsible for maintaining public walkways, roads, parks, etc. so if you have an accident and have been injured because they neglected to maintain the area correctly, you could be entitled to compensation.
Other places you might experience an accident that wasn’t your fault include supermarkets, shopping centres, cinemas, etc. if you feel like it was through the negligence of the shop/business owner, then you could make a personal injury claim through our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Salford. For example, if a display comes loose in a supermarket and injures you or if a floor is wet or has not been cleaned properly and causes you to slip and become injured, the shop owner maybe liable to compensate you.
Claim Compensation For A Mis Sold Pension Or Financial Product
Sometimes, a bank or Independent Financial Advisor (IFA) can mis sell pension schemes or financial products such as Payment Protection Insurance (PPI), mortgages, etc. When this happens, the bank or IFA fail to comply with the strict regulations, and knowingly sell a customer the wrong pension or financial product.

No Win No Fee Tenancy Deposit Scheme Compensation Claims
If you start renting a new property, and enter into a shorthold tenancy, your new landlord will stipulate how much you will have to pay for your tenancy deposit. When your landlord receives the deposit he/she is then required legally to protect your deposit within an authorised scheme for the duration of your tenancy. They must then provide you with the information of the tenancy deposit scheme they have used. If your landlord fails to do this within 30 days, and your deposit is not protected, you could be eligible for compensation.
It is advised that you seek legal advice before you proceed with this claim, and our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering the Salford area could make the process easier.
