How Do Conditional Fee Agreement Solicitors Work?

A No Win No Fee agreement, or a ‘Conditional Fee Agreement’ (CFA), provides claimants with a way of making compensation claims whilst minimising some financial risks. A no win no fee solicitor will not charge a fee until the claim has been successful. Let’s take a look at the Conditional Fee Agreement advantages and disadvantages below.

A key advantage of a CFA is that you won’t need to fund your claim by paying solicitor fees to start the claim or to have it processed. You only pay a fee when you have received a compensation settlement. To answer the question: “How much is a Conditional Fee Agreement?” The solicitor can charge up to 25% of the compensation you win (the actual percentage will be agreed upon before the claim commences). If you click here, you can read our full guide to the No Win No Fee process. Alternatively, you can ask one of our claim advisors to explain things to you in more depth, if you call them on the number at the bottom of this guide.

All of these examples show how a road user can be injured due to the actions of another road user or a road hazard caused by poor maintenance.

CICA and Criminal Injury Compensation For Victims

Did you know that it is possible for a solicitor to help claim criminal compensation for victims of a violent crime, even if the identity of the attacker is not known? This is possible due to the existence of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). This is an executive agency of the UK Government that was founded in 1996. Funding for CICA comes from the Ministry of Justice. CICA acts as a surrogate defendant, enabling victims of violent crimes such as assault or a mugging, as well as victims of sexually related crimes such as rape or sexual assault, to make a claim for the harm they have suffered. This covers both physical harm and psychological injuries.

We can provide you with one of our panel of lawyers to help you to make a claim through CICA.

  • Whilst visiting your local coffee shop, you are scalded by a faulty water heater in the public restroom.
  • Your child is cut by a damaged railing in their school playground.
  • A delivery driver drops a heavy package on your foot, causing a fracture.
  • After canned food, you become ill due to the food having been contaminated by bacteria such as Clostridium Botulinum.
