What Are No Win No Fee Claims?

The cost associated with hiring a personal injury solicitor deters some from beginning their claim. That’s why, when our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering claims in Telford take on a case, it’s on a no win no fee basis.

The amount of stress and financial risk involved in claiming is greatly reduced by no win no fee agreements because:

  • You don’t have to pay the solicitor up front.
  • There are no legal fees to pay your solicitor if they lose the case.
  • When you receive compensation, their success fee is deducted from your compensation. This means that you don’t need to find the money to pay them yourself.

Success fees cover the solicitor’s legal fees and they’re limited to 25%. The amount you’ll pay will be outlined in your no win no fee agreement.

You should bear in mind that there is generally a personal injury claims time limit in the UK. This is usually a 3-year period from the date of your accident. The time frame could also begin from the day you find out about your injuries or illness following a doctor’s diagnosis. There are exceptions please call our advisors for more information.

No Win No Fee Telford Road Traffic Accident & Injury Compensation Claims

A road traffic accident (RTA) injury compensation claim could be launched by any road user who suffers in an accident caused by another road user’s negligence. A solicitor could help you claim for a number of different injuries including head injuries, whiplash and neck injuries, broken bones and lacerations or cuts.

We recommend that you try, where you’re able, to gather as much evidence at the scene of an RTA. All personal injury claims require evidence but evidence from an RTA will be cleared away relatively quickly, so you need to act as soon as possible.

Try to:

  • Take photos while vehicles are still in situ.
  • Ask witnesses for their details.
  • Seek medical treatment. The medical records can be requested at a later date as supporting evidence.
  • Gather any dashcam or CCTV footage where possible.
  • Take pictures of any visible injuries because these can help demonstrate their severity.

For more information on the types of RTAs that happen and how often they occur, take a look at this government report from 2017.

No Win No Fee Solicitors Handling Accident At Work Claims

While no workplace will ever be completely safe or risk-free, your employer has a duty of care to reduce as many risks as possible. Failure to do so could make you eligible to seek compensation for an accident at work which leaves you injured.

You could seek damages if:

  • The injuries you sustained happened due to reported faulty equipment.
  • Your accident was caused because personal protective equipment wasn’t provided.
  • There wasn’t adequate training for the task in which you were injured.
  • You didn’t know the company’s health and safety policy because it was never highlighted to you.

You could use no win no fee solicitors for accident at work claims and your employer isn’t allowed to prevent you from doing so. They can’t discipline you for claiming and will have insurance (by law) to cover them. Therefore, don’t be afraid to consider making a claim if you’ve suffered an accident at work. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is used as a basis for many of these types of claim. You can read an explanation of its relevance here.

Compensation Claims For Injuries And Accidents On Holiday

If you’re injured or made ill while on holiday abroad, or in the UK, you could seek damages if the injury happened because of the holiday company’s negligence or negligence of their staff. You could claim for package holiday accidents or if you’re injured during a holiday that you’ve booked independently. We suggest that you give us a call to discuss your circumstances regarding how you sustained your injuries and whether you need to make the claim against your package holiday provider or the independent company.

The types of claim where you have sustained an injury or illness that was not your fault could include;

  • Food poisoning or waterborne illnesses.
  • Hotel accidents.
  • Airport or airplane accidents.
  • Cruise ships injuries or illnesses.
  • Accidents that occur during an excursion or activity.

You should ensure you report your accident to your holiday rep or hotel staff. When you have done so, a copy of their accident report can be used to support your claim.

No Win No Fee Criminal Compensation Claims For Assaults And Abuse In Telford

You probably wouldn’t think of making a criminal injury claim following a physical or sexual assault against you. However, the government’s Criminal Injury Compensation Authority CICA scheme could allow you to claim for pain and suffering caused by injuries.

The scheme operates differently to other types of compensation claims. This means the time limit for claiming is reduced and the amounts of compensation are different. If you’d like to discuss whether you could make a CICA claim, speak with a specialist advisor today.

Other Types Of Accident And Injury Claims

Before we move on to other types of claims a no win no fee solicitor covering Telford could help you with, we’re going to briefly cover a few more personal injury claims that you might need to know about.

  • Children’s Accidents.
    As children aren’t able to conduct their own legal matters, a parent could become their ‘litigation friend’ and represent them in a claim any time up until their 18th  birthday. After that, the child, who is now an adult can conduct their own claim before they turn 21.
  • Slips, Trips And Falls.
    These can occur almost anywhere in everyday life. If somebody else caused the accident to happen, then you could seek compensation from them for your injuries. To find out more, read our separate guide.
  • Accidents in Public Places.
    If you are involved in an accident in a public place (supermarket, restaurant, train station, footpath, public highway, park, car park etc), you could pursue a claim against the owner if they caused the accident. This might lead to claims against the local authority or private businesses.

No Win No Fee Financial Product Mis-Selling Claims

The Financial Conduct Authority imposed new regulations on financial advisors to protect customers from suffering losses due to mis-selling. You could be eligible to claim back financial losses if:

  • You lost out financially because a financial advisor pressured you to buy a particular product.
  • You weren’t told about the fees or charges levied by a product.
  • Your choice of products were limited to only one or two because the advisor was trying to sell a particular product.
  • The advisor failed to ask about your health or lifestyle before suggesting products.
  • You invested in a high-risk venture when you’d asked to limit your risk.

No Win No Fee Compensation For Disputed Rental Deposits

Since the government tightened the regulations for rented properties, a landlord isn’t allowed to hold your deposit in their own bank account. It now needs to be deposited in a protected scheme to ensure tenants don’t lose their deposit unfairly.

Therefore, you could seek compensation when your landlord doesn’t place the money in a scheme, or tell you which scheme they’ve used, within 30 days. You could also claim if they move the money before the end of your tenancy.

For tenancy deposit dispute advice, call our team of advisors today.

Housing Disrepair Claims With No Win No Fee Solicitors Covering Telford

Another claim against a landlord could be if they fail to meet their duty of care to ensure your property is maintained properly.

If they fail to repair a defect or fault which they’re required to according to your tenancy agreement, you could claim if:

  • You’ve lost out financially because you had to pay for the repair yourself.
  • The fault or defect caused damage to your own personal property.
  • You were injured because the defect or fault caused an avoidable accident to happen.

For more information, read this protocol from the Ministry of Justice covering housing disrepair cases.
