What Is A No Win No Fee Claim?

Using a no win no fee solicitor to make any form of compensation claim can really help reduce the amount of stress involved. It means that risk of losing out financially is reduced because you only have to pay the solicitors fees if they win compensation for you. When that happens, their success fee is limited to 25% of your total compensation amount.

Before making a claim on a no win no fee basis, you’ll need to demonstrate to a solicitor that you have a strong case. In many cases, you’ll need to show that:

  • Somebody who owed you a duty of care was negligent; and
  • Their negligence caused you to become ill, injured or suffer a financial loss; and
  • The claim is being made within the relevant time limit.

There is a personal injury claims time limit of 3-years from the date of an accident or from when injuries were diagnosed. For other claim types, the time limit can vary. We will explain this throughout the guide, but you can always speak to an advisor for clarification.

Wallasey Workplace Accident Compensation Claims

You could use a solicitor to help claim for a workplace accident if it was caused by your employer’s negligence in some way. Employers are duty bound to try and keep workers safe wherever possible. Under guidance provided by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), an employer can use risk assessments to identify any dangers and then make changes to reduce them. Failure to do so, which results in an accident, could mean they’re liable to pay compensation for any injuries suffered.

Under UK law, employers can’t discipline you, treat you any differently or sack you for making a claim. They’ll have insurance in place to cover any claim so you shouldn’t feel put off from making a claim for the compensation you might be entitled to.

In other cases, where you booked your holiday independently, you may be able to claim against the responsible party under local legislation.

In general, package holiday claims have a 3-year time limit but claims for injuries which happened independently booked holidays through negligence can vary from country to country. Please get in touch to discuss how we could help you claim.

The amounts of compensation vary from a standard personal injury claim, but compensation can made for physical and psychological injuries and sometimes financial losses linked to the injuries.

  3. Finally, claims for accidents which happen in public places are also possible. You’ll need to identify who was responsible for the area where the accident happened and provide evidence to show how they caused the accident.
