No Win No Fee Claims – Is There A Catch?

The first thing to say here is there’s no catch when using our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering West Yorkshire. If after assessing your claim, they decide to help you, then you’ll only pay the solicitor’s fees if you are awarded compensation.

To assess your claim, the solicitor will need to see that:

  • You have been made to suffer;
  • By somebody who owed you a duty of care;
  • And it was negligence that led to your suffering.

If the solicitor decides to take on your claim, you’ll both sign a contract called a conditional fee agreement (CFA). This piece of paperwork confirms that the solicitor’s fees are only payable if you receive compensation. When you do, the CFA will also explain about success fees. The success fee is how you cover the solicitor’s fees. They’re automatically deducted from your compensation and by law can’t be any more than 25%.

Also, before you proceed, the solicitor will need to check your claim is made on time. There is a personal injury claims time limit of 3-years. For other types of claim, this can vary. We’ll try to explain this throughout the guide but please call if you’re unsure how long you have to make a claim.
