How Do Conditional Fee Agreements Work?
If you’re considering a claim for compensation, it could be of benefit to work with a solicitor. These legal professionals must undergo years of training in order to become qualified in their role. Along the way, they would have built up a sound knowledge of the law and this knowledge could be invaluable when it comes to your claim.
While it is true that in some cases you could attempt to make a claim on your own, without a lawyer to assist you. However, this could be at the very least more stressful than claiming without one, and it could in some cases cause you miss out on compensation you might have been awarded with a stronger argument from a no win no fee solicitor. This is why we advise clients to make compensation claims with no win no fee solicitors covering Weston-super-Mare, as we believe it gives them a good chance of getting what compensation they deserve.
So, how does a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) work? Initially, you wouldn’t be required to pay your lawyer upfront. That could be considered the first benefit of working with this type of lawyer. You would settle the fees for their services out of your settlement once it comes through. This could give you the benefit of a reduced financial risk. Furthermore, the percentage you pay for your lawyer’s services is capped at 25 percent. Once your compensation settlement comes through, the lawyer’s conditional fee agreement success fee is deducted and you benefit from the rest.
Now you know how all of this works, we’ll take a look at the types of claim you could make.

No Win No Fee Workplace Accident And Injury Claims
There are several different reasons why you might want to make a work accident claim. You may have picked up an injury in a workplace accident because your employer did not take care of workplace health and safety. It is you employer’s legal responsibility to do so, so should they fail in this responsibility and you are injured as a result, you could make a claim for compensation. Ways in which your employer could take care of your health and safety could include:
- Making sure they perform risk assessments and acting on the findings.
- Ensuring that you have the relevant health and safety training to do your job correctly.
- Ensuring that the workplace is free from foreseeable hazards to a reasonable level.
- Ensuring that you have personal protective equipment when necessary.
- Ensuring that you have supervision when it is required.
- Making sure that all machinery within the workplace is checked and maintained to an acceptable level.
- Ensuring the safety guard fitted to machinery where necessary.
- And more…
Whether you were injured because a trip hazard was left in your way or because you’re trapped in machinery where there was not a safety guard fitted, if employer is deemed responsible for your injuries you could claim compensation. This could be for both the suffering and pain that you have had to go through, as well as financial implications of the accident.
Another way in which you could potentially claim compensation is if you developed a work-related condition that could have been avoided if your employer had acted responsibly. Workplace related conditions could include RSI, tendonitis, asbestosis, and workplace deafness. Because these conditions tend to develop over time, your personal injury claims time limit would begin from the date of diagnosis, rather than the date of an accident. This limit is usually three years, but sometimes there are exceptions to this.
If you are concerned about making a claim against your employer, because you feel that they may treat you differently while you’re at work, you might be relieved to know that there is government legislation in place to protect you from being treated as such. In the unlikely event that your employer does treat you differently, the services of no win no fee solicitors covering Weston-super-Mare could help you fight for unfair dismissal or constructive dismissal compensation. We could help to provide you with a no win no fee solicitor from our panel.
