What Is No Win No Fee?

Making a claim on a no win no fee basis could be as simple making one initial phone call to us. We would begin by assessing the details of your case in order to see if it might result in a compensation payment. We could then put you in contact with our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Wokingham who would work on your claim. The payment structure is very simple. Following an initial consultation, which would usually take place over the phone, your no win no fee solicitor would ask you to sign a Conditional Fee Agreement or CFA.  A benefit of using this type of payment structure to make a claim is that you would not be expected to pay anything to your solicitor upfront and if your claim is unsuccessful you will not have to pay your solicitors fees at all. This type of agreement details a percentage amount that would be taken out of your final settlement figure for your solicitor’s fees.

There is a cap on legal fees for personal injury claims that has been put in place by the government. This has been set at 25%. This is something your solicitor would discuss with you. Now we’ve been through how claims of this type work, we will have a look at the types of claim that your no win no fee solicitor could look at on your behalf.

I Injured Myself At Work In Wokingham, Could I Claim Compensation?

If you are not sure how you could make a work accident claim or even if you have a case for making a claim for compensation, then contact our team who could help you. There are two main reasons for making a personal injury claim for a work-related accident and here we will look at each of them in detail.

Making a claim for a workplace accident that resulted in injuries – If you were injured at work as a result of an accident that might have been prevented then you may be able to make a claim for compensation. It is your employer’s responsibility to protect you from any foreseeable risks whilst you are at your workplace and if you have been injured because they have failed to do this then you may be able to make a claim.

Claiming for an illness or condition related to your work – As part of your employer’s health and safety responsibilities, they are required to protect you from the foreseeable risks of developing a condition or illness that is related to your work. These might include industrial deafness, COPD, repetitive strain injuries and more…

If they neglect to reduce the risk of you developing such an illness or condition and you later develop it, then you may have a case for a claim.

The personal injury claims time limit may differ in line with the type of claim that you are making. If you were injured in an accident where your injuries were immediately apparent, then the time limit is usually 3 years from the date of the accident. If however your symptoms were not recognised at the time or your condition or illness developed over a period of time, then the time limit may begin from the date you receive your diagnosis.
