How Does A No Win No Fee Agreement Work?
Before we go ahead and explain the types of personal injury claims and financial compensation claims that could be made, let us first explain the no win no fee agreement and what it entails.
If the no win no fee solicitor believes that you do have a valid claim, then they would ask you to sign an agreement with them that agrees to them deducting a success fee (that is capped at 25% ) upon the settlement of your claim. A no win no fee agreement also means that in the event your claim is unsuccessful you will not be expected to pay your solicitors fees.

No Win No Fee Workplace Injury Compensation Claims
When it comes to accidents in the workplace, according to the HSE, 69, 208 RIDDOR reports of injury were made in 2018/19. These could involve anything from broken bones to musculoskeletal injuries including back strains and more. While we do not have the statistics on how many of these were due to the employer’s fault, all employers have a duty to their staff to ensure a safe working environment and that their health and safety should be protected by their employer. This could be done in various ways, and, depending on the nature of the work could involve some or all of the following:
- Assessing risks regularly and providing risk reduction measures.
- Providing PPE.
- Training employees on how to do jobs safely.
- Ensuring the workplace is free from hazards.
- Ensuring machinery is regularly checked and maintained, and safety features are enabled.
These could all help to avoid accidents that happen in the workplace on a one-off basis, but they could also help avoid foreseeable risks of employees’ chances of developing work-related conditions.
Work-related illness/disease/conditions could include COPD, hand-arm vibration, tendonitis, work-related skin disease and more.
If an employee can prove that their injuries or illness could have been avoided had their employer acted responsibly, then a claim for compensation could be made.
One thing some people may worry about is making a claim against their employer for fear that the payout may cause the company financial distress, or could cause the employer to treat the claimant differently because of their claim. There is legislation that has been put in place to protect employees from being treated differently because of claims.

You might have been mis sold a pension, or it could have been an insurance policy or investment.
