Explaining How No Win No Fee Claims Work
Using a no win no fee solicitors means your financial risk is reduced and the claim should therefore be less stressful. To be eligible to use a no win no fee service, you will need to demonstrate to your solicitor that you have:
- Suffered physically, psychologically or financially;
- Because of a negligent act;
- By somebody who owed you a duty of care.
You’ll also need to make your claim within the relevant time limit. The personal injury claims time limit is generally 3 years from the date of your accident. A package holiday claim usually has 3 years too. For criminal injury claims, you’ll usually have 2 years. Other types of claim can have different time limits. Please call an advisor as soon as possible to ensure you can begin a claim.
When a solicitor agrees that your case is strong enough to proceed, you’ll be given a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) to sign. This document is a contract which explains that you don’t have to pay the solicitor’s fees unless you receive compensation. It will also detail the success fee you’ll pay should the solicitor win the case.
Success fees can’t be any higher than 25% of your compensation and they’re deducted before your final settlement figure is sent to you.

Claim Compensation For Injuries At Work In Brent
Any employer, small or large, has a duty of care to keep their staff as safe as possible while at work. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) provides guidelines and resources to help companies risk assess the workplace and to make changes to reduce any dangers identified.
If your employer has failed to make the workplace safe and you are injured because of their negligence, you could be eligible for compensation. You might be able to claim if your accident was caused by:
- An unsafe workplace – including uneven flooring, electrical hazards, trailing cables, faulty machinery.
- Missing or inadequate safety gear.

No Win No Fee Holiday Injury And Flight Delay Claims
An accident on holiday can really ruin a trip abroad but what’s worse is that you could end up with long-lasting injuries and lose out financially too. In these cases, if your accident was caused by somebody else’s negligence, you could sue them for compensation.
If the accident happened while using a service purchased from a UK-based package holiday company, the claim could be made against them. If you booked the holiday independently, claims are still possible but against the business or individual responsible. Package holiday claims generally have a 3-year time limit. Other claims could have a different time limit depending on which country the accident happened in. Please call an advisor to check how long you have to make your claim.
Brent Criminal Injury And Violent Crime Compensation Claims
If you have been unlucky enough to be the victim of a violent crime, you may not be aware that the government operates a scheme which could compensate you. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) allows claims to be made for physical and psychological injuries (as well as some financial losses caused by the injuries too).
The rules for claiming via the CICA scheme differ to other personal injury claims. Firstly, the crime must have been reported to the police. The time limit for claiming is reduced to 2-years but this can be waived or extended in certain circumstances. Finally, when claiming for multiple injuries, the scheme pays compensation on a sliding scale. In a successful claim, your most severe injury would receive 100% compensation, the next 30% and then 15% for the third injury.
Our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Brent understand the rules and criteria for CICA claims and could help you claim. Please call for free advice on how to claim.
What Other Personal Injury Claims Could Be Made?
Here are some more personal injury claims you could make:
- Children’s personal injury claims – Claims are possible if a parent or responsible adult becomes a ‘litigation friend’. Any compensation is placed into a trust fund. A claim of this nature can be made at any point before the child becomes 18.
- Public place accidents – Injuries caused by the negligence of a business owner or local authority in public places could also lead to a claim. If you’re injured in a public place like a shopping centre, on a footpath or in a park, you might be able to claim.
- Slips, trips and falls – Reasons that somebody else might be to blame for a slip or fall include icy pathways which aren’t gritted properly, raised paving slabs or potholes and slippery floors where no warning signs are used.
How To Reclaim Compensation For A Mis Sold Pension

Our Panel Of Doctors Covering Brent
A really important part of any personal injury claim is a medical assessment by an independent doctor. The report they produce is used by your solicitor to help work out how much compensation you could be entitled to. We have a panel of doctors available across most of the UK. Here are some in the Brent region we could use:
Doctor | Address |
---|---|
Adnan Saad | Vale Farm Sports Centre, Watford Road, Wembley, HA0 3HG. |
Laura Sanchez Pallares | Sunleigh Road, Wembley, HA0 4LY. |
Vikramjeet Chawla | Empire Way, Wembley, HA9 8DS. |
The doctor will assess you and ask you some questions before producing the report for your personal injury solicitor. The report will explain what injuries you sustained, how severe they were, what affect they had on you and whether you’ll suffer because of them in the future.
Because of the evidence the report provides, a medical assessment is a mandatory part of all personal injury claims.
