- Your solicitor only receives payment if the claim succeeds
- If the claim does not succeed, you do not pay your solicitor’s fees
This structure is designed to remove financial barriers and allow people in Chelmsford to pursue compensation where negligence or fault may have caused injury or loss.

Chelmsford Case Examples
Road Traffic Accident Near the Army and Navy Roundabout
A Chelmsford commuter was stationary in slow-moving traffic when their vehicle was struck from behind by another driver who failed to brake in time. The impact caused whiplash-type soft tissue injuries to the neck and upper back, resulting in pain, restricted movement, and difficulty driving for several months.
The claims process began with a free initial assessment, followed by a Conditional Fee Agreement. Liability was admitted early after dashcam evidence and vehicle damage reports were reviewed. Independent medical evidence confirmed ongoing symptoms beyond the initial recovery period. The claim settled without the need for court proceedings for £6,500, reflecting pain, suffering, and short-term loss of earnings.
Medical Negligence Following Hospital Treatment at Broomfield Hospital
A patient attended hospital with symptoms that should have prompted further investigation. Due to a delay in diagnosis, appropriate treatment was not started at an early stage, leading to avoidable complications and prolonged recovery.
After medical records were obtained, the case was reviewed by an independent medical expert to assess whether the standard of care fell below acceptable levels and whether the delay caused additional harm. Once breach of duty and causation were established, the claim progressed through formal correspondence with the NHS trust. The case concluded with a settlement of £25,000, accounting for pain and suffering, additional treatment, and financial losses linked to the extended recovery period.
Accident at Work on a Chelmsford Industrial Estate
An employee working on a Chelmsford industrial estate suffered a back injury while manually lifting heavy materials without adequate assistance or mechanical support. The employer had failed to carry out a suitable manual handling risk assessment or provide appropriate training.
The claim was pursued after workplace accident records and witness statements confirmed unsafe working practices. Medical evidence showed a lumbar strain with ongoing symptoms affecting the employee’s ability to work full duties. Following negotiation with the employer’s insurers, the no win no fee claim settled for £12,000, covering injury-related pain, lost income, and rehabilitation costs.
