How Do You Make A No Win No Fee Claim?
A No Win No Fee claim works by your solicitor discussing and agreeing with you how much of your compensation fee they will take in the event of a successful compensation claim. This will be their payment, and in the event of an unsuccessful claim they will not ask for payment for their services. This arrangement could be beneficial to you if you do not have the means of paying for a solicitor up front before making a personal injury claim.
When you make a no win no fee agreement, you and your solicitor will discuss and agree beforehand how much of your compensation your solicitor will receive as their payment in the event of a successful claim. This is capped at 25% of the total settlement amount. However, in the event that you have made a valid claim, but you have not been awarded compensation, your solicitor will not expect you to pay for their services. This kind of arrangement will be beneficial for you if you have concerns about how you will be able to afford to pay a solicitors fees.

No Win No Fee Medical Negligence Claims In Cheltenham
Medical negligence claims can be made for a substandard of treatment from a doctor or a superbug contracted during your stay in hospital or for that matter any form of malpractice that has worsened your health rather than help you. A healthcare practitioner owes you a duty of care as a patient.
Perhaps a doctor failed to diagnose your condition or gave you a prescription that was incorrect. Maybe you had a tooth operation performed by a dentist, such as a root canal, which resulted in avoidable damage to healthy teeth. In more severe circumstances, you could have undergone surgery which went badly wrong, leading to surgical instruments being left inside your body or your internal organs being damaged.
In any case, if your injury or illness was the result of malpractice from a healthcare professional, you could be entitled to compensation.
No Win No Fee Accident At Work Claims In Cheltenham
Accident at work solicitors could help you claim compensation if you have suffered from a workplace injury or a long term workplace health problem which you believe could have been prevented if your employer had followed proper safety measures. These safety measures can include performing risk assessments, providing proper ventilation and proper lighting.
Additional health issues which could be prevented include:
- Hearing loss/Hand Arm Vibration syndrome can be prevented by providing employees with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). E.g. ear protection and gloves.
- Eye injuries can be prevented by providing protective goggles.
If you have suffered from any of these physical injuries and ailments, or if you have suffered from mental health problems such as work related stress, then contact our team to find out if you have grounds for an accident at work claim.
No Win No Fee Holiday Injury Claims
You could receive compensation for injuries you suffer in an accident outside of the UK in various circumstances. If you have been on holiday abroad using a package deal you booked with a UK holiday firm, then that firm could be liable for any injury or health problem you suffer in the arrangements provided by the tour operator. If you do make a claim against a holiday firm based locally, then the process would run just as a claim against any other UK company would under British law.
However, if your injury took place on aspects booked independently, for instance if you were injured in a club or a restaurant not connected to your package deal, then liability would be on the relevant party in the country where your holiday accident took place. If you wished to make a compensation claim against the party responsible for the incident, then that claim would have to be performed under that country’s laws.
We may be able to provide you with a lawyer from our panel who has the necessary qualifications to handle a claim in the given country in these circumstances. Call us today to discuss the details of your claim for more information.
No Win No Fee Criminal Abuse And Assault Claims
We can connect you with no win no fee solicitors covering Cheltenham for criminal abuse compensation claims. If you have been the victim of domestic abuse, assault, or any other violent crime, then you could be entitled to criminal injury compensation.
Criminal injury compensation is awarded from the government’s Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (CICA). For example, particularly violent or heinous crimes, such as domestic violence or acid attacks, can leave their victims with lifelong physical and psychological scars. Although receiving financial compensation cannot undo the physical and emotional damage that being the victim of a violent crime can cause, it may alleviate the victim’s difficult circumstances by covering the costs of medical bills, mental health support expenses, as well as covering for lost earnings due to an inability to work and any other living costs that the injury may have added to the victim’s life.
The usual time restrictions on making criminal injury claims (2 years) can be lifted in certain circumstances. It is understood that many victims may not want to come forward when the abuse and/or assault took place. As long as you report the incident to the police prior to beginning your claim, you could be entitled to put in a claim with our panel of no win no fee solicitors.
Further Injury Claims Our Panel Of Solicitors Could Help You Make
Whether you are in a shop, walking along a pavement or in a park you, will almost always be in a space which is owned by either some public or private entity if it can be entered as a member of the public. In such spaces, if an accident suffered was the fault of the owners of that space failing to ensure that it is safe for people to make use of, there could be grounds for a settlement amount.
For example, a local authority must make sure that equipment used by the public, such as playground equipment, is in working condition by ensuring that hazards are prevented. Sometimes a public place personal injury claim could be made for something as simple as a trip or slip by a defective pavement or pothole. However, the depth of such defectors must meet a specific criteria in order to make a claim. Local councils are responsible for maintaining roadways and pavements, therefore they could be held liable if people have tripped and fallen over due to broken, uneven or missing paving slabs and cobblestones. You can read more about slip, trip and fall accident claims on our website here.
