Explaining No Win No Fee Claims

A no win no fee solicitor can help with many different types of compensation claims but they do have to vet each claim as they risk not being paid should they lose the case. Generally, a solicitor will want you to show the following before they agree to take on your case using a no win no fee service:

  • That you’ve suffered (an injury, illness or financial loss);
  • Because somebody was negligent;
  • And that person owed you a duty of care; and
  • Your claim is within the claim time limit.

The personal injury claims time limit is generally a 3-year period from the date of your accident or diagnosis. For other claims, we’ll try to explain how long you have to claim during this guide. If you’re not sure though, please speak with an advisor.

If a solicitor agrees to take on your claim, you’ll both sign a conditional fee agreement (or CFA). This document will explain that you don’t have to pay the solicitors fees unless they win some compensation for you. If they do, they’ll take a success fee from your compensation which is limited to 25% by law.

We believe no win no fee allows more people to claim and reduces the stress and financial risk for claimants.

Road Accident In Cumbernauld No Win No Fee Claims

If have been involved in a road accident in Cumbernauld which caused you to suffer injuries, then you may well be able to claim compensation if the accident was caused by another road user. All road users owe each other a duty of care to ensure they drive safely, within the law and pay attention properly.

When an accident in Cumbernauld happens, we’d advise you try to do the following:

  • Seek medical treatment for your injuries.
  • Ask the other road user for their details.
  • Photograph the scene of the accident before vehicles are removed.
  • Ask witnesses for statements (and dashcam footage if they have it).
  • Photograph any visible injuries.

Doing as much of the above as possible will make claiming easier. The support evidence will be used to demonstrate what happened and how you were injured. Common injuries that could occur as a result of a Cumbernauld traffic accident include broken bones, whiplash, head injuries, back injuries and soft tissue damage.

Cumbernauld Medical Negligence No Win No Fee Claims

  • A misdiagnosis or late diagnosis.
  • Surgical errors (dental / cosmetic / medical).
  • Anaesthetic mistakes.
  • Illnesses caused by hospital superbugs.
  • Prescription errors.

Cumbernauld Workplace Injury Claims

Under health and safety legislation, if you’re injured while at work because your employer failed to protect you adequately, you could be entitled to compensation.

  • An unsafe working environment (wet floors, cables trailing across the workspace etc).
  • A lack of proper training.
  • Damaged or faulty machinery.
  • Missing or damaged personal protective equipment.

So long as your claim is honest, your employer can’t discipline or sack you for claiming. They’ll also be covered by insurance to cover the cost of the claim so don’t feel afraid of claiming the compensation you could be entitled to.

Injured On Holiday Compensation Claims

Not only does an accident on holiday ruin your trip, it can mean you suffer pain for a long time after you return to the UK. If the accident was caused by negligence, you could claim compensation for your injuries. There are a couple of ways this might be possible:

  • Package holiday claims are possible if you were injured while using one of the services provided by the package holiday operator. This is usually a 3-year time limit for claiming.
  • Claims against the responsible party are also possible if you booked your holiday independently. Depending on the country the accident happened in, you may find the time for claiming is reduced.

We could begin claims if you’ve been injured on holiday so please call an advisor and explain what happened.

Criminal Injuries, Abuse And Serious Assaults In Cumbernauld

There is a government scheme known as CICA (Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority), which allows for compensation claims following a violent crime. It’s not the same as a personal injury claim which means there are some differences. These include:

  • The time limit for claiming is 2-years.
  • You must’ve reported the crime to police.
  • The way compensation is paid is different, especially if you sustained multiple injuries.

The scheme allows claims for injuries (both physical and psychological) and some financial losses linked to the injuries (such as loss of income). In some circumstances, the 2-year time limit can be waived.

Additional No Win No Fee Accident Claims

We’re now going to move on to other types of claim that our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Cumbernauld can help with. Before we do, here are a few more personal injury claims which are possible:

  • Accidents in public places like shops, footpaths, supermarkets or car parks could all lead to a claim if they were caused by the owner’s negligence. These claims could be against businesses or local authorities.
  • Injuries caused by a slip, trip or fall could also lead to a valid claim. Common reasons for a claim include wet floors with no warning signs, broken handrails, trailed cables and poor lighting.
  • Accidents involving children could also be claimed for using a personal injury lawyer. As the child can’t represent themselves in legal action, a parent or guardian can make the claim on their behalf before their 18th Failing that, the 3-year time limit applies from the date they turn 18.

Mis Sold Financial Service No Win No Fee Claims

When financial products such as pensions, mortgages, investments and annuities are sold, the financial advisor is under strict regulation from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). If they fail to follow the rules, and you lose money as a result, you could be entitled to claim compensation.

Use this checklist to see if you could be entitled to claim:

  • Did the advisor pressure you into a particular product?
  • Were you only given one or two products to choose from meaning you couldn’t make an informed decision?
  • Did the advisor fail to tell you about the fees and charges linked to a product?
  • Were you advised to move money out of a workplace pension?
  • Did the advisor forget to ask about your health and lifestyle before recommending a product?
  • Did they fail to tell you the key terms and conditions and then provide you with a printed copy?
  • And did you invest in a high-risk product such as carbon credits, property investment schemes or angel investments.

If you’ve answered yes to any of the questions above, you might be entitled to make claim. Please call to discuss your options. The time limit for claiming varies depending on the type of claim.

  • The landlord doesn’t place the money into a tenancy deposit scheme (TDS) within 30 days of receiving it.
  • They fail to tell you which TDS has been used (within 30 days).
  • Or the money is withdrawn from the TDS before your tenancy ends.

Housing Disrepair Claims Against Cumbernauld Landlords

When making housing disrepair claims in the UK, there is a protocol used by solicitors and courts to manage the claim. It’s designed to try and resolve cases amicably but if your landlord has failed to repair something, that they’re responsible for, and has caused you to become ill, injured or meant you lost out financially, you could sue for compensation.

Here’s a sample of housing repairs which could lead to a disrepair claim:

  • Mould or damp.
  • Leaks and blockages.
  • Electrical hazards.
  • Structural defects.
  • Broken hot water or heating.

Claims can be made against private landlords, councils and housing associations. If you’ve reported a fault, please keep hold of any emails or text messages as they could be used as evidence to support your claim.
