What Are The Benefits Of Making A No Win No Fee Claim?

A major benefit of using making a no win no fee claim is that they are less stressful because they reduce the financial risk involved in making a claim. That’s because, when you start the case, you and the solicitor will both sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This is the agreement which explains that there are no solicitor’s fees to pay unless you receive compensation. When the case is won, and compensation is awarded a “success fee” will be deducted from your compensation to cover the solicitor’s fees.

The CFA will set out what the success fee percentage will be but, by law, it can be no more than 25% of your compensation.

In order to pursue a claim for compensation, you need to have proof that you were made to suffer (either an injury or financial loss, or both) and that you were owed a duty of care by a third party (who was negligent in their actions or omissions).

You’ll also need to ensure your claim is made within the necessary time limit. Failure to do so will result in the claim being invalid. As an example, the personal injury claims time limit is 3-years from the date of an accident or diagnosis of injuries. Other claims can have different time periods for claiming. To check what time limit is relevant to your circumstances, please speak with a member of our team.
