How No Win No Fee Solicitors Could Help You

A no win no fee solicitor could take on your claim and help you seek compensation if:

  • Somebody who owed you a duty of care;
  • Was negligent; and
  • Caused you to suffer financially, physically or psychologically.

Also, your claim needs to be made within the relevant time limit. For instance, the personal injury claims time limit is usually 3-years. Outside of that period, a claim isn’t usually possible.

When the solicitor agrees that your case is strong enough to take on, they’ll provide you with a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This is your contract and really useful because it states that you won’t pay the solicitor’s fees unless they win compensation for you and, when they do win the case, it confirms the level of ‘success fee’ you’ll pay.

Success fees are used to cover the solicitor’s fees. They are limited by law to 25% of your compensation and are deducted before it is sent to you.

Should you have any queries or want to clarify how long you have to claim once you’ve read this guide, please call an advisor for free, no obligation advice.

Any employer in the UK has a duty of care toward their employees because of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. This means that employers need to assess the workplace and remove any dangers they find, where possible, to try and keep staff as safe as possible.

Therefore, if you suffer an accident at work and it was caused by any of the following, you could be eligible to make a claim:

  • A generally unsafe working environment.
  • Missing or inadequate protective equipment.
  • Faulty or poorly maintained equipment.
  • A lack of proper training.

Your employer is not allowed to discipline you or sack you for claiming. Therefore, don’t be put off from claiming the compensation you could be entitled to.

Claim With Holiday Compensation Solicitors

Our panel of holiday compensation solicitors could help you claim if you’ve suffered an injury while abroad. The claims process is similar to UK compensation claims but how you make your claim will depend on how you booked your holiday.

For injuries sustained while using a service supplied by a UK package holiday company, the claim could be made against them. This usually comes with a 3-year time limit.

When you’ve booked the holiday independently, you could still make a claim, but it will be using local laws and the time limit might be reduced depending on where in the world your accident happened. Our panel of no win no fee solicitors could still help with these type of claims, so please get in touch today.

Claim Criminal Injuries Compensation With A No Win No Fee Solicitor

You could use our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering East Sussex to help you claim from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). They are a government body that are able to compensate victims of violent crimes for physical and psychological injuries as well as some financial losses caused by those injuries.

As CICA claims aren’t the same as personal injury claims, there are some different rules and criteria. These include:

  • A 2-year time limit.
  • Crimes must have been reported to the police.
  • When claiming for multiple injuries, the most severe injury will receive 100% compensation, the next will receive 30% and the next will receive 15%.

It’s worth bearing in mind that in some crimes, such as historical cases, the time limit for CICA claims could be waived or extended.

We could help you claim criminal injuries compensation if you call and speak with one of our advisors today. They will listen to what happened and let you know if you have a chance of receiving compensation.

More Examples Of No Win No Fee Personal Injury Claims

Here, in brief, are some more claims a personal injury solicitor could help you make:

  • Claims for injuries sustained by children are possible at any point before they turn 18. A responsible adult will become a ‘litigation friend’ and represent them during the claim. Any compensation awarded is placed into a trust fund and managed by local courts.
  • If you slip, trip or fall because of somebody else’s negligence, you might be able to sue them for compensation. This could be the case if your accident happened because a floor was wet following cleaning, but where no warning signs were used.
  • Similarly, if you’re involved in an accident in a public place like a car park, shopping centre or even on a footpath, you could sue the council or business responsible for the area if their negligence caused the accident to occur.

Some of the FCA rules include:

  • Ensuring the client understands the terms and conditions fully.
  • Considering the client’s health and lifestyle prior to selling a product.
  • Making sure the fees and ongoing charges are explained.
  • Giving the client a full range of products to ensure they can make an informed decision.
  • Not pressuring the client into making a choice.

If you believe you’ve lost out financially as the result of financial mis-selling, you could be eligible to claim compensation. Please call a specialist from our team for free advice on your options.

Tenancy Deposit Protection Claim

Our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering East Sussex could also help you make a tenancy deposit protection claim. That could be the case if the council, a private landlord or housing association has failed to follow rules regarding Tenancy Deposit Schemes (TDS).

  • Removed the deposit from the scheme before your tenancy agreement ended.
  • Or if you weren’t told, in writing, where your money had been secured.

Housing Disrepair And Personal Injury Claims

Therefore, if you’ve been injured or made ill because your landlord failed to fix a fault, which they were aware of, you could claim compensation for housing disrepair.
