What Is A No Win No Fee Solicitor?

Some people worry about the cost of hiring a solicitor for compensation claims which is why our panel of solicitors covering Exeter work on a no win no fee basis.

This type of legal agreement enables many more people to begin a claim because it reduces financial risk and takes away a lot of the stress involved with a claim.

A no win no fee agreement means that you don’t need to pay the solicitor any fees to start the claim. You also don’t have to pay their legal fees if they lose the case. The only time you will pay them is if you receive compensation. Even then, you don’t have to find the money to pay their legal fees as their ‘success fee’ is deducted from your compensation automatically (limited to 25%).

You will need to ensure that your claim is made within the 3-year personal injury claims time limit. For some claims (claims involving children, criminal injury claims or financial claims), the time limit may differ.

If you’d like to find out whether one of our panel of solicitors covering Exeter, Devon could help you claim, pleas call a specialist advisor today.

No Win No Fee Car Crash And Exeter Traffic Accident Claims

If you are involved in a Road traffic Accident, or RTA, you could be entitled to claim for any injuries if the accident was caused by a negligent road user. RTAs are one of the most common claims handled and claims can be for injuries such as whiplash, fractured or broken bones, head injuries and cuts or lacerations.

This report from the government provides a useful insight into the number of RTAs that occur annually.

Claims could be made by any road user including claims for an Exeter bike accident, a car accident or even an Exeter bus accident. So long as the injury you sustained was caused by another negligent road user, you could be entitled to claim.

We recommend you gather evidence of an RTA as soon as possible following the accident because once the scene has been cleared, proving what happened can be tricky.

The types of evidence you could use to support your claim include:

  • Photographs of the scene of the accident.
  • Medical records following treatment by a GP or at a hospital.
  • Witness details.
  • Details of the other road user involved.
  • Dashcam or CCTV footage.
  • Photographs of any visible injuries.

Making a no win no fee car crash claim (or other RTA claim), should be easier the more evidence you can provide.

No Win No Fee Workplace Injury Claims

When you suffer an injury in the workplace, you might be entitled to seek compensation against your employer. That’s if it can be shown that the accident was caused by their negligence or because they breached their duty of care.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, your employer has to try and keep you as safe as possible while at work. This can be done by performing risk assessments and making changes where possible.

  • Claims for accidents resulting in injuries in hotels.
