What Are No Win No Fee Solicitors?

A no win no fee solicitor is one who offers to take on a claim under the agreement that their fees will not be paid unless they win compensation for their client. Therefore, they have to choose which cases they take on. Generally, you could be eligible to use a no win no fee service if:

  • You have suffered physically, psychologically or financially;
  • Caused by somebody who owed you a duty of care;
  • And that person was negligent in some way.

You’ll also need to be claiming within the relevant time limit. The personal injury claims time limit and package holiday claims time limit is 3-years. Criminal injury claims have a 2-year limit while other claims have varying time limits depending on the circumstance. The best advice here is to call an advisor and check which time limit is relevant to you.

If a solicitor decides to take on your case, they’ll provide you with a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This is a really important document because it states that you only pay the solicitor’s fees if they win your claim and you are awarded compensation.

Should that happen, you’ll receive your settlement amount after the success fee is deducted. The success fee covers the solicitor’s fees for their work. By law, it can be no higher than 25% of any compensation.

  • Excursion injuries.
  • Hire car or transfer accidents.
  • Cruise ship accidents.

Claims For Criminal Assaults And Injuries In Halesowen

Being injured in a violent crime can leave you with both physical and psychological injuries. As a result, you might want to consider making a Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) claim.

CICA is a government scheme which means it doesn’t have the same rules and criteria as normal personal injury claims. Some differences include:

  • Crimes must have been reported to police.
  • In a successful multiple injury claim you’ll receive 100% compensation for the most severe injury but reduced payments for subsequent injuries.
  • A 2-year time limit for claims. This might be waived in some circumstances.

  • Public place accidents – You could sue a local council or business if they caused an accident in a public place like a shopping centre, a car park or on a footpath.

Compensation For The Mis Selling Of Annuities And Pensions

The Financial Conduct Authority has rules in place to try and prevent the mis-selling of annuities, investments, pensions and mortgages. This means you could make a compensation claim against a financial advisor if you lose money as a result of negligent advice.

Here are some things that could indicate that you have a claim:

  • The advisor didn’t consider your health and lifestyle.
  • You weren’t told about charges and fees.
  • There were only one or two products suggested to you.
  • The terms and conditions weren’t explained clearly.
  • You were advised to move money out of a workplace pension.
  • The advisor pressured you to make a choice.

If you believe you have a financial mis-selling claim, please call an advisor for a free assessment today.

Our panel of no win no fee solicitors could help you seek compensation against a private landlord, council or housing association if they failed to follow rules regarding Tenancy Deposit Schemes (TDS).

These were brought in during 2007 to try and help prevent tenants from losing their deposit unfairly. Some of the rules regarding deposits include:

  • A landlord must pay a deposit into a TDS within 30 days of receiving it.
  • They should tell the tenant, in writing, which scheme has been used.
  • The funds must remain in the TDS for the whole of the tenancy period.

Halesowen Housing Disrepair Cases

When you rent a property, your landlord will have a duty of care or contractual obligation to repair some faults and defects. If you are injured or made ill because they fail to do so, you could claim compensation. You could also claim if your belongings are damaged by the fault.

Some of the faults which might lead to a claim include:

  • Broken heating or hot water supplies.
  • Electrical and fire risks.
  • Leaking roofs or pipes.
  • Structural defects.
  • Blocked drains.
  • Mould or damp.

If you have reported a fault to your landlord but they’ve failed to repair it, keep hold of copies of any communication such as emails. These could be used as evidence to support your claim.
