Explaining No Win No Fee Claims

The chances are you’ve heard about no win no fee solicitors, but do you know how they work? First of all, they have to assess your claim because they risk not being paid if they don’t win compensation. There are a few things they look for before taking on a claim. Therefore, you could be able to use a no win no fee service if:

  • You were made to suffer (financially, physically or psychologically);
  • Because of a negligent act;
  • And the person who was negligent owed you a duty of care.

Also, your claim will need to be made within any specific time limit. The personal injury claims time limit is 3-years from the date of an accident. Other claims have different time limits (criminal injury claims are 2-years, package holiday claims are 3-years), so please call an advisor to check.

Once your solicitor has assessed your circumstances and confirmed if they are willing to take your claim on you’ll both sign a conditional fee agreement (CFA). As a result, you’ll only pay the solicitor’s fees if you are awarded compensation.

When a claim is settled and compensation is paid, the CFA will explain what success fee you’ll pay. This will be a fixed percentage of your compensation (limited to 25%) which the solicitor will deduct before sending the payment to you.
