Are No Win No Fee Claims Different In Scotland?

When you come to make a no win no fee agreement, it is worth noting that there are certain technicalities that you must be aware of prior to conducting your claim.

The conditions that are detailed how your solicitor is to be paid might differ to other methods of compensation claims. Again, it is well worth going through the agreement you would sign with your solicitor to make sure you know under what conditions your solicitor would be paid and how much they’d receive. If you have any questions about the agreement you have with your solicitor, do ask questions before you sign anything to ensure you are well informed of all the details.

One of the benefits of using a no win no fee solicitor is not having to pay funds upfront to retain a lawyer’s services. Claiming in this manner may also reduce your financial risk. In addition to this, fewer Scottish claims seem to go to court. Should your claim be an exception to this, it would likely be heard at the Sheriff’s court. In extremely rare cases, your case may be heard at the Court of Session.

Now you know more about how no win no fee solicitors covering Kirkcaldy work, we’ll take a look at the sort of claims they could handle.

Kirkcaldy Criminal Injury Victim Compensation

If you obtained injuries as a victim of assault or another criminal act, you could claim for compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). As long as the incident was reported to the police in a timely manner and you suffered some kind of injury, you could also claim if you were injured in the process of trying to stop a criminal act from taking place; or if you suffered emotional/mental damage through witnessing such an event. Criminal injury claims tend to have a shorter time limit of 2-years for claiming, however, so you may wish to find a personal injury lawyer sooner rather than later.

Time Limit Exceptions for Historic Abuse

Were you the victim of sexual abuse when you were younger? If so, you may be a little worried that you may not be able to make a claim for compensation as it would not be within the standard 2-year time limit for claiming. However, exceptions could be made for some cases of historic abuse. It could be argued by a solicitor that a victim of such abuse may not have been able to properly process what had happened to them and therefore they may not have been able to speak about the abuse any sooner.

How To Claim If Affected By Poor Financial Advice Or Mis-Selling

Were you sold a pension by a financial advisor and/or institution that was not suitable for your needs? Did you feel under pressure to take out a particular annuity? Were you not advised of fees or charges applicable to a financial product you were sold? If so, there could be a chance that you were mis sold a financial service or product. If it can be proved that you have been financially disadvantaged by mis selling, then you could look into making a claim for compensation. This is because the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) demands that financial products are sold fairly and with transparency.
