Am I Eligible To Make A No Win No Fee Claim?

Before looking at how no win no fee solicitors work, first of all, we should look at whether you could be eligible to claim. That’s because solicitors don’t take on every case;

Therefore, see if you can answer yes to the following questions:

  1. Have you suffered an injury, illness or financial loss?
  2. Was it caused by somebody with a duty of care towards you?
  3. Did their negligence cause the suffering to occur?

Also, you’ll need to make sure your claim is made on time. Generally, the personal injury claims time limit is 3-years, but other claims have different time limits. Call to check with an advisor if you’re not sure after reading this guide.

When the solicitor agrees to take on your claim, you’ll be presented with a Conditional Fee Agreement. This is important because it’s the contract which states that:

  • You don’t pay the solicitor’s fees unless they secure compensation on your behalf.
  • The success fee you’ll pay if compensation is awarded.

The success fee is deducted from the compensation before it’s sent to you which is good because it means you don’t have to have the money available to pay the solicitor yourself. Also, it’s worth noting that, by law, success fees can’t be any higher than 25% of your compensation. Therefore, we believe that using a no win no fee service takes away a lot of the stress and financial risks associated with claiming.

Road Accident In Leicestershire Compensation Claims

If you are injured during a road accident, you may well be eligible to claim compensation if the accident was caused by another road user. The types of injuries that could lead to a claim include:

  • Head injuries.
  • Broken bones or fractures.
  • Soft tissue damage, cuts, bruising and lacerations.
  • Back injuries.
  • Neck injuries, including whiplash.

Any of these injuries could be sustained in car accident in Leicestershire but should you wish to make a compensation claim because you believe somebody else was to blame, you’ll need to provide evidence. Therefore, following an accident in Leicestershire, try to:

  • Take photographs before any vehicles are moved from the scene.
  • Obtain any dashcam footage.
  • Visit a Leicestershire accident and emergency department for treatment.
  • Ask witnesses for their contact details.

Our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Leicestershire could help you if you’ve received substandard treatment from a medical professional and, as a result, have suffered an injury or been made ill.

Types of medical negligence which could result in a claim include:

  • Avoidable injuries caused by negligent surgery.
  • Pain caused during treatment due to an Anaesthetic error.

Leicestershire Work Injury Compensation Claims

While you’re at work, your employer has a duty of care to try and keep you as safe as possible. If they fail to take measures to try and reduce risks in the workplace, and as a result, you become injured, you might be able to sue them for compensation.

It’s not surprising that some people worry about what will happen if they make a claim against their employer but, so long as the claim is honest, you can’t be disciplined or sacked for doing so.

Therefore, if you’d like to discuss a claim for an accident at work, please call our advisors today.

No Win No Fee Holiday Injury Compensation Claims

In much the same way as they can in the UK, our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Leicestershire, could help you claim for injuries suffered while you’re on holiday abroad.

Depending on how you booked your holiday, the claim could be made in a number of ways. For instance, if the holiday was purchased through a package holiday company, you could claim against them if the accident happened while using a service which was provided by them.

Alternatively, if the accident happened while on a holiday that you booked independently, the claim could be made against the responsible party. Package holiday claims generally have 3-year time limits, other claims will vary depending on which country the accident happened in.

Leicestershire Criminal Injury And Sexual Abuse Claims

If you have been the victim of a violent crime, you could seek compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). They are a government organisation who allow claims for physical and psychological injuries caused by crime.

The time limit for making CICA claims is only 2-years but there are occasions where this can be extended. Also, you must have reported the crime to the police to be eligible to claim.

Our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Leicestershire know the process for making CICA claims and understand what evidence is required to support a claim. To discuss your options, please call the number at the top of the screen.

Other Circumstances In Which You Could Claim

Here are a few more claims that could be made using a personal injury lawyer:

  • You could claim for an accident in a public place like a park, car park, train station or shopping centre. The claim would usually be against a business owner or local authority if the accident happened due to their negligence.
  • When a child is injured, they can only make a claim if a parent or adult represents them. This can be done at any point before their 18th birthday. Following that, if no claim has been made, they have 3-years to make one themselves.
  • You could claim if a slip, trip or fall happened because of a third party’s error. Examples include falls caused by a broken handrail, slips caused by stock on a shop floor or a trip caused by uneven paving slabs.

Claims If Mis Sold Pensions And Investments

The Financial Conduct Authority has strict rules in place regarding the sales of products like annuities, pensions, mortgages and investments. If you lose money because a financial advisor has broken the rules, you could be entitled to compensation.

Some of the important rules include:

  • You must be made aware of any ongoing charges or fees.
  • The terms and conditions must be clearly explained.
  • Your health and lifestyle should be considered by the advisor.
  • You should be provided with a range of products to choose from.
  • Pressure shouldn’t be put on you to make a choice.

If you believe you’ve suffered financial losses due to mis-selling, our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Leicestershire could help you claim. Call today for free, no obligation advice.

No Win No Fee Rental Deposit Claims

Another type of claim we could help you begin is one for a tenancy deposit dispute. When you give your landlord your deposit to secure the property, they should:

  • Make sure it’s place into a tenancy deposit scheme within 30 days.
  • Tell you which scheme has been used, in writing, within 30 days.
  • Not remove the deposit until your lease ends.

If you believe they’ve breached those rules and you’ve lost out as a result, please contact us for advice on claiming.

Leicestershire Housing Disrepair Claims

When you rent a property, your landlord needs to ensure it is habitable. If they fail to repair a fault that their obliged to and were aware of, you could make a housing disrepair claim against them.

Some faults which could lead to a claim include:
