No Win No Fee Solicitors Loughborough

When you are injured in an accident or left financially worse off because of the action of someone else, then you may be surprised to know that taking legal action could be an option you could take. This could be the case even if you don’t want to make an initial payment to a lawyer to begin a claim. No win no fee solicitors covering Loughborough could take your claim on without you having to pay upfront to secure their services. If you’d like to know more about how a solicitor could do this, then this guide could help you.

We also give guidance on what sort of claims a personal injury solicitor, criminal injury solicitor or financial compensation solicitor working to this payment structure could assist with. We hope you find the below information useful, but should you need clarification on anything, do call 0800 073 8802 to speak to our team.

How Do You Make A No Win No Fee Claim?

Making a no win no fee claim with our panel of  solicitors could be as easy as making one initial phone call to us. Once we’ve assessed your case to see if it could result in compensation, then we could offer you a solicitor from our panel to work on your claim. But how does this payment structure work?

Initially, after a consultation – usually over the phone – your chosen no win no fee solicitor would ask you to sign a ‘Conditional Fee Agreement’ (or CFA). This agreement gives details of what fees would be required and when your solicitor would expect these fees to be paid. One benefit of making claims with this payment structure is that your solicitor would not be expecting you to pay for their services upfront. Instead, in this agreement, a percentage amount would be detailed. This percentage would be the amount of compensation the lawyer would take from your eventual settlement. When your compensation settlement came through, this percentage would be deducted to pay the lawyer, and the rest would be for your benefit. Should you be worried about the solicitor being able to take the vast majority of your compensation settlement, it may put your mind at ease to know that there is a Government cap of 25% on the legal fees for personal injury claims.

One thing we should mention here would be that the solicitor in question may ask you to take out an insurance policy to protect against your claim not being successful. Details of such policies would be discussed between you and your no win no fee solicitor.

Making A Criminal Injury Victim Claim

Between the months of November 2018 and October 2019, 774 offences were reported to the police in Loughborough centre that were violent or sexual. A solicitor could help you if you are considering making a criminal injury claim to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). But you may need to act quickly, as, for many cases, a 2-year limitation period from the date of the criminal incident exists. This is shorter than a lot of other claim types, which usually have a personal injury claims time limit of 3 years from the incident date. However, there are exceptions to these.

Sexual Abuse Limitation Period

For victims of sexual abuse where the abuse happened years ago, there could be an exception to the CICA claim time limit. This could be because you may not have reported the abuse because you could not process it until much later. In these cases, you could potentially claim much later than the 2-year limitation period.
