How No Win No Fee Claims Solicitors Work

When a no win no fee solicitor takes on a claim, they’re agreeing that they’ll only get paid their fees if they win compensation for their client. This obviously comes with some risks, so they have to choose which cases to take on. Usually for a no win no fee solicitor to consider your case you’ll need to show that:

  • You suffered an injury or financial loss;
  • Caused by a negligent act;
  • By somebody who owed you a duty of care.

When the solicitor agrees to take on your claim, you’ll both sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This is the contract between both parties which shows there are no solicitors fees to pay unless compensation is awarded. When compensation is paid, the solicitor will receive a “success fee” which will be detailed in the CFA.

Success fees are deducted from any compensation to cover the solicitor’s fees and are limited, by law, to 25% of any compensation.

When you make any type of compensation claim, it needs to be made within the relevant time limit. These vary between different claim types and the time limits generally applied:

  • Personal injury claims time limit: 3 years.
  • Criminal injury claims: 2 years.
  • Package holiday claims: 3 years.
  • Financial mis-selling claims: Varies (please call to discuss).
  • Medical negligence claims: 3 years.

If you’re unsure whether you still have time to claim, please call and check, for free, with one of our specialist advisors.

  • Photograph the scene of the accident ASAP if it is safe to do so.
  • Get witness details.
  • Swap details with the other road user.
  • Try to find out if there’s any dashcam footage.
  • Visit the accident and emergency department nearest to Lytham St Annes or your GP for treatment.

Remember, to be eligible to claim, your injuries must’ve been sustained in an RTA caused by another road user’s negligence.

Here are some common injuries that are often claimed for:
