How To Claim With No Win No Fee Solicitors

When you come to make a compensation claim with our panel of no win no fee solicitors, your case will be handled under a No Win No Fee Agreement. Also referred to as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), this type of financial arrangement is a common way for solicitors to handle cases of negligence. A solicitor will handle the case on the basis that their legal fees will be settled with a pre-agreed percentage of the client’s compensation providing their case is successful. If for whatever reason, the client’s case is unsuccessful, then they will not be held accountable for their solicitor’s fees. As this pre-determined percentage is capped at no more than 25%, no win no fee agreements are seen to significantly reduce the financial risk of making a claim for compensation.

No Win No Fee Medical Negligence Cases

You could be entitled to compensation if you were mistreated by a healthcare professional during surgical intervention, routine check-up, cosmetic surgery or any other form of medical treatment. In the event of medical negligence cases, it is important to understand that healthcare practitioners from all sectors owe their patients a duty of care.

If you have received substandard care by the NHS or a private hospital and this has caused you to suffer unnecessarily, it will be referred to as medical negligence (or medical/clinical malpractice). A form of negligence can occur in any part of the healthcare sector.

For example, if during your time in hospital your basic needs were neglected by nurses (e.g. to use the toilet, move, wash and/or change) then it could be considered as clinical negligence as it could be both unhygienic and distressing. In addition to this, hospital staff are required to follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure that there is minimal risk of disease and infection spreading at all times. If these duties have been ignored by hospital staff and an outbreak occurs, then there could be grounds to make a claim.

No Win No Fee Work Accident Claims

In order to make a work accident claim, your personal injury lawyer must first show that your employer has acted irresponsibly within the workplace. This could be possible if you were left with an injury or illness which could have been prevented had the employer followed the correct health and safety guidelines.

Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 your employer at the very least must provide adequate training, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and an overall safe working environment to every employee. A lack of adequate protection and training could lead to a range of accidents and short-term/long-term injuries, both physical and psychological. These may include:

  • Respiratory issues
  • Burns
  • Lacerations
  • Hearing damage
  • Failure to control emergency situations due to poor safety training

However, this list is not exhaustive. In the event that you suffer a workplace accident in Merseyside which leads to an injury and/or illness caused by negligence, you could benefit from the expert services of our panel of no win no fee solicitors who cover the Merseyside area. Our panel could help you claim compensation for your suffering and they are just a phone call away.

No Win No Fee Holiday Compensation Claims

A no win no fee solicitor from our expert panel could help you receive compensation for injuries and/or illnesses suffered while on holiday in or outside of the UK. To make a holiday compensation claim, you must firstly distinguish to our advisors whether your holiday was booked independently or as part of a package holiday through a UK-based tour operator.

If the accident took place on an entity included within a package holiday then the tour operator could be held liable if they are found to have breached their duty of care. This could be on any arrangement provided by the tour operator including a flight, hotel or excursion. For these types of cases, the claim would be made under Package Travel Regulations.

However, if the holiday was booked independently either by yourself or those who accompanied you during your time away, then the claim would have to be directed towards the relevant third party accountable for the holiday aspect in question. This means that your claim would be made under the laws of the country you were injured in or under the Montreal Convention (1999) depending on the circumstances of the case.

Fortunately, our panel of solicitors covering Merseyside are well versed in the laws of several foreign countries and therefore could possess the knowledge and expertise to conduct successful personal injury claims.

Victim Of Violent Crimes In Merseyside Compensation Claims

A blameless victim of violent crime could face a significant loss of earnings from being unable to work on medical costs on top of any physical or psychological injuries suffered from the crime. For those suffering from situations similar to this, the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (CICA) is a Government authority which looks to award settlement amounts to victim of criminal injuries.

To be eligible for criminal injuries compensation, a person must first report their circumstances to the police in order for the events to be registered as a crime. It does not matter if the perpetrator has been caught, named or convicted; as long as the claim is made within the 2-year criminal injury-time limit it will be valid. However, for those who have endured historical sexual abuse, the time limit may be waivered.

An advisor from our expert team could help you decipher whether you can make a claim or not, call us today on the number above.

Other Accidents In Merseyside You Could Claim For

  • Public liability

Compensation If Mis Sold A Pension Or Financial Service

A financial advisor has a duty of care to avoid giving their clients bad or misleading advice as it could cause a person to be mis sold a pension, stock investment or other forms of financial product. It is against the law for any company to mis-sell financial products and investments to their customers. If, however, circumstances such as these do occur, the client could be entitled to claim compensation for their financial loss.

This could be for a number of different products, including:

  • Payment Protection Insurance (PPI)
  • Pension schemes
  • Stock investments
  • Annuity

No Win No Fee Tenants Deposit Compensation Claims

When a tenant comes to rent a property, they will usually be required to secure the property in question with a deposit. Once this deposit has been paid, the landlord is legally required to follow three basic measures to ensure the money is secured safely. By law, a landlord must:

  • Place the deposit in a Government approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS).
  • Inform the tenant in writing of which TDS has been used within 30 days of payment.
  • Return the deposit in full, unless there is valid reason no to, within 10 days of the tenancy ending.

Failure to comply with any of the steps above without a valid reason as to why these protocols have not been met could result in a compensation claim with the help of no win no fee solicitors. You could be entitled to up to three times the original deposit paid for your circumstances.

Housing Disrepair Claims Against Landlords In Merseyside

If a landlord fails to maintain acceptable safety standards for his/her tenants living in a rented property, it could not only be a stressful experience for those living there but it could also be potentially bad for the tenant(s) health too. These circumstances encompass a wide range of examples, including:

  • Faulty/unsanitary plumping
  • Problems/heightened bills due to water ingress
  • Missing/damaged brickwork
  • Damp/mould/could related health problems

The law, therefore, requires all agents, landlords and property owners to ensure that living standards are maintained to an acceptable level at all times for those living there. If a person reports an issue and their property owner ignores the issue raised, a tenant could receive compensation for any health issues suffered as a result.
