How No Win No Fee Funding Is Arranged
A No Win No Fee agreement is usually set out in a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This allows a compensation claim to proceed without paying solicitor fees at the beginning. Legal costs only become payable if the claim is successful. If compensation is not awarded, there are no solicitor’s fees to pay.
This funding model is intended to make legal support accessible for Merton residents while keeping costs transparent and predictable throughout the process.

Merton Case Examples

A Merton resident was injured in a collision on the A24 when another driver failed to stop at a congested junction during peak traffic. The impact caused neck and shoulder injuries, leading to persistent pain and difficulty driving. Physiotherapy was required, and time away from work was necessary during recovery.
Witness statements, vehicle damage evidence, and medical reports were used by the solicitor to establish liability. Fault was accepted following investigation. The claim settled for £22,600, covering pain and suffering, treatment costs, and loss of earnings.
Accident at Work Near Wimbledon – £28,100 Compensation
An employee working near Wimbledon suffered a serious ankle injury after slipping on an uneven floor surface in a shared work area. The hazard had not been clearly marked, and the injury required surgery followed by prolonged rehabilitation. The claimant was unable to return to work for several months.
The lawyer managing the claim reviewed accident documentation, photographs, and independent medical assessments to assess responsibility. Medical evidence confirmed the long-term impact on mobility. The case concluded with £28,100 in compensation for the injury and associated financial losses.
Medical Negligence Claim Following Delayed Referral – £40,700 Compensation
A patient registered with healthcare services serving Merton attended multiple appointments with ongoing symptoms that were not referred for specialist investigation in a timely manner. The delayed referral led to a later diagnosis and more invasive treatment, extending the recovery period significantly.
A medical negligence solicitor examined medical records and obtained independent expert opinions to determine whether earlier intervention should have occurred. Evidence showed the delay directly affected the outcome. The claim settled for £40,700, reflecting physical injury, emotional distress, and future care needs.
