What Is Conditional Fee Agreement?

A Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), is the legal name for the kind of fee arrangement a No Win No Fee personal injury solicitor offers. When using the services of No Win No Fee solicitors covering Oxfordshire residents gain the following financial benefits:

  1. No fee is charged by the solicitor when they begin handling a claim, there is no fee to start a new claim, or for the pre-claim legal advice, the solicitor will provide.
  2. Processing a claim can take some time. The solicitor will not ask for any legal fees during the time they are processing the claim on your behalf.
  3.  In the unlikely event that your claim is unsuccessful, you will not need to pay your solicitor for their fees.
  4. At the end of your claim, your solicitor will deduct the pre-agreed percentage from your settlement figure.

As you can see, you really do not pay any fee at all to your legal team until your claim has been successful, and the solicitor has received a settlement for you. This removes the need for you to fund the claim out of your own pocket and also mitigates many of the financial risks associated with making a claim. If you would like to know more about how a CFA works, please use the number near the end of this guide to speak to a member of our claims team today.

Medical Negligence No Win No Fee Solicitors Covering Oxford

We visit our GP when we are feeling ill, or attend the hospital to have an injury treated, we trust in the skill and professionalism of medical professionals to ensure that we are treated safely, and not to cause us any additional harm. Every medical professional involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients has this same duty of care to do no unnecessary harm. But of course, mistakes are made,  and from time to time a patient is harmed due to some form of clinical negligence, in a way that could leave them with a valid basis for a compensation claim. For example:

  • A GP fails to diagnose a serious medical condition, that means the patient goes without critical treatment, causing their health to suffer further.
  • A surgeon performing an operation makes a mistake and begins surgery in the wrong place, causing unnecessary incisions to the patient.
  • A nurse responsible for caring for inpatients on a hospital ward, administers the wrong medication to a patient, causing some form of adverse reaction.
  • A cancer patient has their condition diagnosed late, and this leads to a critical delay in providing treatment, and the cancer becomes worse, possibly untreatable.

All of these are examples that show how a patient can be harmed due to error, oversight or omission when receiving medical treatment. When it comes to medical negligence No Win No Fee solicitors can help the victim to make a claim, as long as it can be proven that a) the patient suffered some form of unavoidable harm, and b) that this harm was caused by a medical professional who breached their duty of care. If you speak to a member of our team, they will evaluate your claim for you, and let you know whether you have a valid cause to proceed with a medical negligence claim.

Accident At Work Claims With No Win No Fee Solicitors Covering Oxford

In the UK, every employer is bound by every regulation set out by the Health and Safety Executive. This compliance is mandatory and monitored closely. Many of these rules and regulations are aimed at ensuring that employees are provided with a safe working environment and conform to the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

For example, an employer can be liable to pay compensation to a worker, if they have not provided the correct health and safety equipment and this has resulted in an avoidable injury. Adding to this, a claim could be made against an employer if they have omitted to inform their employee of the potential risks associated with the job role, or work environment and this has led to an undue accident that has caused injuries.

As mentioned previously our panel of no win no fee solicitors are not based in Oxford but can cover the area and assist you in making a claim against your employer.

Holiday Accident, Illness And Flight Delay Compensation

Accidents causing injuries could happen at home as well as abroad. There are two basic situations here, and these are:

  1. You booked your holiday as a package, through a UK based travel vendor, and the package included transport such as plane flights, accommodation, food, or other activities or excursions. In this case, it would be the UK based travel firm that sold you the package holiday that your solicitor would pursue for damages in the event you were caused an avoidable injury due to a specific part of the package deal.
  2. You booked the holiday yourself, choosing the flights, accommodation, etc. from separate sources. In this case, it would be the provider of the travel service, such as the airline, hotel operator or local authority that your solicitor would for pursue damages.

If you come to harm due to the actions of an airport or airline, a hotel, a train operator, etc. you could be able to claim if negligence can be proven to have been the cause. You may also be able to claim for some kinds of financial or other loss, such as a delayed flight, or a cancelled flight. Call one of our advisors to discuss your circumstances now.

Violent Crimes

A victim of a violent crime may never come to know the identity of the criminal that attacked them, as they may go uncaught. In this case, CICA enables the victim to make a claim for assault, mugging, or some other form of physical assault.

Sexual Abuse

Victims of crimes that are sexual in nature, such as rape, sexual assault, etc. can make a criminal injury claim through CICA. A claim can be made for the physical harm that the victim has suffered, and also any long-term psychological harm that was caused by the incident.
