How No Win No Fee Agreements Are Set Up
A No Win No Fee agreement is usually managed through a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This contract allows a claim to progress 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 arrangement is designed to make legal representation accessible for Plymouth residents while keeping costs transparent and proportionate throughout the claims process.

Compensation may be available where avoidable harm has resulted from delayed diagnosis, medication errors, surgical mistakes, or inadequate follow-up care. - Criminal Injury Compensation
Victims of violent crime may be eligible to apply for compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, even where no prosecution takes place. - Holiday & Travel Injury Claims
Injuries sustained during UK breaks or overseas package holidays (in accordance with package holiday legislation) may still be claimable, depending on the circumstances and who was responsible. - Accidents at Work Claims
Plymouth has strong links to marine, defence, construction, engineering, healthcare, and hospitality sectors, where workplace injuries can occur if safety standards are not met.
We can also help if you have been injured in an RTA involving a hit-and-run or uninsured driver. In these cases, our solicitors could file a claim on your behalf through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB).

Plymouth Case Examples
Accident at Work at a Dockside Facility – £34,900 Compensation
A Plymouth resident working at a dockside facility sustained a serious knee injury after slipping on an oil-contaminated surface near loading equipment. The injury required surgery and extensive physiotherapy, leaving the claimant unable to return to physical work for several months. Daily activities were significantly restricted during recovery.
A solicitor reviewed incident records, maintenance logs, and independent medical evidence to assess responsibility. Medical reports confirmed long-term mobility limitations. The claim settled for £34,900, reflecting pain and suffering, loss of earnings, and ongoing rehabilitation needs.
Criminal Injury Claim Following Assault Near the Barbican – £18,700 Compensation
An individual was assaulted near the Barbican area during an evening incident, sustaining facial injuries and psychological distress. The matter was reported to the police, but no conviction followed. Hospital treatment was required, and the claimant experienced anxiety when returning to public spaces.
A solicitor prepared an application to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority using police reports, medical records, and evidence of financial losses. Independent assessments supported the claim. Compensation of £18,700 was awarded for physical injury, emotional impact, and associated losses.
Medical Negligence Claim After Delayed Diagnosis – £41,600 Compensation
A patient attending healthcare services in Plymouth experienced a delay in diagnosis after repeated appointments where symptoms were not fully investigated. The delay led to more invasive treatment and a prolonged recovery period, causing avoidable pain and disruption to work and family life.
A solicitor examined medical records and obtained independent expert opinions to determine whether earlier intervention should have taken place. Evidence showed the delay directly affected the outcome. The claim concluded with £41,600 in compensation, accounting for physical injury, emotional distress, and future care requirements.
