If you’re injured because of the actions or negligence of someone else, or you’ve suffered financially because of your landlord or even if you’ve been mis sold financial products by an advisor, you could launch a claim for compensation.

We could provide you with a no win no fee solicitor covering Plymouth from our panel that could help pursue your claim without needing to be paid upfront.

Below, you’ll find an explanation of what no win no fee solicitors covering Plymouth are, as well as what types of claims they could work on. If you would like to talk to us straight away or have anything in the below sections clarified, then call the No Win No Fee Expert helpline on 0800 073 8802. Otherwise, read on to learn more about these type of claims.

What Are No Win No Fee Claims?

The first thing we need to do is clarify what a no win no fee agreement is. While there are no upfront costs involved in no win no fee cases, you would use a percentage of your compensation settlement to pay the lawyer. However, what could happen is that your legal representative, whether a personal injury solicitor or a financial claims lawyer, could ask you to take out some kind of insurance to cover costs in case your case does not end successfully.

There could be significant benefits to claiming with a no win no fee solicitor. These could include:

  • Immediate ability to move forward with a claim – If you had to wait to get the money together to claim, you could be too late to put your case forward.
  • You could have the ability to pay the lawyer’s fees out of the compensation you receive, meaning you would not be out of pocket technically.
  • Your claims lawyer, whether a personal injury solicitor or other type of lawyer, would have a vested interest in the success of your case as their fees would be impacted by the amount of compensation you would receive.

Normally, you would have an agreement that you and your lawyer would both sign. This document states that the lawyer would take on your case and that you would pay them a percentage from your final settlement which cannot, by government regulations, be more than 25 percent.

Now you know more about how no win no fee solicitors work, let’s take a look at the type of claims they could take on.

No Win No Fee Solicitors For Work Injuries And Accidents

Another reason you might consider making a personal injury claim could be if you suffered a workplace condition/illness and your employer could be deemed at fault. No win no fee employment lawyers covering Plymouth could have experience in helping claimants which could maximise the level of compensation you could receive.

The different types of claims include:

  1. Workplace accidents – If you employer has failed to make the workplace safe (e.g. fitting safety guards to machinery, training you in the safe method of lifting and carry heavier object, or ensuring there is adequate lighting for you to move around the workplace safely) and you suffer some sort of accident that causes you injury, you could make a claim.
  2. Workplace developed conditions – If you have suffered from tendonitis, RSI, industrial deafness or another condition that could have developed over time because your employer failed to reduce the foreseeable risks of these conditions, you could potentially make a claim.
  3. Unfair dismissal – In the event that action taken against you is unfair then you could consider using a solicitor for an unfair dismissal claim. It could be pertinent for us to mention here that this would not happen in most cases, so it would be wise not to let this idea stop you from making a compensation claim for an injury or illness at work.

No Win No Fee Accident Abroad Injury Claims

If you suffered an illness from poor hygiene standards in a hotel, developed food poisoning, or you fell on slippery flooring due to a water spillage in the airport, you could consider making a claim for a holiday injury or illness.
