What Is A Conditional Fee Agreement?

We’re often asked, “What is a conditional fee agreement?”. Also known as a CFA, they are the signed contract between no win no fee solicitors and their clients. They are used in no win no fee cases and state that you only have to pay solicitors legal fees if they win compensation for you. When they do win the case, they deduct a ‘success fee’ from the final compensation amount (which is up to 25%) to cover the fees.

Because the solicitor is taking a risk by offering a no win no fee service, you’ll need to demonstrate how strong your case is before they’ll take it on. You could be eligible to claim if you can show:

  • That somebody who owed you a duty of care was negligent.
  • The negligence caused you to suffer (become ill, injured or lose out financially).

You’ll also need to make your claim within any time limit. We’ll aim to cover other time limits throughout the course of this guide.

Claim Compensation For A Traffic Accident In Sittingbourne

If you’re injured in a traffic accident in Sittingbourne, you could use a no win no fee solicitor to help make a claim if the accident was caused by another road user. There are a number of common injuries which could be compensated for including:

  • Concussion and other head injuries.
  • Neck injuries including whiplash.
  • Broken bones.
  • Strains, sprains, bruises and soft tissue damage.
  • Back injuries.

We strongly recommend that if you sustain any injury in a car accident in Sittingbourne, you seek medical treatment as soon as possible. This will mean your treatment can begin and also that medical records will be created which can be used to support your claim.

Further evidence you could gather includes photographs of the scene of the accident, witness statements and, where possible, dashcam footage of what happened.

No Win No Fee Medical Negligence Claims

When using NHS or private healthcare services, if you’re injured or made ill by the negligent treatment of a medical professional, you might be entitled to compensation.

Examples of medical negligence which could lead to a claim include:

  • A misdiagnosis that causes suffering due to a delay in receiving treatment.
  • Medication errors which cause side effects.
  • Injuries caused by negligent surgical treatment (even if you’ve signed a waiver).
  • Illnesses (like sepsis of pneumonia) caused by super bugs in hospitals.
  • Avoidable injuries caused by childbirth.
  • Pain caused by anaesthetic errors.

As well as negligent medical treatment, claims can be made for negligence in some cosmetic procedures.

No Win No Fee Sittingbourne Workplace Accident Claims

If you’re injured while at work, our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Sittingbourne may be able to help you claim compensation. If it can be shown that your employer could’ve prevented the accident or attempted to reduce the risks associated with your work environment then you might have the grounds to claim.

You might be eligible to claim if your workplace accident was caused by:

  • An unsafe working environment.
  • Broken, faulty or damaged machinery.
  • Inadequate training.
  • A lack of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Employers are not allowed to discipline you for making a claim so please don’t be put off from making a claim for compensation that you might be entitled to.

Accident Abroad And Package Holiday Injury Claims

As is the case in the UK, if you’re injured while on holiday abroad and the accident was caused by the negligence of another person, you might be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries.

Because of special package holiday legislation, you might be able to claim against your holiday provider if the accident occurred while using a service they provided you with. Alternatively, claims can be made against the responsible party if you booked your holiday independently.

It’s worth keeping in mind that while package holiday personal injury claims generally have a 3-year time limit, other claims using the legislation of the country where the accident happened might have lower time limits. Please check with an advisor as soon as possible to ensure you aren’t excluded from claiming.

Victim Of Criminal Attack Compensation Claims

You might not be aware but if you’ve been injured when a violent crime was committed against you, you might be entitled to criminal compensation. The government operates a scheme known as the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) which allows claims for psychological and physical injuries.

CICA claims have a 2-year time limit and the crime must’ve been reported. Also, in the case of multiple injuries, compensation payments differ from that of personal injury payouts.

With some cases, such as historical sex abuse cases, the time limit for claiming might be waived. Therefore, to find out whether you could make a CICA claim, please call our team today.

More Accident Claims You Could Make

We’re about to move on to other claims no win no fee solicitors covering Sittingbourne can help you make. Before we do, here are a few more claims a personal injury lawyer could help you make:

  • Claims for children’s injuries.
    Children are not able to make a claim themselves. However, at any point before they turn 18, a parent or guardian could claim on their behalf. If no claim is made, the normal 3-year time limit begins on their 18th birthday so the victim can make their own claim.
  • Slips and trips.
    There are many scenarios such as slippery floors with inadequate warning signs, broken handrails and trailing cables which could lead to slip, trip or fall claim.
  • Accidents in a public place.                                                                                                            You could also make a personal injury claim if you’re injured in a public place such as a train station, a shop, on a footpath or in a park. Claims might be against a business or the local authority.

For all claims of this nature, we suggest you report the accident where possible, photograph the cause, photograph your injuries, seek medical treatment and ask witnesses for their details. Each of these steps will provide vital evidence to support your claim.

Claim For A Mis Sold A Mortgage, Pension Or Investment

When buying financial products such as mortgages, annuities, pensions or investments, it’s reassuring to know that the advisor has to follow regulations laid down by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

If they fail to follow the rules, and you lose money because of their advice, you could claim compensation for your losses.

The main point of the rules is to ensure you can make an informed decision before buying a financial product. This means the advisor should give you a range of products to choose from, explain the terms and conditions, tell you about fees and charges linked to the product and not make promises about any potential outcome.

If you believe you’ve got a financial mis-selling case, gather any documents you have that contain negligent advice as this can be used as evidence to support the claim. Then call our team to find out whether we could help you start your claim.

No Win No Fee Tenancy Deposit Dispute Claims

To help ensure tenant’s deposits weren’t retained without good reason, the government introduced Tenancy Deposit Schemes (or TDS) in 2007. The rules regarding TDS’s mean that:

  • When you pay a deposit, the landlord must place the funds into a TDS within 30 days.
  • They should tell you which scheme they used, in writing, within 30 days.
  • They mustn’t take the money out of the scheme before the end of your tenancy.

If you believe your landlord hasn’t acted properly and you’d like to raise a TDS claim, please call one of our advisors today.

Housing Disrepair Claims Against Sittingbourne Landlords

Another type of claim no win no fee solicitors covering Sittingbourne could help with are housing disrepair claims. These are sometimes possible if a landlord has failed to fix a problem that they’re obliged to which:

  • Has made you become ill.
  • Caused you to suffer an injury.
  • Or made you lose out financially (damage to your own property etc).

The types of problems that could lead to a claim include mould, damp, blocked pipes, electrical hazards, structural defects, leaks and broken boilers.

You could claim against a private landlord as well as the council or a housing association. Try to keep emails or text messages that show you reported the problem as supporting evidence.
