What Are No Win No Fee Solicitors Covering Southport?

A no win no fee solicitor can be used for many types of compensation claims. They don’t just cover personal injury claims, they can manage claims for criminal injuries, financial losses and disputes between tenants and landlords too.

When using a no win no fee service, you could benefit because:

  • You only pay you solicitor’s fees if the case is won and you receive compensation.
  • There are no upfront fees required for the case to begin.

When your solicitor is successful, their personal legal fees are covered by a ‘success fee’. This is a percentage taken from your compensation. It is agreed when you sign the agreement and is limited to 25%. As the fee is deducted from the compensation, you don’t need to have find the money to pay it from your own bank account.

A solicitor will assess your claim and decide whether they’ll take on your case based on what happened, who was to blame and what evidence you have to support the claim. Also, you need to be within the relevant time limits. The personal injury claims time limit is generally 3-years. Other claims (financial claims, criminal claims, some holiday claims) have different time limits so please call to check if you’re able to begin.

You could claim under package holiday legislation if you booked a package holiday and the accident occurred on an element supplied by the provider or you could claim using local laws if you booked the holiday independently.

Southport Victims Of Violent Crime Compensation Claims

The government’s Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme allows victims of crime to seek compensation for any injuries sustained. The scheme has a 2-year time limit and other eligibility requirements are different to personal injury claims. You could claim for:

Physical Crimes

Crimes such as assaults could lead to a claim for your injuries and any financial losses linked to the crime (time off work etc).

Sexual Abuse

If you’ve been a victim of sexual abuse, whether recent or historical, you could seek compensation from the scheme too. In historical cases, you may still be able to claim through CICA even though you may have surpassed the 2-year time limit. Please call to discuss your claim with a specialist adviser. We understand the sensitivity of these claims so are happy to work at your pace and won’t put any pressure on you to proceed.

More Injury Claims Handled By Our Panel Of Solicitors Covering Southport

There are a few more personal injury claims that you could ask a solicitor to help with. These are:

  • Accidents involving a child.
    As a child can’t represent themselves legally, a parent could bring a case on their behalf until the child is 18. At that point, the child has 3 years to begin their own claim before their 21st birthday.
  • Slips, Trips and Falls.
    These are possible almost anywhere however not all slips and trips will be the responsibility of a third party. If somebody else causes you to slip and fall you should photograph the scene, your injuries, seek medical advice and gather contact details of any witnesses. This evidence could help you make a successful compensation claim.
  • Accidents in Public Places.
    When an accident occurs in a public place (like a park, a footpath or on a public highway), you could be entitled to compensation if it was caused by negligence. Report the accident to the local authority or business responsible and try to gather supporting evidence.

Mis-Selling Of Pensions And Annuities In Southport

There are rules and regulations in place for the selling of investments, pension, annuities and other financial products. These are governed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This means that if you’ve lost out financially because of advice which broke the FCA rules, you could make a no win no fee claim for those losses.

The guidance from the FCA to financial advisers means:

  • There should always be a range of products to choose from. This allows you to make an informed decision.
  • You should never be pressurised into purchasing a product.
  • Your health and/or lifestyle should be considered before a product is recommended.
  • Risky products shouldn’t be recommended if you’ve asked to limit your risk level.
  • You should always be fully aware of the terms and conditions, fees and charges associated with the product.

If any of the above didn’t happen when you were sold a financial product, which caused you to lose money, you might be eligible to make a claim.

No Win No Fee Tenancy Deposit Compensation Cases

A Tenancy Deposit Scheme (or TDS) is used to ensure tenants don’t lose some or all of their deposit unfairly. In some cases, claims could be raised against a landlord if:

  • They took your money out of a TDS before your tenancy ended.
  • The deposit wasn’t placed into a suitable TDS scheme within 30 days.
  • Or your landlord failed to tell you about the scheme, in writing, within 30 days.

Tenancy deposit compensation court cases are rare, and most cases should be settled amicably between your solicitor and landlord. To discuss your options, please call today.

Injury Or Illness Due To Disrepair In Rented Housing In Southport

When you rent a residential property, your landlord has certain responsibilities and a duty of care to ensure the property meets minimum safety standards. That’s the case for private landlords, local councils or housing authorities.

Therefore, if you’ve reported a problem to the landlord, which they haven’t or won’t fix, you could be eligible for compensation (although legislation exists to try and resolve these types of complaints). This could be the case when:

  • The fault causes you to become ill or injured.
  • Your personal property is damaged by the fault.
  • You’ve lost out financially as you’ve had to pay for the fault to be fixed yourself.

For housing disrepair advice, please call one of our advisers today.
