Using no-win, no-fee solicitors
When you make a compensation claim, there's no need to spend lots of cash on solicitors' fees. By using no-win, no-fee solicitors you won't have to pay your solicitor's fees until you get your compensation payout, and even then the other side has to pay it, meaning you get 100% of your compensation.
What does no-win, no-fee mean?
No-win, no-fee means that whether you win or lose your case you should not have to pay any legal fees. This is because, in no-win, no-fee claims, the solicitors will recover their legal fees from the person responsible for your injuries.
Why use no-win, no-fee?
The great benefit of using no-win, no-fee solicitors is that it reduces the risk that you face in making a claim: if you don't win - you don't pay! It also helps if you don’t have the cash to pay solicitor’s fees at the time, but have a strong case.
This takes the stress out of no-win, no-fee injury claims.
What to ask your no-win, no-fee solicitor
Always check with your no-win, no-fee solicitor whether you will have to pay any of the following:
- Any costs/disbursements – expert report costs; court fees; etc
- Any insurance premium payment – this one-off payment, if required, will provide insurance coverage to cover your opponent's costs and your own expenses if you don’t win your case, so that you’re not out of pocket
- Risk assessment fee – this covers the solicitor’s time to look at your case and decide whether you have a strong case
- Success fee – no-win, no-fee solicitors may charge a "success fee" on top of their normal fees to reflect the risk involved in the case; normally, this is paid by the losing side so you shouldn’t be affected
Once your solicitor has explained this to you and you are happy, you can go ahead and sign a Conditional Fee Agreement - i.e. no-win, no-fee agreement - and the solicitor will get started on your case.
