No win, no fee claims

Beacon Law offers compensation services on a contingency basis, meaning you only pay if your claim is successful. Our no win, no fee agreement eliminates the financial risk of pursuing a personal injury claim as you won’t have to pay upfront for our services. If we believe your case has a good chance of winning, we will proceed with the ‘no win, no fee’ agreement.

You will need to sign a Conditional Fee Agreement that states that you will pay our fees only if your claim is successful. The ‘no win, no fee’ option reduces the financial burden of legal action, and if your claim is successful, we will deduct a portion of your compensation as a success fee. Keep in mind there is a strict time limit for filing personal injury claims, and most must be filed within three years from the date of the accident.

Most Claimants will choose to use this type of funding option so that they do not have to pay any legal fees upfront. They may also be worried about being left out of pocket if their compensation claim is unsuccessful. When making this type of claim, you will have peace of mind in knowing that you will not be required to pay any legal costs if your claim is unsuccessful.

The Process of making a personal injury claim

Once you get in contact with our accident claim solicitors, you will be asked for relevant information which will help them to assess the prospects of success for your claim. Examples of relevant information may include:

• The location, time, and date of the accident
• The accident circumstances
• The nature of the injuries sustained
• Details of any independent witnesses who may have witnessed your accident
• Details of the negligent party (the defendant)

If our accident claim solicitors are happy to proceed with your claim on a no win, no fee basis, we will arrange for a representative from our team to visit you at your home address to assist with the initial paperwork. Once we have received these documents, we will proceed to contact the defendant and notify them of your claim.

Depending on the nature of the accident, the defendant has up to 5 months to investigate the claim and provide their decision on liability. While the defendant’s responsibility is being determined, your accident claim solicitor will start collecting evidence to support your claim.

This may involve getting statements from you and anyone else involved in the incident, securing a pertinent police report, and hiring a qualified medical specialist to examine and document your injury caused by the accident.

It is important to be aware that if formal court proceedings become necessary, you will need to collaborate with your personal injury lawyer. This may involve signing various court documents prepared by your solicitor, which will be sent to you for review and signature. In exceptional cases, you may also have to attend a final or interim hearing. Not working closely with your solicitor during this crucial phase could negatively impact your case and could result in penalties from the court, such as dismissing your claim.

How are accident claims valued?

The value of a personal injury claim is determined by several factors, including:

1. Medical expenses: The cost of any medical treatment, including past and future expenses, can be included in the claim.
2. Lost income: If the injury has caused the claimant to miss work or reduced their earning capacity, this can be taken into account.
3. Pain and suffering: A subjective element that takes into account the physical and emotional pain and distress caused by the injury.
4. Loss of enjoyment of life: If the injury has impacted the claimant’s ability to engage in activities they previously enjoyed, this can be factored into the claim.
5. Permanent disabilities: If the injury has caused permanent disabilities, the claimant may be entitled to additional compensation.

All of these factors are evaluated to arrive at an overall settlement figure that is intended to provide financial compensation for the harm suffered. The exact calculation of a personal injury claim can be complex and is best left to qualified accident claims solicitors.
