No Win, No Fee Claims

Our law firm offers personal injury claims on a “No Win, No Fee” basis, also known as a conditional fee agreement. One of the main benefits of making a no win, no fee personal injury claim is that you are unlikely to be required to pay any fees if your claim is unsuccessful.

We always offer the ‘No Win No Fee’ Agreement in conjunction with an After the Event (ATE) Insurance policy so that you will not be at risk of incurring any adverse costs if the case were to fail.

This means that you will not have to pay any fees if you lose, and you will therefore be able to pursue your claim with a great degree of security. If you are unsuccessful in your case, you will not have to pay for the ATE protection.

If your claim is successful, you will be responsible for the payment of our success fee and the insurance premium which would be deducted from your final award of compensation. More information can be given around our retainer and ATE Insurance premium during your initial consultation.

What is the process for personal injury claims?

During your initial consultation, our specialist solicitors will provide you with legal advice about personal injury claims and will inform you about the relevant limitation rules.

Our personal injury lawyers will then ask you for details about your accident and the initial injuries that were suffered as a result. This will help our injury lawyers to assess the likelihood of your claim being successful.

During these initial stages of your claim for compensation, it is vital that you gather the relevant evidence to support your claim. Relevant evidence may include CCTV footage of the incident, medical records, accident books, photographs of your injuries, and witness statements.

Your personal injury solicitor may also ask that you undergo an official medical examination in order to receive medical reports about the injuries that you have sustained. These medical reports will provide vital medical evidence of the nature and extent of your injuries. Even if you have received other medical care prior to starting your accident claim, a more thorough medical assessment may still be needed to produce detailed, accurate, and reliable medical reports.  

How much compensation could you receive?

In the UK, the amount of compensation for a personal injury claim varies based on the severity of the injury, financial losses, and the impact on your life. Compensation is typically divided into two main categories: general damages for pain and suffering and special damages for financial losses.

General damages compensate for the non-monetary impacts of the injury, primarily focusing on the pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment in life. These damages can be harder to quantify, as they relate to the personal impact the injury has had on you.

Special damages cover the financial losses and expenses incurred because of the accident, both current and anticipated future costs. These damages are generally easier to quantify, as they’re based on actual expenses and financial records.
