No win, no fee spinal injury solicitors Wales

If you wish to make a spinal injury compensation claim, you may be worried about incurring legal fees and legal costs. Fortunately, our specialist personal injury solicitors offer their services on a no win, no fee agreement.

In spinal injury claims, a no win, no fee agreement can be particularly beneficial for the client as spinal injuries can often result in substantial financial losses, including loss of earnings and the cost of medical care, rehabilitation and adaptations to the home. By entering into a no win, no fee agreement, the client can take legal action to recover compensation for their losses without having to worry about the cost of legal representation from a personal injury solicitor.

“No win, no fee” agreements, also known as Conditional Fee Agreements (CFAs), are funding option arrangements between a solicitor and a client. Under this type of agreement, the solicitor agrees to take on a case on the basis that if the case is lost, the client will not be required to pay the solicitor’s fees. In the event that the case is won, the solicitor will receive a success fee which will be deducted from the claimants final damages.

You can discuss our funding options in more detail with your solicitor before we start your claim.
