Making a no win, no fee claim

Beacon Law offer a no win, no fee service. A no win, no fee agreement is used to fund a compensation case where the victim of the accident does not have the means or does not wish to pay the costs involved as the case progresses.

A no win no fee compensation claim, also known as a “conditional fee agreement” (CFA), is a funding option which allows individuals to make a compensation claim without having to pay any legal fees upfront. Instead, the legal fees are only paid if the claim is successful.

Here’s how it works:

• The individual seeking compensation signs a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) with a solicitor.
• Under the CFA, the solicitor agrees to work on the case on the condition that they will only be paid if the claim is successful.
• If the claim is successful, the solicitor’s fees are taken from the compensation award. If the claim is not successful, the individual does not have to pay any legal fees.

It is important to note that the success fee is capped by law at 25% of the compensation award and that the solicitor must have a valid insurance to cover the risk of losing the case.

It is also important to note that the CFA may include “After the Event” (ATE) insurance that covers the risk of losing the case in case of a failure and the cost of the expenses incurred in the case, such as medical reports, court fees, and other expenses. The cost of the ATE insurance will be payable by the claimant on conclusion of their case; but only if their case is successful.

It is always advisable to seek legal advice from a solicitor before entering into a CFA, to understand the terms and conditions of the agreement, and to ensure that you fully understand the potential costs involved if the claim is not successful.

The best thing about making a no win, no fee claim is that the financial risks of litigation are minimised. If your claim is unsuccessful, in most cases, you will not be required to pay any legal fees. However, if your claim is successful, we will deduct our fees and additional costs from your compensation when your claim has been resolved.
