Making a No Win, No Fee Claim

At Beacon Law, our no win, no fee solicitors in Nottingham, offer services on a no-win, no fee basis. A no-win, no-fee agreement is used to fund a compensation case where the accident victim does not have the means to pay the costs involved as the case progresses. 

If we believe that your case has a good chance of success, we will usually agree to proceed with your case under a ‘No Win, No Fee’ agreement. One of the most important features of a ‘No Win No Fee’ Agreement is that this firm will not charge you any legal fees if you are unsuccessful in your claim. If your claim is successful, then our firm will take a success fee out of the compensation awarded, which is capped by law at 25% of the settlement amount.

A Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) is a required document that needs to be signed. This agreement states that you will only be charged if your case is successful.

The main benefit of making a no-win, no-fee claim for compensation for your injuries is that the financial risks of litigation are reduced. In most cases, you will not be required to pay any legal costs if your claim is unsuccessful. If you successfully win your case, we will deduct our fees from your compensation when your claim has been settled.

What is Legal Expenses Insurance?

A CFA may include “After the Event” (ATE) insurance that covers the risk of losing the case 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 at the 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.

You typically will only be required to pay the After the Event Insurance cost if your claim was successful. If you were unsuccessful, this fee will be waived.

How a personal injury claim is valued

If you have suffered a personal injury, you can claim two types of compensation. These are known as general damages and special damages.

General Damages: General damages are designed to compensate you for the pain, suffering, and loss of amenity you suffered due to your accident. Often, the amount of general damages will depend upon the severity of your injuries and the extent of your symptoms or disability.

Special Damages: Special damages are the other losses you incur due to being injured. You can claim for any past or future expenses, but in most circumstances, you will be required to produce evidence of the expenses. The most common types of special damages include loss of earnings, any medical or rehabilitation treatment, care and assistance, travel expenditure, vehicle repairs, hire costs, and damage to personal property.

You should always try to keep a record of your expenses and, wherever possible, obtain receipts or invoices. If at any stage you believe you may need to incur any future expenses, please do speak with us to discuss this. In relation to any claim for loss of earnings, we normally request that you provide us with your employer’s details so that we may request the necessary information from them.

Your Entitlement to Make a Claim

An individual may be entitled to make a claim if they have suffered harm or loss due to someone else’s negligence. The foundation of such claims typically rests on the principles of negligence and duty of care. To succeed in a negligence claim, the claimant must establish that the defendant owed them a duty of care, breached this duty and that this breach directly caused the claimant’s injury or loss.

A duty of care arises in situations where it is reasonably foreseeable that one party’s actions could affect another, such as the responsibility a driver has to other road users. If the defendant’s actions fall below the standard expected of a “reasonable person” and result in harm, they may be considered negligent.

Furthermore, the harm suffered must not be too remote, meaning it should be a foreseeable consequence of the breach. In proving these elements, claimants demonstrate they were entitled to be protected from such harm under the law, laying the basis for a compensation claim.
