Making a No Win, No Fee Claim
Beacon Law offers 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 professional 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.
Time limits for a personal injury claim
Before starting your claim for compensation, it is important to note that there are strict time limits on personal injury claims. From the date of the accident that caused the injuries, the injured party will have 3 years in which to commence proceedings for claiming compensation.
It must be noted, however, that there are some exceptions to this rule:
For example, if the claimant was under the age of 18 at the time of the incident, they have until their 21st birthday to make their compensation claim. In the meantime, provided that the claimant is still under the age of 18, a litigation friend such as a parent, guardian, or close family member could claim compensation on their behalf.
Another exception to the 3 year time limit occurs when the claimant who has suffered an injury does not have the mental capacity to begin their compensation claim. Rather than being limited to making a claim within 3 years from the date of the incident, the claimant is entitled to begin their compensation claim at any moment in time once they regain the mental capacity to do so. A litigation friend may also claim on their behalf.
