What Does No Win No Fee Mean?

No Win No Fee refers to the kind of contract that you use to fund your solicitor’s work. There are a few different kinds of arrangements that fall under this umbrella, all of which differ in some way, but the basic premise is this:

  • You don’t pay anything upfront for your solicitor’s work
  • You don’t pay for their work as the claim goes on
  • You don’t pay for their work if the claim fails

What Is A Conditional Fee Agreement?

Our solicitors use a popular kind of No Win No Fee arrangement called a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This kind of agreement allows you to benefit from the services of a solicitor without having to pay for their work upfront.

In fact, you’ll only need to pay a success fee if your solicitor assists you in making a successful claim. This success fee is taken as a percentage, which is capped by law, which means they can only take a certain amount.

Under some kinds of agreements, the claim is only considered a success if you receive a certain amount of compensation, in which case a pre-agreed amount of that compensation is shared with your solicitor. This is called a Damages-Based Agreement.

What Is After The Event Insurance?

After The Event (ATE) insurance covers the legal costs and expenses related to your claim. Usually, your solicitor will take out ATE insurance on your behalf. In many instances, you only pay for the ATE if you successfully claim compensation.

Why Should I Work With A Solicitor On My Claim?

So, why should you work with No Win No Fee solicitors on your claim? The legal process can differ depending on what you are claiming for, so even if you do have some prior knowledge, there may be some steps or processes that you are unaware of.

If you choose to work with a specialist solicitor, they will do all they can to make sure that you are not only kept up-to-date with what’s happening in your claim but also give you a deeper understanding of what to expect from the claims process.

For example, a solicitor can help you support your claim by gathering evidence to strengthen your case, whether that be personal injury, data breach, or criminal injury. This can include speaking to witnesses, and seeking out CCTV footage. They can also arrange for you to undergo an independent medical assessment of your injuries.

They could also help you negotiate a settlement that fully encompasses all of your losses, both physical and financial.

My Insurance Company Suggested A Solicitor, Do I Need To Work With Them?

No, you don’t need to work with the solicitor suggested by your insurance company. You have full control over who represents you in a compensation claim.

The Benefits Of Claiming Compensation

Claiming compensation can be very beneficial in a number of ways. The first is that a successful claim and admission of liability can help to restore a sense of justice following the accident.

Compensation can also be helpful as a practical asset if you’ve experienced financial losses as a result of your injuries or the harm you’ve suffered. Special damages, which can form a portion of your compensation, can help you recoup these losses. For example, you could get special damages to cover the cost of:

  • Lost earnings
  • Childcare
  • Private medical treatment to avoid NHS waiting times
  • Mobility aids
  • Home adjustments or relocation costs
  • Travel costs to and from appointments

What Is An Interim Payment?

In some serious injury claims, your lawyer could help you apply for an interim payment. Serious injuries like brain injuries and amputations can bring immediate and significant financial burdens, and an interim payment can help.

Essentially, an interim payment is an advance on your compensation to help you cover immediate financial losses caused by your injuries. Because of this, you’re only likely to receive an interim payment if your claim has a high chance of succeeding.
