What Is a No Win No Fee Accident Claim?

A no win no fee accident claim, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), is a legal arrangement between you and your solicitor. Under this agreement, you won’t pay your solicitor’s fees if your claim is unsuccessful. This gives you peace of mind that you can seek compensation without facing costly legal bills.

If your claim is successful, a pre-agreed success fee (capped by law at 25% of your compensation) is deducted from your final settlement. The rest is yours to support your recovery and cover any financial losses you’ve suffered.

Types of Accidents Covered

No win no fee claims can cover a wide range of personal injury situations, including:

● Road traffic accidents

● Accidents at work

● Slips, trips or falls in public places

● Injuries caused by faulty products

● Accidents on private premises or rental properties

If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, it’s always worth speaking to a solicitor for a free initial consultation.

The Step-by-Step Process

Here’s how the process typically works when you make a no win no fee accident claim:

1. Free consultation:

We start with a no-obligation chat to assess your case. We’ll ask about what happened, your injuries, and any evidence you have.

2. Gathering evidence:

Once we take on your case, we’ll collect supporting documents such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.

3. Presenting the claim:

We notify the party responsible for your injury (or their insurer) and outline your case for compensation.

4. Negotiation or court:

Most claims settle out of court, but if needed, we’ll represent you through the court process.

5. Settlement or outcome:

If successful, you’ll receive your compensation, and our fee will be taken from the final amount. If unsuccessful, you won’t pay our legal fees.

What Will It Cost Me?

One of the key benefits of a no win no fee accident claim is that you don’t need to worry about upfront legal fees. If your claim is successful:

● You’ll receive compensation for your injuries and any financial losses.

● A success fee (up to 25% of your compensation) is deducted as agreed in advance.

● Any additional costs, such as court fees or medical report charges, are usually covered by After the Event (ATE) insurance which we’ll arrange on your behalf.

If your claim is unsuccessful, ATE insurance helps cover these other costs, so you won’t be left out of pocket.
