No Win No Fee Personal Injury Claims

You may of heard the term ‘No Win, No Fee’ before. It is often used in advertisements for law firms who specialise in claiming compensation for those who are injured in accidents.

Often, people are entitled to compensation for an injury they may have received but they do not make a claim. People fear that there may be hidden costs involved and they do not understand how the whole process works.

No win, no fee arrangements were first introduced in 1995 to aid those people who had claims to make but whose claims were not covered by legal aid. In the year 2000, legal aid was abolished for the purpose of making a compensation claim for personal injury and now nearly all cases for injury compensation work on a no win, no fee basis.

If you do not win your case then you are not liable for any costs incurred whilst fighting your case. For this reason, solicitors will carefully vet your case to weigh up the chances of success. If there is a low chance of success in making your claim then you may have trouble finding a solicitor to take the case on.

If you do decide to pursue a claim for personal injury compensation, make sure you choose a reputable company to represent you. You will be able to find a lot of testimonials on the internet.
