No Win No Fee No Risk

No Win No Fee No Risk

We can work for you on a "no win, no fee, no risk" basis, which means that if you lose, we don't get paid and you don't pay anything, and If you win, your compensation and our legal fees will be claimed from the Defendant's insurance company. In other words you are able to make a claim for a personal injury without you having to take any risk.

Until August 1995 to claim compensation for an injury a person would either have to qualify for Legal Aid or pay privately. Legal Aid could be difficult  since the injured person could be prevented from qualifying because of income or having too much in savings or capital assets. Therefore a lot of people did not qualify for Legal Aid.

If a person could not qualify for Legal Aid, then the only other way of bringing a claim was to do it privately which meant that they would not only be responsible for their own laywer’s fees but also the opponent’s legal fees, which would expose the injured person to a significant risk.

That all changed in August 1995 with the introduction of “no win no fee” (also called Conditional Fee), which meant that people could now instruct lawyers on the basis that the lawyers would only be paid if the case was successful, and therefore they no longer had to take the risk. The lawyers would take the risk instead.

For some years after 1995 lawyers were entitled to charge what is called a success fee, which was an additional amount on top of the normal fees to reflect the fact that they took the risk. This has now all changed and the additional fee paid to the lawyer if the case is successful is now paid by the opponent, not you.

Therefore if you are successful in your case you will receive your compensation and the legal costs will be claimed against the Defendant. If you are unsuccessful then you can walk away without it costing you anything at all.

You really do not have any risk. The risk is taken by us, and not by you. When we say we will act for you on a no win no fee no risk basis we mean just that - this gives you a risk free means of pursuing a legal claim.

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND POSSIBLY A LOT TO GAIN
