If you are looking to instruct a solicitor to pursue a personal injury claim on your behalf, but have concerns about how much this might cost you, ‘no win, no fee’ could be the solution you are looking for.

No win no fee* is the common name given to Conditional Fee Agreements or CFAs. The basic principle of a no win no fee* agreement is that if a claim is unsuccessful the person making the claim (the claimant) is not responsible for paying his or her legal fees, whereas if the claim is successful the claimant is responsible for paying his or her legal fees - although this will usually be recovered against the other side (the defendant) or more accurately, their insurance company. No win no fee agreements or CFAs were introduced to ensure that everyone had access to justice regardless of their financial means. No win no fee arrangements are more common in personal injury cases and without them some claimants would not be able to afford access to the justice they are entitled to. If you would like to discuss making a personal injury claim on a no win, no fee basis, contact Personal Injury Claims Bristol today.

Personal Injury Claims solicitors Bristol - No Win No Fee **

When you first contact us about making a no win, no fee claim, we will need to find out a little more about exactly what happened to you. This will help our lawyers to understand how likely your claim is to succeed, how much your claim might be worth, and whether we can actually take your claim on on a no win, no fee basis. If we are unable to offer you a no, win, no fee arrangement, we can also provide you with advice on alternative arrangements for financing your claim.

Before entering into a no win no fee agreement with your solicitor** you should ensure that you are familiar with its terms and understand them. You should not be afraid to ask your solicitor** to explain anything that is unclear. The most important thing to be aware of in a no win no fee agreement is that whilst you may not be responsible for your own legal fees, should your case be unsuccessful, you may be liable for the defendant’s legal fees although your personal injury solicitor** is obliged to discuss insurance options with you to cover these fees. You should also be aware that whilst you may not have to pay your legal fees you may have to pay your disbursements such as court fees.

No win no fee is subject to our panel’s personal injury solicitor agreeing to take on your case and appropriate insurance cover being in place. When a compensation claim is successful, there will be a Success Fee. Success Fees will not exceed 25% of recovered damages including VAT. This fee will be subject to your individual circumstances. There are a few rare exceptions, which the panel solicitor can explain to you in more detail. If no damages are recovered, then no fee is payable by you. Your agreement will be direct with the panel solicitor, who is a third party and not owned or employed by us. Early termination fees may apply if you decide not to proceed or fail to follow reasonable legal advice. Such fees would be based on an hourly fee rate as set by that panel solicitor. We may receive a payment from the personal injury solicitors to whom we pass details if your case is accepted.

If you would like to discuss making a personal injury claim on a no win, no fee basis, contact us today. When you contact us, we will be able to advise whether we are able to take on your case on a no win, no fee basis. If we cannot, we will also provide you with advice about alternative means of financing your claim. Get in touch now on 01174 538 052.

If you would like to make a personal injury claim on a no win no fee basis then you should speak with our no win no fee* solicitor** in Bristol within three years of the date of the accident that resulted in your injury.

One of the most common questions our team of Bristol lawyers hear every day is ‘Will I have to go to court?’ We understand that that may be one of your main concerns. The idea of standing up in court and justifying your claim for compensation can be terrifying and it is something that most people will want to avoid.

It is well known now that if you have suffered an injury as a result of a third party’s negligence then you could make a compensation claim against them because they are likely to have owed you a duty of care for your health and safety. For example, road users owe each other a duty of care, medical professionals owe their patients and duty of care, employers owe their employees a duty of care, occupiers owe those who pass over their land a duty of care and so on.
