Are
you seeking a “no win no fee” compensation
for an injury sustained as a result of a road
accident, negligence or a criminal act?
Whatever your claim, making sure you have a
specialist “no win no fee” solicitor
working on your case is essential in winning
the damages you are entitled to receive under
UK law. There are many claims solicitors on the
Internet so choosing the right representative
can be daunting. There are however several important
considerations to take on board before contacting
any firm. The first and most important of these
factors is whether your solicitor offers their
clients a no win no fee agreement. Most injury
solicitors operate on a no win no fee basis
so that you do not lose any of the compensation
you are entitled to.
Under UK law, the third party in any injury
case is liable for your legal fees so you should
never have to pay any charges in order to recover
monies owed to you. There are many circumstances
in which you can claim damages under UK law,
none of which require you to pay for assistance,
which is why it's so important to check you are
entering into a no win no fee contract with
any solicitor. Once you are sure you have a no
win no fee agreement with your chosen representative,
make sure your solicitor is a specialist in the
injury area you are seeking compensation for.
If any solicitor you contact does not offer the
no win no fee agreement do not assign them your
case and explain clearly why you will not be
using their services.
Generally speaking, injury solicitors have a
specific area of injury types they work with,
which can vary from road accident to accidents
at work. Unlike larger companies who deal in
all sorts of claims case no matter what the circumstances,
a specialist firm will assign a representative
who deals only in that area. A no win no fee
specialist solicitor will also work hard to take
your case to court and not aim to settle out
of court. This is because the law seeks to make
sure that the third party responsible for any
injury takes full responsibility for the occurrence.
Ultimately this may mean, for example, that
a company has to reassess their Health and Safety
risk assessments for employees or that a council
who has been negligent in road repairs has to
undertake road works to ensure safety. This kind
of result is the aim of the injury law, as well
as to get you appropriate damages for any injury
and loss of earnings incurred, on a no win no
fee basis.
As the injured party you should also be entitled
to 100% of any compensation awarded. Some solicitors
take a portion of your award at the end of the
case so make sure that you not only get all of
the money you are entitled to but also that your
no win no fee solicitor doesn't have any nasty
surprises lined up for out of pocket costs at
the end of the case.
