No Win No Fee Agreement

If you have had an accident or been injured in the last three years and it wasn't your fault, you could get compensation by means of a no win no fee agreement (also known as a conditional fee agreement). A specialist no win no fee solicitor could help you in the following ways:

1. 'No win no fee' agreements can allow those who have been put off claiming for compensation because of financial worries to pursue the settlement they deserve for the negligence of an outside party. 'No win no fee' agreements are even more crucial now as the government have stopped giving public funding (also known as legal aid) for personal injury claim cases. After all, regardless of how minor or serious your injuries are, if you did not cause them, then it is only fair that you receive compensation.

2. A good no win no fee solicitor will tell you if your case is winnable, and will help you to gain the compensation that you deserve.

3. No win no fee agreements cover many different types of injuries, ranging from an accident in the workplace to a case of medical negligence and from a simple trip and slip accident to catastrophic brain and spinal cord injuries.

4. Accident compensation and medical negligence claims are often very complex and can take years to resolve. An experienced personal injury solicitor, under a no win no fee scheme, can continue to provide advice and support throughout this period, whilst fighting hard for the compensation you deserve.

5. A solicitor will usually strongly advise that you take out an 'after the event' insurance policy. An 'after the event' insurance policy, as its name implies, is taken out after you have suffered an injury (usually upon the recommendation of a solicitor), not before the accident occurred - making them different from other insurance policies. This type of insurance policy will make sure you are covered so that you won't have to pay costs to your opponent if you lose your compensation claim.

6. All solicitors in England and Wales should offer you the route of keeping 100% compensation in the result of a successful compensation case, allowing you peace of mind in seeking justice for your hardship at the hands of another.
