A No Win No Fee personal injury solicitor is a solicitor who specialises in handling claims for compensation in personal injury cases.

A good No Win No Fee claims solicitor should have the experience to know if you have a valid claim or not and will advise you through the process.

The personal injury solicitor should always fight your case on a No Win No Fee agreement basis. Your solicitor will only take on the claim if they think you have a reasonable chance of success, as they can only get paid legal fees if they win your claim for compensation.

What is No Win No Fee?

No Win No Fee is a fee agreement between you and your solicitor when making a personal injury claim. The No Win No Fee agreement is also known as conditional fee agreement. 

The No Win No Fee agreement allows you to make a personal injury claim without the risk of facing a hefty bill if your claim is not successful.

No Win No Fee agreement means that the solicitor only applies a fee if they win the case for you. As long as the case is not pursued dishonestly, you do not pay legal costs if the case is unsuccessful, nor do you pay the solicitor of the party you are claiming against should the claim fail.

How does No Win No Fee work?

No Win No Fee agreements can take the financial risk out of your claim.

You will only pay with a No Win No Fee compensation claim when the legal firm wins your case. In many cases, the legal team of the losing negligent party pays some or all of the legal fees when you win the claim.

You might finish up paying very little in fees, even if you are successful.

You can pay any balance of legal costs due from your compensation award. Before starting a personal injury claim for compensation, you should agree on all fees and how they are paid with your legal team.

How much do I pay if I win?

How much you pay if you win a No Win No Fee personal injury case handled by Personal Injury Team will always be capped at a maximum of 25% of the compensation awarded. This is known as a “success fee”

The 25% fee includes VAT, and if instructing us, there are absolutely no extras. Depending on the size of the case and how much work is needed to be done, the success fee  could be less than 25%; In very large cases, we may be able to work without a success fee at all. 

If you win, your opponent’s insurance company pays most of your legal costs, and Personal Injury Team will always limit the amount you have to pay to a maximum of 25% of your compensation. 

Some firms may charge more, may seek to charge you for an insurance policy,  or insist on a fee being paid upfront before they will handle your case.

At Personal Injury Team, we limit the amount you ever have to pay to 25%, and that is only due if you win the claim.

How to make a no win no fee claim for personal injury compensation

To make a claim for personal injury compensation, there are usually a few standard steps to follow. We will guide you through the entire process from first contact through to the conclusion of your claim.

Instruct a No Win No Fee personal injury solicitor as soon as possible. A personal injury solicitor can look at your case, see the extent of your injuries and how it might form a personal injury compensation claim.

Only a No Win No Fee personal injury solicitor will have the experience and the team to handle your claim. They will know what your claim may be worth and how to get the best results for you.

You may require medical treatment or investigation if you have suffered an injury due to an accident. It is important that the nature and extent of your injuries are contemporaneously recorded in your medical records.

This may be in a consultation with your GP if you have less severe injuries which do not require immediate treatment but do not clear up in a reasonable timeframe. You may need investigations, referral to a specialist, or maybe physiotherapy.

Of course, in a serious or life-threatening personal injury claim, you will attend A&E, and the hospital medical records will detail your injuries and treatment.

The solicitor gets all details and evidence to support your case in the next step of the claims process.

Your Personal Injury Team solicitor will speak to you and obtain a detailed description from you of how the accident happened, all injuries suffered, and the financial losses you sustained.

An experienced personal injury expert will assess the case. If they confirm you have a valid personal injury compensation claim, they can discuss the next steps in the process with you and answer any of your questions.

The personal injury solicitor submits the claim through a “Claim Notification Form” to begin the formal process for most claims which are likely to be worth less than £25,000. Your solicitor sends the Claim Notification Form to the negligent party or their insurance company.

Most personal injury claims go through an online Claims Portal. Your personal injury lawyer will send the form through the portal directly to the insurance company on your behalf.

The insurance company has to respond within a set time. The deadline varies depending on the type of claim, and it is three weeks for a road traffic accident and up to eight weeks for a public liability claim.

In claims likely to be worth more than £25,000, the claim is started by your solicitor sending a “Letter of Claim” to the defendant or their insurance company. The law allows them three months to respond to the claim formally and either admit or deny liability.

Your Personal Injury Team lawyer will advise you of the time limit applying to your case.

Getting the response from the negligent party informs your personal injury solicitor how the case is likely to proceed.

The negligent party can either admit liability in the case or state that they intend to defend it.

When the negligent party decides to defend the case, it is known as ‘denying liability’ in legal terms.

If the negligent party admits liability, which often happens, your personal injury solicitor will obtain medical evidence. You may need to have a consultation with a medical expert that your solicitor will arrange. Once completed, medical evidence and details of your financial losses will be sent to the insurer.

The negotiation period then starts, often resulting in the settlement of your claim. You would be closely involved in this process and given expert advice throughout – no compensation would be agreed upon without your authority.

In very large claims, you are likely to have to see a number of medical experts over a longer period. When the injuries suffered are significant, it can take a long time until the final prognosis is known. Your solicitor will advise you on the likely timescales and when, tactically, will be the best time to enter settlement discussions with the defendant.

Often, claims for life-changing injury will be negotiated at a “settlement meeting” with the defendants. The two sides may meet. During the meeting, your case will be outlined, and negotiations will take place.

You would be at this meeting and be closely involved in this process, and no settlement would be agreed upon without your authority.

At this stage, your solicitor, and sometimes a barrister, will handle the meeting and advise you on what is on offer and what level of compensation to accept.

Going to court is the final step if the negligent party does not accept responsibility for your personal injury or if the negligent party admits liability but refuses to pay a fair amount to you in compensation.

Issuing court proceedings is handled by your solicitor.

Although court proceedings are started in some cases, very few personal injury cases make it to a court case before a judge. The vast majority will settle before having to issue court proceedings, and even where proceedings are issued, few cases end up at a trial.

Your Personal Injury Team solicitor will advise you through the entire process from start to finish.
