No Win No Fee
Since 1998 when the Legal Aid system was completely changed, most personal injury solicitors have worked on
personal injury claims on a 'No Win No Fee' basis.
This means that if they win your personal injury claim, the other party's insurers pay all the costs including
the personal injury solicitors legal bill, and if your case does not succeed, you can be insured against the
legal costs incurred.
Claims Handlers (middlemen) have often promoted the 'No-win No-fee' service on the basis that if the personal
injury claim is lost, you pay nothing but if the case is won, the client would pay them a fee for success. This
is because personal injury claims handlers have no legal entitlement to costs.
The other area of confusion arises when a solicitor sends their bill to the insurers for payment and that insurer
only agrees to pay part of the bill. Any shortfall is often deducted from your settlement by the solicitor.
Not with us! Our promise to you is simple. No fee ever!
The personal injury solicitors we refer your personal injury claim to, will assess the claim and determine if there
is a good chance of success. If they are satisfied and you are happy to go ahead, they will place your personal injury
claim under an 'After the Event' insurance policy which will cover you against all personal injury legal costs - win
or lose. One major advantage of using our personal injury solicitors is that you do not have to pay for this insurance
policy. This is often £300.00 or more. Many (in fact most) competitors will charge you for this policy, either up
front or at the end of your personal injury claim. If it is at the end, interest is often added to the cost.
In addition to this, the personal injury solicitors we recommend also ensure that you do not pay for any other possible
costs (disbursements) such as a medical report, physiotherapy treatment, accident scene investigation, accountant's
reports, etc.
These additional costs can amount to several hundred pounds each. Very few organisations can ensure that you do not have
to pay these costs.
By using specially selected legal expenses policies, we can ensure that you are fully covered against all these potential
costs.
To summarise:
- No charge for referring your case to a personal injury solicitor
- No charge for the insurance policy
- No charge if you win
- No charge if you lose
- No charge for any shortfall on the personal injury solicitors bill
