What is no win, no fee?

A no win, no fee agreement ensures you pay no legal fees during a personal injury compensation claim unless your case is successful. Officially known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), this kind of financial agreement between solicitors and their clients has empowered thousands of people to secure the compensation they deserve, offering a straightforward path to justice.

So, what is no win, no fee, and how do Injury Lawyers 4U use them to help get our clients what they deserve?

How does a no win, no fee claim work?

When you begin a no wIn, no fee claim, we’ll arrange an After the Event (ATE) insurance policy to protect you against potential costs that might crop up during your case. This might include legal fees in the event of an unsuccessful case.

If your claim is successful, the defendant will cover the cost of your legal fees and a small portion of your compensation winnings will cover any additional legal expenses and the cost of the ATE insurance policy. This portion is referred to as a success fee. These deductions will be fully discussed and agreed upon before your claim proceeds, so there will be no nasty surprises later on.

What types of claims can you make using a no win, no fee agreement?

No win, no fee agreements can be used for a wide range of personal injury claims. The most common of these include:

Be aware, you must be careful when choosing a firm for your claim — some companies that offer no win, no fee services are not genuine law firms but “claims farmers.” These companies can charge hidden fees and lack experience in law. To ensure you’re in safe hands, choose a trusted firm with experienced lawyers like Injury Lawyers 4U.

What happens if I lose my no win, no fee compensation claim?

If your personal injury claim isn’t a success, your no win, no fee agreement will mean that you won’t pay any legal fees. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule:

If you act dishonestly or maliciously during your claim
If you breach the agreement you have with Injury Lawyers 4U

However, these scenarios are rare and exist only to suppress fraudulent claimants. If you approach us with a case, we’ll be sure to provide clear guidance to ensure you understand your responsibilities throughout the process and don’t breach your agreements.

How much will I have to pay if my no win, no fee claim is successful?

In most cases, the majority of legal fees are covered by the opposing party if your claim is successful. However, certain costs, including the success fee and the ATE insurance premium, will be deducted from your compensation.

Most of the time, this success fee is capped at 25% of your overall compensation — but be sure to discuss this with us beforehand, so you know exactly what to expect going into the case.
