No Win No Fee

No Win No Fee Compensation

So, which are the situations that can make you eligible for requesting a compensation claim under a no win no fee arrangement? You can easily find a solicitor who works on this basis if you’ve suffered one of the following: an accident at work, a road accident, an injury caused by a mistake in your medical treatment or an accident suffered in a public place. So, when going for this, there can basically be 2 outcomes:







YOU WIN a compensation claim...

In the happy ending case that you win, you’ll still have to pay a great amount of money, much more than in the case of losing, but that should be well covered by the compensation you get, which will make it all worth it. The solicitor has two types of fees actually: the basic fee and the success fee. The basic fee is the bigger one, and you only have to pay it in case of success. The success fee may even be paid by your opponent, but not entirely. So, in conclusion, if you win you will have to pay your solicitor’s basic fee and a part of the success fee. However, the compensation you get and the overall profit should be 2 or 3 times bigger that your expenses.




YOU LOSE a compensation claim

It’s not impossible, it can happen. If you lose, you will have to pay the opponent’s costs and your medical expenses will remain uncovered. Of course, you won’t have to pay your solicitor. It is advisable that, in the unfortunate event that you lose, you get your after the event insurance.
