Accident SolicitorsNearly all solicitors specialising in accident claim work will be able to offer you a No Win No Fee agreement if it is suitable for your circumstances. Now that Legal Aid is no longer available for most types of claim, No Win No fee agreements have become very popular as an easy way for an injury victim to get access to justice, with free specialist advice from a solicitor readily available. No win, no fee agreementsApart from family or criminal matters, many types of claim are suitable for a Conditional Fee Agreement, commonly known as 'no win, no fee'. If your claim is successfulIn a 'no win, no fee' agreement your solicitor or lawyer will only be paid if the claim is successful. The solicitor or lawyer will also be entitled to an extra fee (known as a success fee). Both the basic fee and this extra fee are normally paid in whole or part by the losing party of the claim. There are other incurred costs (such as court fees or the fee for a medical report). These are normally known as disbursements. Again, the losing party should pay all or part of these costs. You are liable to pay your solicitor for any costs that the losing party is not ordered to pay. |
