Linsey is an author of several articles pertaining to No Win No Fee, Compensation Claims, Personal Injury Claims and other legal articles.
There are countless adverts for No Win No Fee compensation on television, on the radio, in magazines and on billboards across the UK but is it really that simple?
Now that Legal Aid is no longer available for injury claims, No Win No Fee has become the most popular way to make a compensation claim. Making a personal injury claim in the UK should usually cost nothing for the person who has been injured. This is because all legal costs should be covered by the third party, the party that caused the injury to the claimant. Your compensation pay out is yours and yours alone. If you claim is unsuccessful the majority of solicitors will have arranged a no win no fee arrangement beforehand. Insurance will cover you against the other side’s costs; meaning that you are safe from paying put any fees yourself.
Claims cannot be made for any injury. A small cut to your arm or a twisted ankle are not injuries that are life threatening or have caused financial loss. Just because you have had an accident or relieved an injury, does not mean you will receive compensation. It is common practice for your personal in jury claim lawyer to advise you as to whether or not your case is suitable for this type of claim arrangement.
It is advisable to go to a reputable firm of No Win No Fee lawyers and make sure that they give you the time and care your case deserves. A solicitor who is an expert in your type of injury claim will be appointed to you in order to give you the best advice possible. Your solicitor will not get paid if you are not successful with your claim so they will enquire at some depth into the evidence you have to support your case.
Most of these companies will have websites from which you can gauge the amount of compensation you may receive and if your injury is serious enough to make a claim in the first place. Online forms can be filled out and a company representative will get back to you and further your claim. The process will be explained to you from your solicitor sending the defendant a Letter of Claim to the claim going to court. You will then be put in touch with a solicitor in your area who will take over your case and attempt to get you justice and a lump sum.
It seems as though making a compensation claim is really fuss free and with plenty of information available you can see whether your injury is worth taking the case to court.
