No Fee
 
In 1998, the system of Legal Aid was changed and since then, most solicitors have worked on personal injury claims on a 'No Win No Fee' basis. No Win No Fee means that if your case is successful, the insurers of the guilty party will pay all the costs including your solicitor's legal bill, and if your case is not successful, you would be insured against all legal costs incurred on both sides.

Claims Management Companies have promoted the 'No-win No-fee' service for many years, claiming that if your case is lost, you will pay no costs, but if the case is won, tclients would pay them a success fee. This fee is often as much as 25% of your settlement. The other point that is not obvious, arises when a solicitor sends his/her bill to the insurers for payment and that insurer only agrees to pay part of the solicitor's bill. Any diffenrece between the bill and what the insurer agrees to pay is often deducted from the client's settlement by the solicitor.

This will not happen with us! Our promise to you is simple. No fee win or lose.

Our panel solicitors will assess your claim and establish if there is a reasonable chance of success. If they are satisfied and you are happy to go ahead with a claim, they will get you to sign an agreement to an 'After the Event' insurance policy that will insure you against all legal costs - win or lose. Another advantage in using our panel solicitors is that you will not be expected to pay for this insurance policy. This is often £300.00 or more and many competitors will charge you for this policy, either up front or at the end of your claim. If it is at the end of your claim, interest is often added to the cost at a very high rate. You may have heard some horror stories about this in the news in recent years.

Another benefit with our solicitors is that they ensure you do not have to pay for any other potential costs (disbursements) such as a medical report, physiotherapy treatment, accident scene investigation, accountant's reports, etc.

These additional charges can amount to a few hundred pounds each. Very few of our competitors can ensure that you do not have to pay these costs.

By using the right legal expenses insurance policies, we can ensure that you are fully covered against all these potential expenses. In conclusion;

No cost for referring your case to a solicitor No cost for the ATE insurance policy No cost if you win No cost if you lose No cost for any shortfall on the solicitors bill Please let us have details of your injury claim and we will get one of our panel solicitors to contact you urgently!
