No Win No Fee Claims: Get the Compensation You're Owed Without Losing Anything
According to LFS, under the guise of HSE (Health & Safety Executive), more than 60,000 employees reported cases of non-fatal injuries at the workplace in the last few years alone. However, what’s been more shocking, many of them didn’t claim for personal injury compensation. While approached, the majority claimed they weren’t aware of the possibility of the process to be free.
Now, every year, thousands of personal injury cases occur in England and Wales and not just in workplaces, but on the busy streets where people are going about their days with uncertainty hanging over their heads, and less awareness about their right to compensation. Which is unfortunate, because they will find we are simply a phone calls reach.
If you are hesitant in seeking professional help due to money concerns, throw your fears into the nearest bin before making the call. As hard-earning citizens ourselves, we know your money’s worth. Here at RU1NJURED, our panel Solicitors all offer No Win, No Fee agreements. If we can’t get you the compensation you are owed, you owe our panel Solicitors nothing, with no upfront or hidden charges, disrupting your day or your bank balance, even your initial advice and information provided is free.
It’s as transparent as that: If we don’t win, you don’t pay.
How Does No Win No Fee Work?
We’re all adults here, life’s hardship has taught us enough about the bitter terms and conditions that seem too sweet on the top. So, it’s understandable if you fear that you’ll end up with less money than before in the form of a fee for legal consultancy even if we don’t win the case. Fortunately for all of us, the legal system in England and Wales is considerably flexible and No Win No Fee agreements are a prime example of that.
Wondering, how does no win no fee work? There is actually no hidden condition there, it’s a pretty transparent agreement on its own merits.
No Win No Fee’ is basically a tagline for what is known as a CFA, short for Conditional Fee Agreement, an arrangement for situations where people pursuing legal claims don’t have to pay an upfront charge for the service. In this agreement, the client is not required to pay a legal fee for taking up consultancy services, whilst our panel of personal injury Solicitors only get paid when they win the case.
How CFA (Conditional Fee Agreement) Works:
- When starting the personal injury case, you don’t have to pay the Solicitor any upfront charge.
- The Solicitor can only take a percentage of the compensation decided at the initial point of the CFA.
- The Solicitor’s percentage is pre-agreed upon.
- In England and Wales, the Solicitors can take up to 25-40% of the personal injury compensation awarded depending on the nature of the claim.
- If the case fails, you don’t owe your Solicitor a legal fee for the case.
Who Is No Win No Fee Intended For?
No Win No Fee is attainable for each and every citizen in England and Wales. The agreement was conceptualized to help people in need, who aren’t financially capable of bearing the cost of hiring a Solicitor for their case. Under the CFA, they can seek the required legal advice without the burden of fees, escalated from the severity of the situation.
However, it’s not completely need-based; everybody is eligible to obtain a CFA if certain criteria are met. Even financially capable clients often use No Win No Fee agreements.
What Percentage Do Solicitors Take in a No Win No Fee Case?
The percentage deducted from a Conditional Fee Agreement varies from case to case depending on the nature of the compensation and complexity of the matter. According to the UK percentage differences in general sum up to this:
- Under the Conditional Fee Agreement Order 2013, the Solicitor can take up to 25% of total compensation for personal injury cases. This includes personal injury accident claims at the workplace, at a warehouse, or on the street either as a cyclist, pedestrian, motorcyclist or a passenger of a vehicle.
- No Win No Fee accident at work claims against large companies can exceed 25% and range up to 35% instead.
- It’s usually 25-35% for housing and tenancy dispute cases.
- The share percentage can reach up to 50% for commercial and business disputes.
