What is no win no fee?
A no win no fee claim means that there are no upfront costs to pay. Our no win no fee lawyers will take up the case on your behalf and if the claim fails, there's nothing for you to pay providing you have the appropriate insurance in place.
If you win your claim, your solicitor will typically make the following deductions from the compensation you are awarded:
- A ‘success fee' for winning the claim.
- The other side will usually be required to make a payment towards your legal costs - and expenses but any shortfall may also be deducted from your compensation.
- The cost of the premium for any legal protection insurance you may have needed to ensure your claim is risk free.
You keep the rest and this will always be the majority of the compensation awarded to you. The deductions we list above will only be made when your compensation is paid. There are no upfront costs and no hidden charges.

Frequently asked questions...
All you need to do is tell us the insurer's name and the policy number.
No win no fee personal injury solicitors only get paid by you if your case is successful. Under a no win no fee agreement, your solicitor will state the percentage of your award amount that will be paid to them before you completely agree to go further with your case.
If your case is unsuccessful, you will not have to pay any of the legal fees associated with your case. However, you must have insurance in place that will cover this and your lawyers will then be paid via your insurance company.
If you have been unfortunate enough to endure another personal injury, you could be eligible to make a new claim for compensation for your new injury. However, you cannot claim for the same injury twice.
Is there a time limit on making a no win no fee claim?
Is there a time limit on making a no win no fee claim?
Yes, in most cases you have three years from the date of the incident to begin your no win no fee compensation claim. If the injured person was under 18 at the time of the accident, a parent or guardian can make a claim on their behalf. When they reach 18, they will have until their 21st birthday to start their own proceedings as a legal adult.
There are exceptional circumstances where this three-year limit may not apply, but please ask your no win no fee specialist for further guidance. If you think your deadline may be approaching, please get in touch with us as soon as possible while we can still help you.
