No Win No Fee compensation claims
Making a personal injury claim in the UK should always involve no fees to the person who has received the accident injury as all legal costs should be paid by the third party should the compensation claim be successful. In the event that your accident injury claim is un-successful most injury solicitors will have already agreed to a no win no fee arrangement with the personal accident victim they are representing - whether this is through a legal insurance policy depends on the injury lawyers own standards of practice. Not all accident claims can have this no fees arrangement, but these tend to include only personal injuries that have occurred from medical negligence as the compensation claims process in these types of injury accidents is lengthy and sometimes speculative. The same applies to criminal injury claims and Scottish claims. Most personal accidents that occur in Scotland are also subject to injury solicitor fees but these are generally only if the claim is successful. Always check and get written confirmation from the injury lawyer you have chosen to help you with your accidents claim.
Making an accident compensation claim
Personal injury compensation is not a lottery win, an injury claim should only be made where accident injuries have occurred that have caused you pain and suffering and/or financial loss. Accidents compensation will not be paid out for near misses (e.g. prescribed the wrong drugs by GP but pharmacist noticed) or a personal injury that does not really affect your life (e.g. a cut on your hand that heals quickly and without fuss). Just because you have been injured does not mean you will definitely get accident compensations no matter how good your injury lawyer might be. Remember, for an injuries claim to be successful you will need evidence from an injury specialist such as a doctor for your personal injury solicitor to even begin the accident compensation process. Injuries compensation amounts are based on the actual suffering felt, not on how much money the opposition has or what the court considers a fitting punishment (unlike injury compensation in the US) and is generally calculated by an injuries specialist.
Engaging a personal injury solicitor
Every injury solicitor should offer you a no win, no fee arrangement where you are not charged whether the injury claims are successful or not. Not every situation is the same but the injuries lawyer that you speak to will discuss all the options regarding your compensation claims with no obligation on your part. The injury specialists we advertise on this site are generally long term established actual legal firms, many of whom are the leaders in their field.*
