What is no win no fee?
A no win no fee agreement is the contract between you and your legal team. Also known as a conditional fee agreement, it takes the financial risk out of making a claim. You don't have to pay any upfront fees and you only pay anything if your claim is successful. That's right – if your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t have to pay a thing!
The panel of expert no win no fee solicitors I partner with work on this basis. They arrange no-upfront-cost insurance for you at the start of your claim to give you peace of mind.
There are only a few, very rare, situations in which you can't make a no win no fee claim. If this is the case, your legal team will explain it to you at the very beginning of the process so you can make an informed decision about your claim.
How does no win no fee work?
A no win no fee agreement means that you aren't liable to pay legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim is successful, then your legal fees will be paid from your compensation.
Your legal team will agree the amount you pay in fees at the start of the process, so there are no surprises. The fee will only be deducted when your compensation is paid.
To reduce the risk, your solicitor or legal team may need to arrange insurance for you. No-upfront-cost insurance ensures that you’ll never be left out of pocket – that’s our guarantee.
With us, there are no upfront costs and no unexpected fees, so you can focus on what’s most important – getting back to full health and letting our panel of no win no fee solicitors do the hard work for you.
If for any reason your claim is unsuccessful, and you meet the agreement terms, you won’t be burdened with any legal fees
The panel of no win no fee solicitors I work with explain everything in plain English. If you decide to make a claim, your legal team will explain the process simply before anything proceeds so you always know exactly where you stand.

How much no win no fee compensation could I receive?
Every no win no fee personal injury claim is different, so it isn't possible to give a precise figure of how much compensation you can expect to receive.
The panel of expert no win no fee accident lawyers I work with work hard to ensure you recover the amount of compensation you deserve if your claim is successful. Compensation is dependent on various factors including:
- Injury type and severity
- Recovery time
- Medical expenses and travel costs
- Lost earnings from time off work
- Any lifestyle changes that you have had to make as a result of your injuries
- Ongoing care needs
Your legal team will be able to talk you through this in more detail.
