Worrying about the cost of making a claim is completely understandable, but the good news is you can almost always get expert help without paying anything upfront.
We carry out our personal injury claims on a no win, no fee basis. This means there are no upfront costs for you and, provided that you have not misled or acted against the advice that we have given you, no financial risk to you – even if your claim is not successful.
So what happens if your claim is successful? When we win a claim, we charge you with what’s known as a success fee. This is an agreed percentage taken from your compensation, which covers our legal cost and the risk we took on.
This type of funding arrangement is known as Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). It’s a legal structure designed to make sure you can pursue justice and secure the support you need without putting your own finances at risk.
There’s also a legal cap on success fees in personal injury cases. That means we cannot deduct more than 25% from the compensation awarded for your injury and for the financial losses you’ve already faced. This cap is there to protect you and ensure you keep the majority of your compensation.
