Personal Injury

We can deal with your personal injury claim on a “No Win No Fee” basis. What this means is that if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be charged for the work that has been carried out by our file handlers.

“No Win No Fee” is also called a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). When you instruct us to deal with your claim, we then send our clients the CFA which you sign and return to us. It explains what is covered in the agreement and what is not covered.

Essentially, if your case is successful we will recover our cost from the third party insurers.

A Damages-Based Agreement (DBA) is a regulated agreement between a law firm and a client, in which the law firm agrees to share the risk of litigation in return for a portion of any damages recovered if the case is successful. If the claim is unsuccessful, the law firm receives no fee. This agreement is sometimes also referred to as a ‘contingency fee’ agreement and it must comply with the provisions of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 and the Damages-Based Agreement Regulations 2013 (the ‘2013 Regulations’).

A DBA is different from a CFA where your solicitor will usually not charge a fee if the claim or defense is unsuccessful but if the case is won, they receive their full fee, plus an additional success fee.
