Are there lawyers who don’t charge you for claims?

You can say that, technically speaking, it would be very rare indeed for a lawyer not to charge you for a claim. When you make a claim for personal injury compensation on a no win, no fee agreement, it is usually the case that the legal fees incurred by your lawyer are your fees. They have to be your fees so we can recover them from the other side.

But since the government changes from April 2013 it is highly likely that you will incur a charge that you will need to pay for yourself. So how does it work and are there lawyers who don’t charge you for claims at all?
