\"\"At first glance you may think you know what no win no fee<\/a> means. But when it comes down to a situation when you have had an accident and it was not your fault, and you really think about the term, there may be a few questions which you may have.<\/p>\n

Many of our clients upon approaching The Injury Lawyers<\/a> with a potential claim ask questions such as:<\/p>\n

How do you get paid if I win my case<\/em><\/strong>?<\/p>\n

How do you get paid if I lose my case<\/em><\/strong>?
\n<\/p>\n

Are there any situations where I may have to pay something<\/em><\/strong>?<\/p>\n

I will now address many of the answers to these questions in this blog post.<\/p>\n

If you have had an accident which was not your fault and you have suffered an injury you may be entitled to bring a claim for compensation<\/a>. It is advisable to seek out an injury lawyer who will work on a genuine no win no fee<\/a> basis as this reduces the risk to yourself. Now, in a genuine no win no fee agreement such as our agreement<\/strong>, if a claimant wins their case they get 100% of their compensation<\/strong>; and 100% really means 100%<\/strong>. You are entitled to be fully compensated for your injuries and suffering \u2013 if the solicitor took a proportion of it, this would not be the case. The solicitor, when a case is won, claim their costs (price of his\/her time spent on your case) separately from the other side<\/strong>. The difference with us is that we limit our fees to whatever we recover from the other side; so we cannot charge you for a successful claim.<\/p>\n

If your case is unsuccessful, solicitors usually have an \u2018after the event<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 insurance policy in place which covers any disbursements (items paid out on your behalf) they have made on your claim so you should not have to pay for anything.<\/p>\n

Upon signing up to a solicitor on a no win no fee<\/a> basis you will usually be asked to agree to that firm\u2019s Conditional Fee Agreement<\/em><\/strong>. This is the agreement which sets out the terms of the no win no fee<\/a> arrangement. This must be read extremely carefully, especially for the parts that refer to the solicitor\u2019s costs<\/strong>. It is advisable to check the solicitors costs are restricted to what they can recover so they cannot come to you for any of the remainder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we work under a genuine no win no fee<\/a> agreement and our costs are restricted to what we get from the other side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
