No Win No Fee Claims

No win no fee claims refer to compensation claims for personal injuries you receive in accidents that were the fault of someone else. It means that if you contact a lawyer you won’t have to pay any fee until the lawyer works to get you a settlement in the way of monetary compensation for your injuries. This includes injuries you sustained as a result of:

Automobile accidents
Accidents at work
Motorcycle accidents
Uninsured drivers
Industrial diseases
Unfair dismissal from work
Slips, falls or spills
Discrimination or harassment in the workplace
Medical negligence
Faulty or defective goods

When you contact a lawyer, the lawyer will come to your home or hospital bed if you are not well enough to go to the office. He/She will take your statement of the events of the claim for compensation and then contact the third party or his/her lawyers. In some cases, there will not be a wait time, if the third party admits to guilt right away. However in most cases, the lawyers have to work out a suitable compensation plan and file papers with the courts.

When it has been deemed that you are the injured party, you won’t have to pay any court costs associated with the case. These become the responsibility of the third party. If your lawyer is not successful in obtaining a settlement for you, you still won’t have to pay any money under the no win no fee policy. This type of situation is usually reserved for personal injury cases and does not apply to all cases.

Compensation will only be paid if the injuries affect your life in some way, such as causing you a lot of pain or suffering. The accident may or may not impair your ability to work, but if you have lost time from work due to the injuries, then your compensation will include lost wages as well as any medical expenses you incurred. There is no set amount of compensation because every case is different.
