About No Win No Fee Agreements
One of the key aspects of our service is that it’s No Win No Fee. This phrase means what it says: if your case doesn’t end with you securing a compensation payout, you don’t have to pay us any fees.
This ensures that you get access to quality representation from solicitors who are committed to getting you a good result. This is because if we don’t succeed, we don’t get paid either.
If your case is a success, we’ll deduct a small percentage to cover our costs. This percentage is confirmed before the claim begins and is capped by law.

How Does The Claims Process Work?
The process of claiming compensation differs slightly for each type of case described above. However, the general process that you can expect includes:
- Investigations – the first step is to gather as much evidence as possible and conduct investigations into what happened. This all helps frame the arguments that will be made to the defendant.
- Arguing The Case – the next step is to present the case to the defendant and argue why we believe they’re at fault.
- Negotiations and Settlement – with all evidence obtained and disclosed and the picture clear between the parties, the aim is to negotiate a settlement that you’re happy with

How Is Compensation Calculated?
When making a compensation claim, it’s important to be aware of how a potential settlement is calculated. Not all case types we can help with and that are described above are calculated in this way, only personal injury claims and medical negligence, though similar considerations are made in other cases.
- First, your solicitor will look at your physical and psychological injuries to determine how severe they are and whether or not you’ll recover. The more severe and permanent the injury, the higher the payout
- Next, your solicitor will look at the financial impact the injury has had. In some serious injury claims, for example, you might be left with life-changing injuries that mean you cannot work again. It’s possible to get compensated for these effects.
Is There A Time Limit To Make A Compensation Claim?
There is a time limit when it comes to making a compensation claim. These time limits differ for each case, but as a quick summary:
- For personal injury claims, you have 3 years from the date of the accident to claim compensation
- In medical negligence claims, you have 3 years from the date of the negligent incident or the date you gained knowledge of it
- Criminal injury claims are subject to a time limit of 2 years from the date the crime is reported to the police
- Data breach claims enjoy a 6-year limitation period
- If you’re under the age of 18, the time limit does not begin to run until you turn 18.
It’s always important to double-check how long you have to claim. If you leave it too late, you may become time-barred, meaning you can’t claim at all.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
In this section, we’ve included the answers to some questions we’re frequently asked.
How long do no win no fee claims take?
If liability is admitted, no win no fee claims can take 6 to 12 months to resolve. If liability is disputed or if time is needed to conduct investigations or wait for injuries to heal, the claim could take longer.
Should you accept the first compensation offer?
It’s generally not advised that you accept the first compensation offer, especially if that has come before you have been examined by a medical professional as part of your claim. You should always consult your lawyer on any offer received.
Will my claim go to court?
It’s unlikely that your compensation claim will go to court. The industry standard is around 5%, meaning you have about a 95% chance of the claim not reaching a court room.
