What exactly does No Win No Fee mean?
When Lawson-West, solicitors, assist you with your personal injury claim, we will organise a No Win No Fee agreement so that you don’t pay any expenses such as paying court fees or paying for medical reports to ensure you get fully compensated for your injuries. This means that in the unlikely event that your case is lost, you would not pay a penny. Remember, Lawson-West, solicitors, win at least 97% of all their personal injury cases. As Lawson-West don’t get paid if you lose, then we have a vested interest to ensure you can receive the accident injury compensation due to you and you will receive all of your compensation.
Just what it says. A “No win no fee” agreement generally means a Conditional Fee Agreement (“CFA”). These are agreements between a client and their legal representative which usually mean that the client pays nothing if they lose the case, but pay their legal representative’s fees in full if they win, as well as an additional amount on top called an “uplift” or success fee. Ordinarily, if the case is won the Court will order the loser to pay the winner’s costs This means litigants funding their case under a CFA usually take out insurance to cover their opponent’s costs in case they lose. If they do lose the insurance company will pay the opponent’s costs. If the case is won the insurance premium will usually be recoverable from the losing party. For commercial reasons we are only able to run a very limited number of CFAs at any one time. We are happy to discuss funding on a case to case basis.
