The truth about 'no win, no fee'
Q16 What exactly will a personal injury specialist do for me?
Let’s be clear. Not all personal injury claims specialists are the same. However, a personal injury claims specialist who meets the ClaimsGuide recommended criteria will ensure that your claim is dealt with in a way that serves your best interests and ensures that you receive the entire compensation award to which you are entitled – AND at no cost to you whatsoever.
‘… he will negotiate the agreement with the solicitor to ensure that you will not be charged anything whether you win or lose your case’A personal injury claims specialist who meets the criteria will:
- Take your information and make an initial assessment
- Ensure any outstanding information relevant to confirming the initial assessment is identified and collected
- Identify your type of claim and the kind of support you will need – for example, different steps will be taken for a criminal injury case relative to, say, dealing with an injury from a trip or slip
- Counsel you if there are important steps to take – for example, reviewing any legal expenses insurance cover you may hold
- He will direct you to a specialist solicitor who is expert in the type of injury claim most appropriate to your circumstances
- Negotiate the agreement (most likely a ‘Conditional Fee Agreement’ – known as ‘no win, no fee’) with the solicitor to ensure that you will not be charged anything whether you win or lose your case
- Ensure that in addition to the Conditional Fee Agreement, a separate written agreement is exchanged between you and the solicitor to exonerate you from any obligation to pay costs contained in the CFA
- Monitor your case and ensure that it progresses smoothly and within the terms of the agreement
