Ready to claim?
The truth about 'no win, no fee'
Q6 What will making a claim cost?
‘… if you have a valid claim it is unlikely to cost you anything'
It’s wise to think in terms of costs in three ways:
- Costs expended in the process of making your claim
- Costs deducted from your compensation if you are successful
- Costs that may be levied on you if you are not successful
However, the simple answer is that if you have a valid claim it is unlikely to cost you anything.
‘… with the right kind of advice and professional support, in most cases it really shouldn’t cost you a penny’
There are a number of aspects to this subject, and it can get a bit complicated, but it is worth bearing in mind that, with the right kind of advice and professional support, in most cases it really shouldn't cost you a penny to make a claim, nor should you suffer any deduction from your compensation award.
In the event your claim fails, insurance should be in place to cover the legal costs of your opponent and your solicitor's own legal costs.
