The truth about 'no win, no fee'
Criminal injury
If you have been a victim of a criminal assault, you may be entitled to compensation. These types of claims are most commonly pursued against the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority. You can do this yourself by referring to www.cica.gov.uk
‘… you should be aware that such claims are not without cost’However, this can be complicated and you should be aware that such claims are not without cost. You may feel that you need the assistance of a solicitor. Usually, it can be arranged for your claim to be pursued on a 'contingency fee' basis. This means that the solicitor will be paid by way of an agreed percentage of whatever compensation is awarded. This is deducted from the compensation awarded when your claim is concluded. However, you do not have to pay anything at the outset, and there would be no charge to you should your case fail.

If you’ve chosen a personal injury claims specialist who meets the ClaimsGuide recommended criteria, he will quickly be able to ascertain whether or not you have grounds for a claim and the type of injury claim you should be making.
