Can I make an accident claim on a no win no fee basis and what would I pay if I win?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

A no win no fee agreement, usually called a conditional fee agreement, may allow you to pursue an accident claim without paying your solicitor’s fees upfront. If the claim succeeds, a success fee is normally deducted from your compensation, subject to a legal cap in many personal injury cases, while an insurance policy may help cover other costs. If the claim fails, you may not owe your solicitor, but you could still face certain expenses depending on the agreement and insurance arrangements. Ask a solicitor regulated by the SRA to explain the terms and assess whether your claim is suitable.
