No-win, no-fee compensation claims for personal injury

Posted by admin on Jun 3rd, 2009 | no comments

The expression no-win, no-fee in personal injury compensation claims is slightly confusing in that it suggests that if you win, then you have to pay something from your compensation. In law, the cost follow the event. This means that the loser has to pay the costs of the winner. This means that if you win your personal injury compensation claim, then the loser, most commonly an insurance company, will pay all your cost as well as your compensation.

So what if you lose? Now that’s a good question. Your solicitor will have put in place an insurance policy to protect you from such an eventuality. In fact, you may already have such a policy attached to your house contents policy or credit card, or trades union membership.

In a nutshell, you do not need to make any up-front payment to a solicitor, you do not need to have any legal expense insurance, you do not need to take out a loan or borrow money to fund that case.
