Personal Injury Questions

The following is a list of our most frequently asked questions. If you can't find the answer to your question, you can contact us via email.

What does 'No Win No Fee' really mean?
No win no fee means that if you do not win your claim, you do not have to pay your solicitor a fee. Insurance will cover you against the other side's costs and expenses. If you win your case you will receive your compensation free of any deductions unless it is a Criminal Injury or a Medical Negligence claim. Your solicitor's costs should be paid by the other side. There are very few exceptions to this. One of our specialist independent solicitors will tell you whether your case is suitable for a No Win No Fee Agreement. Your solicitor will also explain the No Win No Fee agreement to you clearly before you start a claim. Other costs may be payable.

Is there a time limit on submitting a claim for personal injuries?

Do I need to have reported my injuries to my GP or hospital?
It can be beneficial to have a written record of the injuries either at your GP or hospital but this is not essential but we would advise you that you do.

The Appointed Panel Solicitor will enter into a Conditional Fee Agreement in relation to their legal costs and an Insurance Policy will be issued to protect you against any other potential costs.

If for any reason you are unsuccessful in your claim the Insurance Policy will cover you in relation to all costs.
