Have you sustained injuries in an accident that was caused by another person? If you have, you may be able to put up a personal injury claim on a No Win No Fee basis. No Win No Fee arrangements eliminate the financial risks attached with making an injury claim. If you are able to make an injury claim under the No Win No Fee scheme, you will have to pay nothing to your solicitor for representing your claim.
No Win No Fee was introduced in the year 1995. This scheme was introduced so that the Legal Aid system could be replaced. Prior to 1995, the Legal Aid system was used to provide funding to victims of accidents if they wished to make an injury claim. This system helped them obtain fair compensation for their injuries and losses. The aim was to help those who could not afford to pay for legal proceedings to pursue an injury claim and get access to justice.
But, with the introduction of the No Win No Fee scheme, it became even easier for people to pursue a claim. To pursue a personal injury claim using this scheme, all an individual needs to do is speak to an injury lawyer and find out if he is eligible to use this scheme. Basically, if you have sustained injuries due to no fault within the past three years, you may be entitled to claim compensation using this scheme. There are many different types of personal injury claims which can be pursued using the No Win No Fee arrangement.
Some of the common types of claims include:
- Work accident claims
- Road accident claims
- Slips and trip claims
- Product liability claims
- Public liability claims
- Medical negligence claims
- Industrial illness claims
- Sporting accident claims
How The Scheme Works
If you think you have a personal injury claim, you need to consult with an experienced injury lawyer and find out if your claim is viable. Your injury lawyer will assess your claim and advise you regarding the potential success of your claim. If your injury lawyer believes that your claim is likely to succeed, he will represent it using the No Win No Fee scheme. A No Win No Fee agreement will be made between you and your injury lawyer.
