What Is A No Win No Fee Agreement?
A No Win No Fee agreement can be used to fund legal representation for many different types of claims. This agreement is a contract between a solicitor and a claimant that sets out certain needs that must be met before the solicitor is paid for their work.
Under this type of agreement, it is stipulated that the work your solicitor does on your case is not payable unless your claim is successful. Before your claim is started, your solicitor will gather information about your injury and accident.
By assessing these facts, they will analyse whether you have validity to bring a claim, and a high likelihood of a successful case. If it is determined that you are eligible, they can then formally offer to represent you on a No Win No Fee basis.
Claims Eligibility
In order for you to be eligible to make a claim under this type of agreement, the following eligibility criteria must be satisfied:
You were owed a duty of care: this is a legal obligation owed to you from another person, organisation, business, employer, road user, medical professional or another relevant third party. Per this, the responsible party must usually take certain steps to uphold your health and safety in the specific place where your accident occurred.
This duty was breached: this occurs when the responsible party fails to take the reasonable steps necessary to uphold your health and safety.
You sustained injuries or harm as a result: the final element we must show for you to be eligible, is that your injuries or harm were a direct result of the responsible party’s negligence.
Please note, if you are claiming for a breach of your personal data or a criminal injury, then the eligibility criteria is different. One of our advisors can discuss this with you.

How Do No Win No Fee Claims Work?
A No Win No Fee claim works by typically utilising a Conditional Fee Agreement, which is a type of contract that allows claimants to pursue compensation with no upfront costs or financial risk for your solicitor’s services if your claim was to fail.
Claiming this way means that you’d have nothing to pay for a solicitor to begin work on your case. In addition to this, you wouldn’t be faced with ongoing costs while your claim was advancing, and if your solicitor failed to recover compensation, you’d have nothing to pay whatsoever for their work.
Instead, if your claim was successful, then a limited pre-discussed percentage would be taken from your compensation as our solicitors’ success fee.

What Are The Types Of No Win No Fee Agreements?
There are two types of agreements used to help claimants pursue compensation, called:
Conditional Fee Agreements (CFA), governed by The Conditional Fee Agreements Order 2013
The most common type of agreement used by most solicitors in England and Wales is a CFA. By choosing to work with our solicitors at Legal Expert, under this type of agreement, you’d have no solicitors’ fees to pay upfront in order to start working on your case. This lends our claimants financial protection whilst ensuring fair access to justice, as it prevents any large upfront fees for work to start on your claim.
Additionally, under a CFA, claimants wouldn’t have to worry about mounting payments during the progression of their case; a CFA also means that whilst your claim is ongoing, no fees for your solicitor’s work would be payable.
Most crucially, under this type of agreement, as a claimant, you’d have nothing to pay for your solicitor’s services if we were unable to secure compensation for you; essentially meaning you could make a claim with minimal financial risk, and no concerns about your claim failing.

What Fees Will Be Payable If A Case Is Successful?
If your case is successful, then a small pre-agreed percentage would be payable from your compensation. This is called a success fee, and is limited in accordance with the Conditional Fee Agreements Order 2013, so you can be comfortable knowing you would receive the majority of your compensation upon a successful case.
Additionally, this is discussed before your case begins, to ensure that you have informed consent before deciding to go ahead with your claim. It also means you have the opportunity to discuss any questions you might have about the costs that are associated with bringing your own No Win No Fee claim.
At Legal Expert, our solicitors are committed to providing you with honesty and transparency about the fees payable if your claim is successful. Our solicitors provide a comprehensive service, by ensuring that your financial interests are protected.
Contact an advisor today to discuss the payable fees if your case is successful.
What If My No Win No Fee Claim Is Unsuccessful?
If your claim is unsuccessful, under a CFA, you’d have nothing to pay for your solicitor’s work.
Moreover, our solicitors use an insurance policy known as After The Event (ATE) Insurance. This type of policy ensures that if your claim is unsuccessful, then the policy covers expenses for the opposition’s legal costs, and the work of your solicitor, ensuring that you are financially protected.
