Your Legal Questions Answered – Personal Injury, No Win No Fee & More
Legal matters can often feel complex, and it’s natural to have questions about your rights, the claims process, and what to expect. To help, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common legal queries. Whether you’re thinking about switching solicitors, starting a claim, or just looking for guidance, our FAQs provide clear and straightforward information.
A No Win No Fee agreement means you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful. This makes it easier to pursue compensation without financial risk.
Yes, if you feel that your current solicitor is not handling your case properly, you have the right to switch. It’s important to choose a solicitor who communicates well and has experience in your type of claim.
The timeframe depends on the complexity of the case. Some claims settle in a few months, while others, particularly those involving serious injuries, can take longer.
While it is not a legal requirement, having a solicitor improves your chances of securing fair compensation and ensures your case is handled correctly.
Most legal cases are settled before reaching court, but if a dispute arises, your solicitor will guide you through the process.
Time limits vary depending on the type of case. For personal injury claims, the general limit is three years from the date of the incident.
In cases where the Defendant’s liability for your accident is close to certain, legal fees are capped at a maximum of 18% of the total compensation, allowing clients to retain more of their award. This cap applies at the firm's discretion based on a case assessment, providing thorough representation without requiring costly legal insurance. In all other cases where liability is less certain but we are still able to help, we have an overall cap of 30%.
All figures quoted include VAT and are charged in addition to any fees we recover from the Defendant.
