A lot of our clients might be concerned that they’re not local to our office in Northwich and might not be able to come and see us as easily as some of our local clients. It doesn’t mean that we can’t help you with your claim. We can see you by Zoom, we can see you by FaceTime. We’ve often done WhatsApp video calls with clients who don’t live locally to us and we can still deal with your claim with the same level of service as if you could come and see us in the office. We can do all those things for you. We can talk to you on the phone, we can deal with your claim by email and at the end of the day it doesn’t impair our ability to come and help you win your case. Obviously the office is available if you wanted to ever come and see us or sometimes we will come and see you. Even if you are far away, it’s not necessarily too much work for us to come and do that. Obviously it would depend on your case how it’s progressing forwards, but if you want to give us a call we can arrange Zoom calls, anything like that to help you deal with your case and know that we’re giving you the best service possible. It doesn’t matter that you’re not local, we can help you.

You may have been asked to sign a Conditional Fee Agreement. This is an agreement that is used when you do NOT have the benefit of an existing legal expenses policy. It allows the solicitors to claim some of their costs back from the defendants at the conclusion of the claim along with a success fee which is payable by the client. Whilst in principle the client is responsible for their fees from the outset of the claim, in reality, these fees will be capped so that you receive at least 75% of the compensation you are awarded. The cap does not apply to any disbursements you may need to obtain.
This means that before a solicitor can proceed with your case, you will need to show them certain documents. These will include a current passport, utility bills and the like. Solicitors need to see the original items and need to retain copies for their file. We recommend that you do not send valuable items such as passports and driving licences through the post.
No. The free initial case review is just that, but we hope that having advised you initially you will allow us to help you should you decide to pursue the matter with professional help.

Often referred to as a “success fee”, in a personal injury case a solicitor may not be able to recover all their costs from the losing party so they may charge a success fee or contingency fee. This fee must not be more than 25% of your compensation. In this video, Dominic Moss, senior partner here at Stonehewer Moss personal injury solicitors, explains the fees solicitors charge in personal injury claims.

When it comes to making a personal injury claim, one of the most important things to consider is how you will fund your case. After all, taking legal action can be costly, and if you don’t have the right funding in place, you may find yourself struggling to cover the costs.
No win no fee arrangements can be extremely beneficial for claimants, as they provide access to justice regardless of their financial situation.
However, it’s important to remember that not all no win no fee solicitors are the same. Some may charge hidden fees or have strict conditions in place, so it’s always worth doing your research before you choose a solicitor to work with.
No win no fee agreements have become a popular way for personal injury claimants to pursue compensation. But what exactly are they and what do you need to know about them? Stonehewer Moss Solicitors we will explain everything you need to know about no win no fee agreements, including how they work and the pros and cons of using them.
If your claim is successful then you become liable to pay your solicitors base costs, plus any success fee they charge. The success fee is very often misunderstood and often confused with the solicitors overall cap on costs. To be clear the success fee forms part of the overall costs charged, that is, the base costs plus the success fee.
At Stonehewer Moss we apply an overall cap on the costs we charge you based on the amount of compensation you receive. This overall cap is typically between 18% and 30% of the compensation amount recovered, although this will be subject to your individual circumstances. This is a cap both on your liability for your base fees in general and the success fee added together.
Accordingly when considering which law firm to use it is therefore much more useful (and much easier to understand) if you just ascertain what the overall cap is on your liability for legal costs is, as this is the amount that you will usually pay.
At Stonehewer Moss there is an overall cap so that your liability for all your legal costs will never exceed 30% of the damages you are awarded and can be as low as 18%.
