No win no fee*

What does no win no fee mean?

No win no fee is a phrase you see a great deal in relation to personal injury compensation claims. What does it mean? No win no fee refers to a ‘conditional fee agreement’. This is an agreement that means your solicitor will only be paid if your claim is successful.  If you win your no win no fee injury claim, the losing party will have to pay your solicitor’s fees and all the costs involved in your case. You won’t pay a penny. No win no fee legal help is your right. 

What if I lose? Does no win no fee still apply?

Yes, no win no fee does still apply. But there are points to bear in mind.  If you lose your no win no fee accident compensation claim, you won’t have to pay your solicitor but you will be liable for the costs of the successful party.  To protect you from these costs, your solicitor may take out insurance on your behalf as part of your no win no fee compensation agreement.

This is known as ‘after the event’ insurance. It covers all legal fees as well as additional costs known as disbursements - including court fees and medical reports.  There is a premium to pay for this cover but you don’t need to pay this at the outset. If you lose your case, the insurance company pays the premium. If you win, the losing party pays it.
