No Win No Fee services came into effect in 1998 when Legal Aid was abandoned and was replaced by the Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). CFA's are a form of funding for accident claims. This is an arrangement between you and your solicitor where by you agree that you will only have to pay your solicitors fee if you win your case.

To cover yourself for any fees incurred, you will be expected to take out insurance. This insurance is called "after the event insurance". This is a once off premium payment. If you lose your case the insurance company will pay any costs that you owe to your opponent and any costs you have had to pay to third parties, such as medical experts. You or the insurance company will not have to pay your solicitor's costs.

Here is a list of the most common types of clinical negligence:
Birth Injuries.
Misdiagnosis.
Surgical Errors.
Medical Establishments.
General Clinical Negligence Issues.

If you win however your solicitor can charge their normal fee plus a "success fee", this can be as much as 100% on top of their normal fees.

When entering into a conditional fee arrangement you will have to sign a contract known as a Conditional Fee Agreement.

For a 'no win, no fee' arrangement to be valid, the solicitor has to complete a number of formalities and give you pieces of information at various stages.

All our solicitors's are regulated by the Solicitor Regulation Authority. All our solicitors work on a no win no fee basis.
