Frequently Asked Questions
How does a ‘no win, no fee’ claim work?
In a ‘no win, no fee’ agreement, your solicitor will take out an insurance policy on your behalf before starting your case to cover any costs incurred during the compensation claim. These costs could include court fees, medical reports and other expenses. The person making the personal injury compensation claim will not face any hidden charges or bills for payments incurred during the compensation claim process*.
What happens if my ‘no win, no fee’ claim is successful?
Should your compensation claim with Howells Solicitors be successful, the majority of the legal costs incurred, such as basic fees, will be recovered from the person or company responsible for causing your accident or injury.
Other costs will require payment and are taken at the end of the case as a ‘success fee’, which refers to a percentage of compensation that is recovered by the client.

* There are circumstances where you would be asked to pay any outstanding costs even if you don’t win your case. Situations where dishonesty, failing to give your solicitor instructions, rejecting an offer against your solicitors advice, death of the claimant, cancelling your claim and relocating without informing your solicitor, are examples of where you may need to pay for services provided by Howells Solicitors, and for the defendants costs.
