No Win No Fee Medical Negligence Solicitors

What Is No Win No Fee?

No win no fee, or Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), is a way to get funding for your medical negligence claim. A CFA states that you will not have to pay our legal fees if the compensation claim is unsuccessful. Meaning, you will not pay any fees to us unless we win your case for you*.

How Does No Win No Fee Work?

In a no win, no fee agreement, your lawyer can get an insurance policy for you. This policy covers any costs you might have while making your compensation claim.

These costs could include court fees, medical reports, and other expenses. The person making a medical negligence claim usually does not face hidden charges or bills. However, there can be exceptions. We will discuss these with you.

Certain circumstances may require you to pay any outstanding costs even if you don’t win your case. This can include:

• Situations where you are dishonest.
• Failing to give your solicitor instructions.
• Rejecting an offer against your solicitor’s advice.
• Death of the claimant.
• Cancelling your claim.
• Relocating without informing your solicitor.

However, in some instances, you may need to pay for medical reports or other third-party payments upfront. We would discuss this with you before making any decision.

Are you worried about making a claim against the NHS?

Successful claims are usually handled by solicitors. They are not managed by the healthcare provider who gave you care, like a hospital doctor, nurse, dentist, pharmacist, or GP.

*There are circumstances where you would be asked to pay any outstanding costs even if you don’t win your case.

You may need to pay for services from Howells Solicitors in certain situations. These include being dishonest, not giving your solicitor instructions, or rejecting an offer against their advice. Other examples are the death of the claimant, cancelling your claim, and moving without telling your solicitor.

In these cases, you might also have to cover the defendant’s costs. Client’s may be asked to pay disbursements up front or must stand to the cost of a medical report if a second opinion is obtained. In some instances, you may need to pay for medical reports or other third-party payments upfront. We would discuss this with you before making any decision.
