No Win, No Fee Injury Claims

What Is No Win No Fee?

No win no fee, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), is a way you can apply for funding for your injury claim. The basis of a CFA is that you will not be required 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*.

However, in some instances you may be required to pay for medical reports or other third-party payments upfront. We would discuss this with you in advance of any decision being made.

How Does No Win No Fee Work?

In a no win, no fee agreement, your solicitor can take out an insurance policy on your behalf when starting your case to cover any out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the compensation claim.

These costs could include court fees, medical reports, and other expenses. The person making the injury claim will not usually face any hidden charges or bills for payments incurred during the compensation claim process but there are sometimes exceptions to this which we will discuss with you.

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

1. Situations where you are dishonest – if you are always fully honest with your solicitor then there is nothing to fear.

2. Failing to give your solicitor instructions.

3. Rejecting an offer against your solicitor’s advice.

4. Death of the claimant

5 Cancelling your claim.

6. Relocating without informing your solicitor.

However, in some instances you may be required to pay for medical reports or other third-party payments upfront. We would discuss this with you in advance of any decision being made.

Our No Win No Fee Promise

We believe that everyone deserves access to justice, regardless of their financial circumstances. Our no win no fee agreement, also known as a conditional fee agreement (CFA), helps you take legal action. You don’t have to worry about upfront costs.*

In most cases, if accepted on a no win, no fee basis, you won’t pay a penny upfront for our legal services*. The basis of a CFA is that you will not be required 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*.

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.
