What is No Win No Fee
Before arranging with a solicitor to pursue your injury claim you need to be happy with how your costs will be met.

As of April 2000 all Personal Injury Solicitors are obliged to work on your behalf on a no win no fee basis, this is subject to a small insurance premium which your solicitor may pay for on your behalf depending on your circumstances.

Don't be afraid of asking your solicitor the number of recent cases that they have won, in most cases they won't bite!

Solicitors in the accidentcompensation.com network are prepared to act for some clients without charging a fee unless the case is successful, so if you lose you do not have to pay anything for the work that has done. However, as the loser in the case you may have to pay:

• Your opponent's legal costs

• The expenses incurred in bringing the case. (These are called disbursements and often include fees for medical and police reports.)

Your solicitor can arrange to protect you against this risk by taking out conditional fee insurance.
Because the solicitor will receive no fee if they lose, professional rules allow them to charge an additional fee if you win usually called the success fee In a successful case they would recover the basic fee from your opponents or their insurers; therefore you will only have to pay the success fee.
If they intend to charge a success fee, they will explain exactly how it will be calculated and paid.
