Injury

Pursuing a personal accident claim should never be foregone due to fears about legal costs. Since the advent of the no win no fee scheme victims who suffer personal injury at the hands of another have been able to take legal action for compensation at no cost and without risk.

No win no fee agreements which are technically known as conditional fee agreements (CFA) were introduced in 1998 at which time legal aid was withdrawn for most personal accident claim settlements. Under this scheme a solicitor will only receive payment if the case he represents is successful and that payment of the solicitors legal costs will usually be paid by the losing sides’ insurer. The money does not come out of the winner’s compensation which can therefore be paid in full with no deductions.

If a no win no fee personal accident claim is unsuccessful then the solicitor will have no right to a legal fee from either the client or from the other side. The legal expenses paid by the solicitor will be written off by the solicitor who will not recoup then from his client. There is a huge advantage to the claimant on such a scheme, if they are successful in their claim, they keep all of the compensation and if they are unsuccessful they pay no legal fee and no expenses.

If a claimant takes advantage of a CFA then the personal accident claim is dealt with in exactly the same way as if the client was paying privately. The only person taking a financial risk is the solicitor and it is in his interests to ensure that the case is properly prepared for trial if necessary. The following routine steps will usually be carried out by the solicitor and his team on behalf of the client :-

• All witnesses present at the incident, related to the incident/case in anyway are interviewed thoroughly and a written, signed statement of evidence is taken to be used in court if necessary.
• Inspections of the site of the incident are carried out in order to find any further details that may be related to the case.
• Professional location plans are drawn and any photographic evidence is arranged from a professional photographer.
• Any relevant mathematical calculations are made by an accident re-construction expert if necessary and the accident may be depicted or re-enacted in the form of a video recording.
