If you have suffered from a Personal injury or accident and it just doesn’t feel right, we can help you make a claim.
A No Win No Fee term is a Conditional Fee Agreement between you and your solicitor that keeps you from paying the upfront legal fees when the solicitor is handling your compensation claim. In short, the lawyer will take on your case without asking for payment only to receive pay if you win any compensation. You will not pay the solicitor anything if you do not win.
We offer our services on a No Win No Fee agreement on medical negligence, accident, and personal injury cases. It is as simple as that; you do not pay if you do not win the case.
The introduction of this arrangement was geared towards giving individuals who lack the finances to afford legal representation the opportunity to get the justice they need when seeking personal injury compensation.
Primarily, the No Win No Fee arrangements were on the premise that the defending party would shoulder all the legal costs associated with taking a personal injury case. As such, the claimants were not to pay any fees and get to keep the awarded compensation in full. Legislation was introduced after many solicitors said that they were making losses, unable to recover their fees from the defending parties fully.
Fortunately, with the Goldman Knightley team of medical negligence solicitors and specialist personal injury lawyers, things remain unchanged. We still offer No Win No Fee Personal Injury Claims, which means you do not have to make any payments if the claim is unsuccessful.
You, however, will have to cater to the legal representation costs if you win your claim. The good thing is that Goldman Knightley can recover the legal costs incurred from the other side so you do not have to pay us a penny.
The arrangement is not applicable to all personal injury cases. However, some civil cases can be handled under this conditional fee agreement except for cases that involve a criminal charge. Personal injury, accident, clinical and medical negligence cases in Wales and England fall under the civil cases thus can be handled on a No Win No Fee basis. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different stipulations for medical negligence and personal injury cases where the No Win No Fee claim arrangement also takes into consideration employment issues.
If you were involved in an accident that was due to the negligence of another party and you are not at fault, you qualify to make a personal injury claim. The compensation amount you can claim is determined based on two things – the ‘special damages’ and the ‘general damages.’ With the two, you are guaranteed to be awarded personal injury recompense that covers any pain, losses and suffering you may have endured to date. Any future physical, social, emotional, and mental implications of the injuries due to the accident are also factors into the amount to be awarded as compensation. Our objective at Goldman Knightley is not to win you the claim but to ensure you get what you are entitled to, we help you get the financial support you need to regain some normality in your life.
