Injuries can take many forms – some are immediate and obvious, others are subtle but take a very long time to fully heal.
There are almost as many different types of
accident claims as there are accidents and injuries. What remains the same throughout all the cases which can be pursued by a
No Win No Fee solicitor is that the injuries are the result of negligence on the part of another party.
The most obvious example of a typical No Win No Fee case is an accident that happens at work. This can range from an ankle twisted in an office bathroom due to a wet floor or loose tiling, to the loss of a limb in an accident involving industrial machinery in a factory. In both cases there may be a case that costs should be paid by the employer. However, workplace injuries are not the only kind relevant to
personal injury claims. There are the cases of accident or injury while travelling on a form of public transport such as an aeroplane, train or bus; cases where someone is injured as a result of a defective or faulty product where its manufacturer is to blame; cases where an injury is sustained in a road accident where another party is to blame; cases where an accident occurs as the result of a flaw in public property or equipment owned by a council or other civic body. The list above is really just a brief approximation of the breadth and variety of cases where a No Win No Fee lawyer might of use, just the tip of the iceberg.
Unlike the bygone system of legal aid, with No Win No Fee it’s simply a matter of approaching an accident and injury lawyer of solid reputation, and asking them to assess whether you have a case. If you do have a case, the No Win No Fee lawyer will argue it and, should they lose, the client will not be charged any fees, but if they win, then all costs and compensation are paid out by the opposite party or their insurance company.
Each different accident requires a different set of skills from a No Win No Fee lawyer but a good one will adapt, whatever the situation, and get results.
