What does 'no win no fee' mean?

The 'no win, no fee' claim scheme, also known as the 'conditional fee' scheme, came fully into effect in 1998 when Legal Aid was withdrawn for most personal injury claims. As Legal Aid is funded by central government, the decision was made to reduce the burden on the public purse and pass the financial risk of accident claims to the legal profession.

A 'no win, no fee' agreement means that if you proceed with a claim but lose the case, you will not have to pay your own or your opponent's legal costs. The solicitor acting in the claim is only entitled to be paid a fee if the case is successful, and the losers or their insurance company usually makes that payment. If the case is lost, then the solicitor will lose their legal fees.

MyClaim's Solicitors will pursue your personal injury claim to ensure that it is at absolutely no cost to you. You will receive 100% of your compensation.
