No Win No Fee

Prior to the introduction of the “No Win No Fee” System in the UK, an injured person wishing to claim compensation from a negligent party would either have to fund the legal expenses of the claim himself hoping to recover them from third party, or to apply for Legal Aid funded by the government.

In 1998 however the Government Legal Aid Scheme was withdrawn for personal injury and claims were allowed to be dealt with on a "No Win No Fee" basis by No Win No Fee Solicitors. This means that a solicitor working on this basis will only charge his professional fees in the event of the case being won when the fees would usually be paid by the third party as part of the claim.

Whilst some No Win No Fee Solicitors or claims management companies may deduct a proportion of the compensation figure, other Solicitors do not operate in this way and will not deduct any money from your compensation even if they win the case. They will only charge costs that they are able to recover from the other party at the end of the case.

Cyclist knocked over by car

Mr G was knocked off his bicycle by a car pulling out of a side road, fracturing his left leg. The defendant insurers blamed him for the accident alleging he had ridden on the pavement and not given way to their car. Excalibur obtained photographs and sketch plans of the accident site and agreed with Mr G to issue his claim. As soon as the documents were lodged with the Court, the defendant insurers accepted liability and settled the claim in the sum of £5,420.58. He said:

"Excellent service – I cannot thank you enough for all the help and advice that I received from my Solicitor. No regrets choosing Excalibur Solicitors 100%."

Mr G from Middlesex
