If you win your claim, your solicitor will typically make the following deductions from the compensation you are awarded:
You keep the rest and this will always be the majority of the compensation awarded to you. The deductions we list above will only be made when your compensation is paid. There are no upfront costs and no hidden charges.
Your solicitor will explain all this in detail at the start so you know what to expect if your claim succeeds. If you don’t win your no-win no-fee claim, you pay nothing to anyone. It’s as simple as that.
At the start of the claim, your no-win no fee solicitor may need to take out a special legal protection insurance policy for you. It pays the costs if your claim were to fail and ensures claiming is risk-free. Insurance must always be in place just in case that happens.
You will need to make sure you stick to the terms of the insurance at all times.
