Compensation is usually calculated based on two main factors: the injury itself and any financial losses you have suffered as a result.

This can include pain and suffering, loss of earnings, medical expenses, travel costs, and the long-term impact of the injury on your daily life. The solicitor handling your claim will use medical evidence, financial information, and legal guidelines to assess a fair compensation value and advise you throughout the process.

No win no fee lawyers are solicitors who handle compensation claims under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This type of agreement allows injured people to pursue legal action without paying solicitor fees upfront. Instead, the lawyer only receives payment if the case succeeds. Conditional Fee Agreements were introduced to improve access to justice in personal injury law, allowing individuals to seek compensation even if they cannot afford traditional legal costs. Overall, no win no fee lawyers help make compensation claims accessible, allowing people injured through negligence to pursue justice without financial risk.

A no win no fee agreement allows you to pursue a compensation claim without paying solicitor fees upfront or during the case.

Under this arrangement:

• you do not pay upfront legal fees to start your claim
• you do not pay ongoing solicitor fees while the claim is in progress
• your solicitor is paid only if the claim succeeds

If your claim is successful, the solicitor will deduct a success fee from the compensation awarded. This fee is regulated under UK law and is capped at a maximum percentage of certain parts of your compensation.

Because of this cap, claimants keep the majority of their compensation, while the solicitor receives payment for the work carried out.

If the claim does not succeed, you typically do not pay your solicitor’s legal fees, which significantly reduces the financial risk of pursuing justice.

Most personal injury claims must be started within a specific legal time limit known as the limitation period. In the UK, the standard time limit is three years.

The Three-Year Limitation Period

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident or the date you became aware of your injury to begin legal proceedings. If the claim is not started within this period, you may lose the right to claim compensation.

Claims Involving Children

Different rules apply when the injured person is under 18. The three-year limitation period does not begin until the child’s 18th birthday. This means they typically have until their 21st birthday to bring a claim.

During childhood, a parent or guardian may act as a litigation friend and pursue the claim on the child’s behalf.

Claims Involving Mental Capacity

If an injured person lacks the mental capacity to manage their legal affairs, the limitation period may be suspended. A representative can bring a claim on their behalf, and time limits may only begin if the person later regains capacity.

Because limitation rules can be complex, it is often advisable to seek legal advice as soon as possible after an injury. Early action can help ensure evidence is preserved and the claim is started within the required timeframe.
