How To Sue With No Win No Fee Solicitors

If you have a strong claim, you may be connected with one of our No Win No Fee Solicitors from our panel. In addition to offering you a CFA, they can arrange an After The Event insurance policy (ATE) which further reduces the financial risks if your claim were to fail.

Essentially, After the Event insurance will be purchased by a solicitor before a claim is made and therefore, you will not have to pay it yourself. An ATE policy importantly ensures that any costs incurred by you or your solicitor are covered by the policy in the event that your case is unsuccessful.

An ATE insurance policy ensures that you won’t be liable to pay for:

  • Court fees if your claim fails
  • Expert witness costs
  • Evidence-gathering costs, such as medical records

Once your claim has been set up, your solicitor will begin to collate evidence and eventually negotiate a settlement with the defendant.

The Types Of Claims That Can Be Made Using A No Win No Fee Agreement

There are various types of claims that can be made under ther terms of a No Win No Fee agreement with a solicitor on our panel.

Our panel of No Win No Fee solicitors are highly experienced in many areas of law and may be able to help your situation. However, for your case to be accepted, you must meet the following criteria:

Please see the examples below of when you are owed a duty of care.

Accident At Work Claims

Employers have a duty of care to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of their employees, as stated under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

If you suffered a broken foot at work due to being hit by a falling object due to your employer not performing regular risk assessments that would have identified this hazard, you may be able to make an accident at work claim.

Public Liability Claims

Under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, those in control of spaces that are open to the general public owe a duty of care to ensure the reasonable safety of visitors.

For example, you may be able to make a public liability claim if you suffered a head injury after slipping at a theme park due to a spillage that wasn’t signposted.

Road Traffic Accident Claims

All road users owe one another a duty of care to navigate the roads safely and avoid causing injury to each other. They must also adhere to the Road Traffic Act 1988 and the Highway Code as part of their duty of care.

For example, you may be able to make a road traffic accident claim if you suffered broken rib injuries due to a drunk driver driving in the wrong direction down a one-way street, causing them to crash head-on into your vehicle.

Medical Negligence Claims

All healthcare professionals owe a duty of care to meet the minimum expected standard of care when treating a patient. Examples of healthcare professionals adhering to their duty of care include providing accurate medical advice, taking patients seriously, and assessing allergies before prescribing new medication.

Furthermore, this duty of care applies regardless of whether the breach occurred in the private or public healthcare sector.

For example, you may be able to make a medical negligence claim if you experienced a prescription error in a pharmacy due to a pharmacist mislabelling medication, meaning you received the incorrect prescription.
