Many people are hurt or injured in accidents every day
in the UK, many of these will suffer serious injury and will have to face
the costs of treatment and the loss of earnings though not being able
to work.
An accident compensation claim can ease the financial worries faced as
a result of injury, and provide money for the pain and suffering that
the person went through as a result. The nature of the accident will affect
the way in which the claim is pursued, accidents in the workplace are
often dealt with effectively by the insurance that the company has to
cover accidents involving their employees.
In some cases, the person or business responsible for the accident may
deny that they are responsible, and so refuse to enter into discussion
about settling the compensation outside of court. When this is the case,
litigation is the only answer to pursue the accident compensation claim
- this legal action can be time consuming and costly as there are court
and solicitors fees to be covered.
Many solicitors recognise that people generally don’t want to take
the risk of financing litigation, and so offer their services on a ‘no
win no fee’ basis, meaning that if a compensation claim is unsuccessful
the client won’t have to pay a penny in legal expenses. As it is
the solicitor who is bearing the risk of the case being unsuccessful,
they will assess the merits of the case before taking it on, and will
not take on cases that they feel are likely to lose.
As a result of the introduction of this model, the number of compensations
being made in the UK has risen, with people who couldn’t afford
to pay up front for a solicitor able to take action knowing that they
are not risking their money be taking this approach. See our list of no
win no fee solicitors to help you to pursue an accident compensation
claim.
