No win, no fee (also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement) means that if your claim is unsuccessful, you pay your solicitor nothing. If you win, your legal costs are typically recovered from the other party's insurer. We explain exactly what this means for your specific case before you commit to anything.

In most cases, the time limit for personal injury claims in England and Wales is three years from the date of the accident or from when you became aware of your injury. Exceptions apply — for example, if you were under 18 at the time, the three-year clock starts from your 18th birthday. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your claim.

We handle a wide range of claims including road traffic accidents, workplace injuries, slips and falls, medical and clinical negligence, serious injuries such as brain and spinal cord injuries, criminal injuries (CICA), housing disrepair, and will disputes. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies, contact us for a free assessment.

The vast majority of personal injury claims (over 95%) are settled out of court through negotiation with the other party's insurer. If your case does go to court, your solicitor will fully prepare and support you. This is rare and most clients never need to step inside a courtroom.

The amount varies depending on the severity of your injury, how it has affected your daily life and ability to work, and any financial losses you have suffered. Compensation covers general damages (pain and suffering) and special damages (lost earnings, medical costs, rehabilitation). Your solicitor will provide a realistic estimate once they have reviewed your case.

You may still be able to claim even if you were partly responsible. Under "contributory negligence," your compensation may be reduced in proportion to your share of fault. For example, if you were 25% at fault, you might receive 75% of the full award. A solicitor will assess your individual circumstances before advising you.
