No Win No Fee - A Great Legal Tool For Comman Man

By: Lindsay Nolan

No win no fee, the term is actually related with personal injury. The term is also associated with CFA (conditional fee agreement) .It is actually an agreement between the client and the solicitor whereby if the client is able to make a claim he could pay the fees of the solicitor. No win no fee agreement was actually created so as to help that community of people who had limited access to the legal justice. The term no win no fee was actually introduced around mid 90's. Recent surveys indicate that around 2.5 million people in United Kingdom suffer from injuries caused by the accident. As a result of which most of them lose their employment and suffer both emotionally and physically. According to the law of United Kingdom the liable party should compensate the injured party.

There are circumstances under which a solicitor appeals for a no win no fee agreement. No win no fee agreement is generally applicable in cases of personal injury like asbestos related diseases, accident injuries, medical negligence, public liability and workers compensation. Besides not all personal injury claims can win compensation. An injury claim is possible only if one has suffered pain and suffering and has incurred financial losses. The solicitors generally take up such cases only when the claim could be made. There are many circumstances in which compensation cannot be secured. No win no fee agreement is generally not possible in non-personal injury cases.

A good solicitor generally advises his client and furnishes him the details of the circumstances under which a compensation cannot be won. If it is known that the injury caused is not the fault of someone else then a case cannot be filed because legal action is possible only if there is a fault from the other side. If there are no witnesses or medical evidence to substantiate then no claim could be made. There might also be circumstances where there is literally very little or no proof to make a claim. Under such circumstances a no win no fee agreement stands absurd.

While no win no fee means no fees to the lawyer if one loses the case it is not the same with all cases. In most of the cases where there are very little chances of winning the claim an insurance policy is taken to underwrite the personal injury claim. Hence the insurance company pays the fees of the solicitor. It is the responsibility of the client to make sure that whether or not he is supposed to pay the cost of the policy.

No win no fee agreement though has some shortcomings, is one legal tool to help many people who not only suffer from the injuries sustained in the accident but also suffer from depression and anxiety. Hiring a no win no fee solicitor or accident lawyer is now possible and you need not worry about your finances at all. Filing compensation claims can be done by one and all.
