We can do your case as a conditional fee case. These are also known as "no win no fee" cases. We will also discuss with you legal aid and whether you have insurance that covers bringing a claim.
If you lose the case, you will be ordered to pay the other side's legal charges. But you will not have to pay because you will be covered by an insurance policy which accompanies the conditional fee agreement. If you lose the case, any money you have spent on medical or other expert opinions after we took out the insurance policy will be returned to you.
Under a conditional fee agreement, we recover on your behalf all or most of the cost of the work we do for you from the other side, if you win or settle the case. If you lose or abandon the case on our advice, we do not charge you for work done after signing the conditional fee agreement. In return for taking a risk, we will agree with you a "success fee." This is paid by the other side, not by you.
You avoid the risk of paying the other side's charges if the case is lost or has to be dropped.
