How Do I Know I Can Make a No Win, No Fee Claim?
Many people who want to make an injury claim are attracted by no win no fee. This is because it can be a much easier way to manage the cost of making a compensation claim. There is no legal aid for this sort of claim and so this is a way for those who cannot afford a solicitor to find a way to manage the cost.
Not everyone will be accepted on a no win no fee basis. It is much better if you have some strong evidence in your favour. The solicitor will need to be able to prove that the accident was not your fault and if they cannot do that then they will not be prepared to take on the case. It may be difficult for you to know if there is enough evidence and so it is useful to speak to a solicitor in order to find out.
Most of them will give you a free initial consultation and so this is a great opportunity to discuss your case and find out what they think. You will get an idea as to whether they think you have a good chance f winning the case and they will be able to let you know whether they are willing to take you on. If they do not want to take on your case, then it is worth contacting a few other people, because you could find someone who will take it on.
You should think hard though. If you only have a low chance of winning the case, it could be better to forget about it. You will have to go through a lot and pay out some money and it may be a waste of time. It could be better just to forget about it and move on. Do some research and find out the chances of you winning and the costs so that you can make an informed decision.
