The year 1998 was the turning point with regards to personal injury claims. Prior to this time every individual in the UK was restricted to work according to the conditional fee agreement with their solicitors when looking to pursue compensation claims for personal injury. However in 1998 a new system by the name of no win no fee was introduced by the legislative authorities. Unlike the previous system which was unable to deliver justice to the injured victims, this system is much fairer and made it much easier to pursue injury claims.

Under this system the injured party was not regulated to incur the legal fee of hiring a personal injury lawyer to fight his case. Rather the solicitor would work with him on the basis of the no win no fee contract.

As the name suggests the solicitor will not be entitled to receive payment unless he manages to win the case. In simple terms if there is no win then there is no fee that has to be paid to the solicitor. This naturally works for the benefit of the injured party and he does not have to incur any costs whatsoever when pursuing his personal injury claim.

Irrespective of whether you are filing for whiplash claim or a work-related injury claim you will be entitled to receive 100% compensation under this contract. Even if the solicitor or law firm that you have working for you manages to win the case for you the legal fee will not be subtracted from your compensation. Rather the law firm will be responsible for acquiring their charges from the other party’s insurer.
