how we can help you
what does “no win, no fee” mean?
“No win, no fee”, also known as a “conditional fee agreement”, is designed to protect you from any financial risk should you not win your case. If you are successful you will pay a contribution to your legal fees and this is usually a percentage of the compensation you are awarded and is agreed with you at the outset of your case. If you lose you do not pay any legal costs.
You may be entitled to compensation if you suffered and injury or illness as a result of a surgical procedure or if a health professional failed to diagnose or misdiagnosed your injury or illness.

If you have been awarded compensation for an accident or an injury, you may find that you are no longer eligible for certain means tested benefits or services.
A Personal Injury Trust is a legal document which ensures that such compensation is disregarded when assessing your eligibility for means tests benefits and services. It can also be used to protect the interests of those who are young, elderly, vulnerable or simply not used to managing a large sum of money.
Personal Injury Trusts might not be for everyone, however, careful consideration should be given to its advantages and the implications of not using one.
The law governing Personal Injury Trusts is complex and specialist advice is required to ensure your interests are protected and you are disadvantaged by payments.
