There are however a number of no win no fee solicitors that are dedicated to ensuring that real victims are helped, getting them the compensation they need to help make their lives more comfortable.
The following list suggests five reasons why no win no fee claims should be allowed to stay.
1) No upfront solicitor costs. The introduction of no win no fee agreements meant people injured in accidents were no longer required to pay upfront for the services of a solicitor. This in turn opened up the doors to normal, everyday working people who had been injured unfairly who may not have been able to afford the access to justice they should have been entitled to previously.
2) High chance of winning. In a time where solicitors get paid based on a successful outcome, the majority will only take on a case if they know they have a good chance of winning. This means that you can feel relatively confident if your claim is accepted by a reputable solicitor firm that a compensation payout is coming your way.
3) Maximum payout. People who make no win no fee claims and are successful will be entitled to the full amount they are granted by the court or insurance company of the person at fault. Their solicitors fees are paid separately by the losing party, meaning more cash in the long run.
4) Knowledgeable solicitors. Genuine lawyers are dedicated to getting the full amount of compensation you deserve. They will always advise you not to accept backhanded payments from insurance companies, and to actually make the effort to see your claim through to the end. Getting these services for free is great, particularly for those unfairly injured.
5) Quicker results. Part of the reason no win no fee claims were introduced was to speed up the process a victim received their compensation payout. Legal aid took far longer to process, now your claim can be submitted with a quick phone call and medical examination.
