All people who live in the the UK can receive legal help for an injury from an accident with no fees up front. This policy is called the no win no fee agreement and also known as the Conditional Fee Agreement. This means that you can file a personal injury claim or a variety of other claims, and have a solicitor work for you without coming up with money. If your solicitor is successful in your claim, you pay nothing and all the fees are paid by the other party.
Not every accident claim is eligible for this no fee arrangement. Generally, the personal injuries that have come from medical negligence that can become lengthy are not suitable for the no win no fee arrangement. Scottish claims as well as criminal claims fall into this category also and are dealt with by other solicitors.
Only when you have suffered pain and financial loss can an injury claim be filed. If you have contacted an injury solicitor then he should let you know if he deals with no win no fee arrangements. As not all claims are the same, your solicitor will discuss all the options that you have open to you as a resident of the UK.
