Solicitor's Fees For Personal Injury Cases

Before arranging with a solicitor to pursue your injury claim you need to be happy with how your legal costs will be met.

Depending on the strength of your case, most Personal Injury Solicitors will work on your behalf on a 'No Win - No Fee basis. This simply means that if you don't win your case you don't have to pay the legal fees. This arrangement is subject to a small insurance premium which your solicitor may pay on your behalf depending on your circumstances.

The expenses incurred in bringing the case. (These are called disbursements and often include fees for medical and police reports.) Your solicitor can arrange to protect you against this risk by taking out conditional fee insurance.

The Conditional Fee Agreement

The Conditional Fee Agreement sets out, in writing all the terms of the agreement between you and your Solicitor. At first glance these agreements can appear daunting but don't hesitate to contact your Solicitor if you have any questions or if you need some help completing the form.

Before you go ahead

Make sure you have considered the different options for paying for a solicitors services and that you understand the difference between paying the fees in the traditional way and using a conditional fee agreement with insurance backing. Copies of the documents should be available for you to read in advance.

Some of the most important points are :-

  • What are my chances of winning?
  • How much am I likely to recover?
  • Will my damages affect any D.S.S. payments I receive?
  • Will I have to pay any expenses or costs and if so, when?
  • What will I have to pay if I lose?
  • Would I be well advised to use a conditional fee agreement or should I consider some other method of paying my solicitor?
  • What would I have to pay if I did not use a conditional fee agreement?
  • Is it likely that my opponent will have the ability to pay if my case is successful?
