No Win No Fee Solicitors: Understanding Their Raison D’être for Further Reference

Why did the no win no fee solicitors come into existence in the UK legal scenario? The legal aid system, which was the only resort for the accident victims until 1995, got abolished and the new no win no pay lawyers came into existence. The Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 prepared the bedrock for this new system. However, the no win no fee laws were not in a consolidated state until 1995. The abolishment of the legal system in a way paved the path of emergence of these solicitors. The Access to Justice Act 1999 further reformed the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 and with effect from April 1, 2000, the losing parties became legally obligated to pay the Success Fees of the other party.

What sorts of personal injury cases are dealt with by them?

The no win no fee legal experts offer their services for a range of personal injury cases. You can appoint a solicitor of this type for filing lawsuits against the below-mentioned preconditions.

• In case you have met a road accident (car accident/bus accident/train accident).
• In case you have been suffering from an industrial disease such as mesothelioma.
• In case you have become fallen ill or have been injured while you were touring outside the country for business or leisure purpose.
• In case you have been attacked and injured by an animal (especially domestic such as dog bite).
• In case you have met an accident at work.
• In case you have been diseased or injured because you consumed or used a faulty product.
• In case you have been injured in a public place (e.g. a shopping mall)
• In case your family member or relative (blood relation required) have died because of any the catastrophes as described above.

To make the long story short, you can claim compensation through no win no fee solicitors if you have been injured, jeopardized and immobilized that resulted from the negligence of any other person or entity.

I understood the person part, but why entity?

This is because in many cases the competent authorities are found responsible for the accidents that are faced by the innocent individuals. For example, you were driving your motorbike as usual on any of those motorways wearing all the safety gears such as helmet (and you were driving within the speed limits too) and you met an accident because of the faulty road, who do you blame? Of course, the concerned authority (as for this case, the Highways Authority) is liable for the accident you met. No win no fee solicitors who have years of experience can help you deal with tricky situations.

Thankfully enough, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of these solicitors now offering their legal services. Unfortunately, there are several others who just proclaim themselves as no win no fee lawyers and not are even worth that title, let alone the ‘no win no fee’ part. It is essential to tell apart a reliable solicitor from a fake one. One easy way is to check whether the no win no fee lawyer is SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) authorized or not.
