A no win, no fee agreement, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), is an agreement that you make with your chosen solicitor whereby you don’t need to worry about paying upfront legal fees. If your claim is unsuccessful, there is no charge to you under this agreement. If you win your claim, your solicitor will take what is known as a ‘success fee’ from your compensation award for the work they have done for you in securing your compensation. Typically, customers pay a success fee of 25% of the amount awarded to cover their legal costs. This will be subject to your individual circumstances and may vary but will always be agreed with your solicitors upfront. There are some rare exceptions to this, however if they apply to you, your chosen solicitor will let you know before your claim starts. Therefore, a no win, no fee agreement covers the financial risk of making a claim. Importantly, it enables injury victims like you to safely go ahead and claim the compensation you rightly deserve – without worrying about the cost involved.
