How much No Win No Fee compensation will I receive?
Without an initial consultation, it’s difficult to say exactly what you might be entitled to. But if your claim is successful, your compensation will most likely be split into general damages and special damages.
General damages* cover the effect your injury has had on your quality of life. They compensate you for the pain and suffering you’ve been through as a direct result of your injury, as well as any changes you’ve had to make to your lifestyle – such as giving up a sport or hobby.
Special damages are designed to reimburse you for any impact your injury has had on your finances. This might include further medical treatment, loss of earnings if you couldn’t work, and any other expenses relating to your injury.
If your No Win No Fee claim is unsuccessful, you won’t be awarded any compensation. But you won’t have to pay your solicitor’s legal fees, which means there is no financial risk to you.
