If you or a loved one has been left with life-changing injuries in an accident that wasn’t your fault, First4Lawyers can help get you the justice and compensation you deserve.
Life changing or catastrophic injuries are generally those that have a major impact on the person – permanent disability, ongoing health problems and/or reduced life expectancy.
Yes. Life-changing injuries fall within personal injury and medical negligence. These are classed as civil cases (ie. no criminal charges involved) and so are covered by No Win No Fee in England and Wales.
There are different rules for personal injury and medical negligence in Scotland. You can use No Win No Fee agreements for personal injury claims, but not all medical negligence claims will qualify.
Northern Ireland has different laws around No Win No Fee, but your solicitor will be able to discuss this with you and will answer any further questions you have.
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation
Our No Win No Fee solicitors will take a success fee from the compensation you are awarded for a successful claim in the form of a percentage of your damages. This could be up to 25% but it won't be more than that, except in cases of road traffic accidents. Changing laws mean our solicitors will now take a payment of 30% of the final compensation amount plus VAT for all road traffic accident claims.
