By far the best and most cost-effective way of achieving personal injury compensation is to enter into a no win no fee agreement with a solicitor.
The ‘no win, no fee’ agreement has replaced Legal Aid as the fairest means by which to pursue a claim for personal injury resulting from negligence.
It allows each and every UK citizen to pursue a claim in the secure knowledge that, were they to lose their claim, not a penny would go to the solicitor representing their case.
This means that if you are the unfortunate victim of a car accident and are suffering the effects of whiplash or psychological distress, the loss of earnings resulting from inability to work are compensated.
It is sensible to discuss with your solicitor whether or not to take out an After the Event insurance policy. This will guarantee you will not have to pay out any costs from the pursuit of your claim; meaning that you get to keep all of the awarded compensation.
This policy should be taken out by your personal injury solicitor and covers the costs of the administrative and research side of the claim. It will also cover the cost of any success fee your solicitor may include in the personal injury claim agreement.
