Obviously, just about everyone will have heard of no win, no fee but what does it actually mean in practice with regards to seeking whiplash compensation? Well, first of all it means that if a solicitor agrees to take a whiplash injury claim on this basis, the individual bringing it won’t have to pay him anything to be able to proceed with the case.
However, it isn’t really enough to place everyone’s mind at rest as some may fear a chunk of the whiplash compensation might end up being removed from them when they win. This isn’t the case though and they will have the ability to leave with 100% of their whiplash injury compensation claim as the solicitor representing them can recoup the price of the situation from the other side.
Quite simply, no win, no fee means anyone looking to apply for a whiplash claim can do so and never have to be worried about facing a heft legal bill when they lose.
Indeed, even if the case doesn’t go how a solicitor originally thought it might and the person with whiplash injuries is awarded a sum so small it means they’re unable to claim attorney’s fees in the other part, then your solicitor won’t be able to ask the claimant to pay for the price of the fees.
Although they in many cases are viewed as being relatively minor, whiplash injuries may cause real pain and discomfort for those who are afflicted by them and the’ve every to launch a whiplash claim when the accident which caused them was not their fault.
