No Win – No Fee Explained
The expression “No Win – No Fee” is often used in personal injury cases. It is used as
a way of funding a compensation case where the accident victim does not have the means to pay the
costs involved as the case progresses. A number of solicitors are prepared to handle personal
injury cases on a “No Win – No Fee” basis but very few are able to offer their clients complete
protection if the case is unsuccessful. In that event, the client could end up being liable
for many thousands of pounds in legal expenses. Digby Brown, with its own funding
company,
Compensate, provides a complete
litigation funding and indemnity package. This allows claimants to litigate with no financial risk.
If the case is successful,
Compensate is entitled to charge a
success fee expressed as a percentage of your damages. The percentage which
Compensate will charge depends on the
degree of risk involved. If the case is unsuccessful, Compensate pays all your legal expenses and
those of your opponent – you pay nothing.
