No Win No Fee

June 28, 2007 3:57am CST
I want to make a personal injury claim, and have seen a lot of "no win, no fee" companies on the TV. What does No win no fee mean? If you win a small amount but fees are large, could you end up paying more than you win?

Ask the lawyer that you want to hire directly, if they say there's a fees you have to pay, go to others. Otherwise, go to free lawyer service or NGO that provide free service, usually they can help you.

Im pretty sure that when you claim compensation, the other side will pay your fees on top of the compensation, so you will always take 100% compensation. However, Im not entirely sure! Check out the following sites as they have some info about your topic: http://www.national-accident.co.uk http://www.nowinnofeeclaims.com Hope that helps! x
