How much you could claim depends on the severity of your injury, your recovery time and any financial losses you have suffered.

Personal injury compensation is made up of two parts:

• General damages: compensation for your pain, suffering and loss of amenity, valued against the Judicial College Guidelines used by courts across England and Wales
• Special damages: compensation for your financial losses, including lost earnings, medical costs and future care needs

Industrial deafness and burns claims common in steelworks environments often carry significant special damages, particularly where an injury prevents a return to physically demanding industrial work.

You may be eligible to make a No Win No Fee claim if you were injured within the last three years through no fault of your own. To bring a valid claim, you will typically need to demonstrate that:

• Your accident or injury occurred within the past three years
• Someone else was fully or partly responsible for your injuries
• You experienced genuine harm or illness as a consequence

Certain circumstances allow this time limit to be extended. These include claims on behalf of children, industrial diseases that only become apparent years after exposure, and cases where the claimant does not have the mental capacity to bring a claim themselves.

No Win No Fee means your success fee never exceeds 25% of your compensation, and that fee is only payable if your claim wins. This funding model removes the financial barrier that stops many people from pursuing the compensation they are owed.

Every No Win No Fee agreement with us includes:

• No cost to start. Your claim begins with nothing to pay upfront, whatever your financial circumstances.
• No cost if you lose. Should your claim be unsuccessful, you owe us nothing.
• A capped fee if you win. Our success fee is agreed in writing before your claim starts and never exceeds 25%.

Here is how the fee works in practice:

Most of our costs are recovered separately from the losing party’s insurer, not from your compensation.

How long your claim takes depends on the severity of your injuries and the complexity of the legal issues involved. As a guide, based on the claims we handle:

• Straightforward accident claims: around 9 months where liability is admitted and injuries have healed
• Accidents at work: typically 6 to 18 months, depending on whether liability is disputed and the extent of your recovery
• Serious head and brain injury claims: up to 3 to 4 years, as settlement should never happen before your long-term prognosis is clear
• Industrial disease claims: typically 3 to 4 years, as these rely heavily on medical evidence and proving historic employer negligence
• Mesothelioma claims: as little as 9 months, as the courts fast-track these cases due to the aggressive nature of the disease

A quick settlement is not always a good one. Insurers often make early offers before the full extent of an injury is known. We will never advise you to accept an offer unless we are confident it reflects the true value of your claim.

From accidents at work to serious road traffic accidents, one free call is all it takes to find out exactly what your No Win No Fee claim is worth.
