Understanding ‘No Win, No Fee’
There are two types of costs that are incurred when running a legal matter – professional costs and disbursements.
- Professional costs are our fees for the work that we do for you.
- Disbursements are the expenses that we incur running your matter.
No Win, No Fee* means:
- If you are not successful in obtaining compensation, you do not have to pay our professional costs.
- You will still be responsible for disbursements incurred during your matter, regardless of the outcome.
What Are Disbursements
Disbursements are the necessary expenses incurred in the process of handling your legal matter. These are distinct from our professional fees and are essential to advancing your case.
Common disbursements include:
- Court Fees: The costs associated with filing documents and other court-related expenses.
- Independent Medical Assessments: Fees for medical examinations and reports from independent medical professionals are crucial for substantiating your injury claims.
- Health Records Requests: Charges for obtaining your medical records, which are necessary to build a comprehensive case.
While you are liable for these disbursements regardless of the outcome of your case, it is important to note that if you are successful in obtaining compensation, your opponent will likely reimburse most, if not all, of these costs.
Throughout your case, we diligently ensure that all disbursements are reasonable and necessary and directly contribute to the progression of your matter.
No Upfront Costs
In most cases, when your matter is handled on a No-Win, No-Fee basis, there are no upfront costs. This approach is designed to alleviate the financial pressure on you and allow you to focus on your recovery.
However, some more complex matters may require upfront payment for certain disbursements to facilitate the investigation and gathering of evidence for your claim.
We will always discuss these requirements with you in advance to ensure transparency and that you are well-informed before making any decisions regarding your claim.
