How it works
Who will pay?
If we think that you have a good chance of making a claim for solicitors negligence or indeed any other professional negligence claim we will guarantee you a way of financing it.
On a successful case, (and we are confident that in most cases we will be successful); then the negligent party or their insurance will pay.
Different methods of funding the claim
- No Win no Fee – The most utilised form of funding.
- Legal Expenses Insurance
- Private paying – For those without the benefit of insurance and those who do not which to enter into a no win no fee agreement.
- Public funding – Exceptional circumstances only.
Our most popular way of funding
If, after discussion with yourself, we believe you have a valid claim we will ask you to pay £250 (plus VAT) which will be re-paid at the end of the case.
We will obtain your file from your Solicitors to confirm that you have a valid claim and will then contact you to let you know.
If you do have a claim we then instruct a specialist solicitor who obtains an advice from a specialist barrister. If both the solicitor and barrister are agreed then they deal with your case on a ‘no win, no fee’ agreement. Please note the fees as detailed below.
Time Limits
There is a time limit on making a claim which is 6 years from the negligent act, but there is a fall back position because if you were not aware of the negligence you can claim within 3 years of when you were aware or should have been aware of the negligence.
If you would like us to call you back to discuss your case, please fill in our callback form.
Charging Situations
Please note these charging situations:
If our solicitor tells you that you have a case and you decide not to proceed you will lose the £250 (plus VAT) you have paid us.
If, after an initial consultation, we both agree that there is a potential claim you will pay us £250 (plus VAT) to proceed. If however, after further investigation, our Solicitor decides that you do not have a valid claim, you will lose your £250 plus VAT).
If our solicitor tells you that you have a case and you do proceed, and your case is a success we will re-pay the £250 (plus VAT). If your case is unsuccessful, we will also re-pay the £250 (plus VAT).
If you don’t have a case
- If, during the initial consultation, we say you have no case you owe us nothing.
- If we say you have a case and in the unlikely event that you lose, you owe us nothing.
