If you are considering making a No Win No Fee claim, one of the terms that nearly always appears in any solicitor or claims management companies’ adverts is No Win No Fee claim. From what our clients tell us, and from our own legal expertise, this phrase can be both confusing and misleading.
Here at Camps Solicitors we pride ourselves on making the claims process as clear and straightforward as possible. With that in mind in this section of the website we have put together a guide to No Win No Fee claims, what they mean, and any risks that are involved.
No Win No Fee claim agreement
No Win No-Fee claim agreements or, “Conditional Fee Agreements” as they are known by solicitors, were introduced by the government as part of a series of legal reforms back in 1995. They were brought in as a way to provide access to legal services for people who would previously have been unable to afford them. The agreements were so successful that in 2000 they completely replaced legal aid for personal injury cases and are now the primary means of funding personal injury claims.
A Conditional Fee Agreement means that in the event that your No-Win No-Fee claim is lost you will not have to pay Camps Solicitors a penny for our services to you. What many people may not understand is that if your case is won, you will also not have to pay any of your compensation to your solicitor, as they will be able to claim their fees and your compensation from the defendant’s insurers.
Under the No Win No Fee system, we will claim all our costs back from the other side’s insurers if your accident compensation claim is successful. To guard against having to pay money out if you lose your No-Win No-Fee claim, we can arrange a special legal insurance policy known as an After the Event insurance policy that will pay out the legal fees if your case is lost, so you don’t have to.
If you have been injured in an accident and you are considering making a claim, then a No Win No Fee agreement could be just what you need. The staff at Camps Solicitors will explain how simple, easy and risk free making a claim really is. If the accident was not your fault then it is only fair that you are compensated for any injuries you have suffered.
Not every type of court case is funded using a No Win No Fee or Conditional Fee Agreement. It might be that the person making the claim is wealthy enough to cover the legal costs of the case out of their own pocket – if they lose. Or it might be that there is an alternative source of funding to pay for the legal expenses of the case, such as legal aid provided by the government, or legal financing provided by a third party.
If however you have been injured or had your property damaged in an accident caused by another person and you don’t have the resources to finance a compensation claim yourself, then making a No-Win No-Fee claim could help you to gain access to justice. It will also mean you do not have the worry of having to pay your No-Win No-Fee solicitor’s legal bills afterwards.

In road accidents, No-Win No-Fee claims can be brought by people who have been injured through no fault of their own, regardless of whether they were driving a vehicle that has been hit by another motorist, travelling as a passenger in a vehicle or whether they were a pedestrian. No Win No Fee compensation claims can also help cyclists and motorbike riders who have been injured due to someone else’s negligence.

In addition, your No Win No Fee solicitor will also look at all the other losses you have suffered as a result of the accident. These losses might cover physical objects, such as items of your property that were damaged in the accident, or expenses you incurred as a result of the accident such as travel costs and compensation for any time you spent off work.
