How Legal Fees Are Paid When You Make A Whiplash Claim

Whiplash Claim – How to get paid

Whiplash claim

Whiplash claim - Compensation

Although the news is always dominated by high-profile, multiple-vehicle accidents which happen on motorways as these are the most dramatic, the majority of car accidents in the UK are in fact fairly minor and see all involved able to walk away from the crash.

However, being able to walk away from a car accident doesn’t mean a person will have escaped completely uninjured and in fact one of the most common problems after a car crash is whiplash injuries, no surprise given the nature of the incidents.

Whiplash Claim – Launch your claim

Anyone who has been involved in an accident that wasn’t their fault and suffered whiplash injuries will be able to launch whiplash injury claims. However, some people may be put off making a whiplash claim for compensation because they fear running up a large legal bill in doing so.

However, in the vast majority of whiplash accident claims this shouldn’t be a worry as, if their injury is serious enough, they should be able to find a solicitor who is willing to handle their whiplash claim on a no win, no fee basis.

Whiplash Claim – No Win, No Fee

Of course, almost everyone will have heard of no win, no fee but what does it actually mean in practice when it comes to seeking whiplash compensation? Well, first and foremost it means that if a solicitor agrees to take a whiplash injury compensation claim on this basis, the person bringing it won’t have to pay him a single penny in order to proceed with the case.

However, this may not be enough to put everyone’s mind at rest as some may fear a chunk of their whiplash compensation may end up being taken away from them if they win. This isn’t the case though and they will be able to walk away with 100% of their whiplash injury compensation claim as the solicitor representing them will be able to recoup the cost of the case from the other side.

Put simply, no win, no fee means anyone looking to apply for a whiplash claim will be able to do so without having to worry about facing a heft legal bill if they lose.

Indeed, even if the case doesn’t go the way the solicitor originally thought it would and the person with whiplash injuries is awarded a sum so small it means they are unable to claim legal fees from the other side, then the solicitor will not be able to ask the claimant to cover the cost of the fees.

Although they are often seen as being relatively minor, whiplash injuries can cause real pain and discomfort for those who suffer from them and they have every right to launch a whiplash compensation claim if the accident which caused them was not their fault.

Whiplash Claim – Compensation

With this in mind, anyone looking to launch a whiplash injury compensation claim should contact a firm of specialist personal injury solicitors who will be able to guide them through the process and, if appropriate, accept the whiplash claim on a no win, no fee basis.
