Answer to a question about No Win No FeeThe No Win No Fee Company;

A No Win, No Fee Claims Company is one that provides legal services in relation to negligence against a third party; the No Win No Fee part is the idea that they take the risk over the costs of the case and not you.

Any company in the UK advertising for No Win, No Fee work must be registered in the UK with the Government Claims Regulation Department, and also explain what they mean by "No Win No Fee", they must display the registration details on their website and any advertising literature.

Terminology;

No Win No Fee is a term commonly used when soliciting for Legal work, in particular it is used in the UK when discussing car accident claims, specifically those that involve a 3rd Party only insured driver who is hit by another driver who is "At Fault".

The 3rd Party Only insured would use the services of a Claims Management company and a Solicitor under a No Win, No Fee agreement.

The idea is that the Claims Management Company and the Solicitor take the risk for your case.

You do need to make sure that you do not pay a fee if you win, the claims management company and the solicitor should have their fees covered by the losing party.

It is worth noting that many solicitors ask you to sign an insurance indemnity certificate, just in case they lose they still get paid. (They usually pay the insurance premium)
