The no win no fee scheme was introduced in 1988 at which time legal aid was withdrawn for most personal injury claims. The scheme is properly known as a ‘conditional fee arrangement’ (CFA) whereby a solicitor is only entitled to claim legal fees for conducting the claim if there is a successful outcome and the claimant is awarded damages. In the event that a product liability claim is lost the solicitor must forgo his legal charges and it is usually the solicitor who shoulders all the expenses.

Solicitors have different terms and conditions when it comes to implementing no win no fee agreements for defective product claims. Some law firms will expect their clients to fund all expenses thereby putting them at risk in the event of a loss and in addition some law firms will also charge interest on certain aspects of the claim. Our lawyers will fund the entire product liability claim process out of their own pockets, paying for everything related to the claim including insurance, medical record and report fees, court fees and other processing fees. In addition our lawyers will pay defective product compensation in full without any deductions. Our system for claiming compensation does not require you to put your hand in your pocket and is also totally risk free.

A potential problem with a no win no fee agreement arises if the case is lost. In the event that the claim is lost then the claimant is responsible for paying for the legal expenses of the winning side. Even though the claimant has no liability to pay his own solicitor he may have a liability to pay the other sides legal expenses which can be substantial if the matter goes to trial. To avoid this problem our solicitors will pay for a policy of “after the event” insurance, out of their own pockets, which covers legal costs in the event of a loss.
