Your injury claim is likely to be worth more than £5,000 or £1,000 if you are a "vulnerable road user". The following are vulnerable road users:
Motor cyclist or pillion passenger
Cyclist
Pedestrian

If you do not fall into any of these categories and you have suffered other injuries, over and above a whiplash injury, for example, a sprain to a wrist, hand, elbow, knee, ankle, foot, fractured ribs, hearing loss, tinnitus and they are considered to be more serious than a simple whiplash injury, your claim may well be worth more than £5,000. A fracture to any bone is likely to justify an award in excess of £5,000. In that case, costs should be recoverable.
The only deduction from your no win no fee compensation would be our success fee of 25%. If the injured party is a child or a person who lacks capacity to mange their own financial affairs we will not charge a success fee.

Is there a time limit when it comes to making a no win no fee claim?
For most personal injury cases there is a time limit of three years after the accident or injury occurred - for example if you're claiming for an illness then the time limit will start as soon as you are diagnosed and if you're claiming because you are injured as a result of an accident that wasn't your fault, the time limit will start as soon as the incident occurs. If you're not sure how much time you have left to make a no win no fee claim then you can contact a professional member of our team who can look into your individual case and let you know whether or not you are claiming on the correct grounds. If children have been involved in an accident or want to claim for an injury, they they will need an adult to act on their behalf and be their "Litigation friend". Their parent or any other suitable person can do this. A child can make a claim from three years after their eighteenth birthday. Don't hesitate to get in touch for more information.
