No Win No Fee (and the other options)

comercrawley will ensure that your personal injury claim will not cost you a penny, win or lose.

There are generally two main ways of funding your personal injury claim:

The No Win No Fee Agreement (also known as a 'conditional fee agreement')
The no win no fee agreement is, on the face of it, a complex document – but the way in which no win no fee works is quite straightforward.

At comercrawley, we offer a true 'no win - no fee' service, which means that we ensure that your personal injury claim will not cost you a penny, win or lose. We only ask that you cooperate with us and act honestly.

We act for clients on a no win no fee basis in the hope and expectation that the personal injury claim will be successful, in which case comercrawley will recover the costs of your claim, as well as your compensation (the general rule is that the loser pays the winner's costs).

If you lose your case, the no win no fee agreement means that you do not have to pay comercrawley’s legal costs (we don't get paid).

We also promise you that if your personal injury claim is successful you will receive all of the compensation paid.

There are other legal costs involved in pursuing a claim for compensation. As well as your own solicitor's fees, there will be other expenses incurred in pursuing the claim. These are called 'disbursements' and include fees for medical records, medical reports, police reports and court fees. comercrawley takes care of these for clients - on the basis that if the claim is successful we will recover the fees from the other party.

comercrawley will also ensure that you will not be responsible for paying your opponent's costs if your claim is unsuccessful after court proceedings have started.

Whilst it is possible to insure against this risk, unlike many firms we do not believe that it is necessary to routinely insure cases (as the vast majority settle without the need for legal proceedings). If we feel that an insurance policy is necessary, under the no win no fee agreement we will pay the insurance premium on your behalf, where appropriate.

Effectively we take the risk of losing a case ourselves.

Legal Expenses Insurance
This means ‘Before The Event’ legal expenses insurance.

If you have legal expenses insurance cover linked to your motor, household or other type of insurance policy, you may not need to enter into a no win no fee agreement. Some legal expense insurance policies allow you to choose your own solicitor. comercrawley will advise fully concerning any legal expenses insurance policy that you may have.

Trade Union Membership
You may have legal expenses assistance through any Trade Union that you belong to.

However your claim is funded, comercrawley guarantees not to take a penny of your compensation. All compensation received in settlement of your claim will be paid direct to you.
