No win, no fee serious and catastrophic injury claims

We want to ensure that everyone who has suffered a serious or catastrophic injury through no fault of their own has a chance to pursue compensation. This is why we offer conditional fee agreements to the majority of our clients, also commonly known as ‘no win, no fee’ claims.

This type of fee deal means that you pay nothing at the outset to start a claim and will only be liable for legal fees and expenses if we secure compensation for you. This means that you do not have to worry about how to fund your claim and will never be left out of pocket.

The amount you pay will be based on a percentage of the compensation you receive and in many cases the majority of court costs can be recovered from the defendant, reducing your costs further.

Please speak to a member of our team to discuss the suitability of a no win, no fee agreement for your serious injury claim, or to explore other options, such as legal expenses insurance funded claims.

Common questions about serious and catastrophic injury claims

What is a serious or catastrophic injury?

A serious injury, also known as a catastrophic injury, is generally considered to be one that requires hospital treatment and leaves the injured party with long lasting or permanent consequences. These terms are also often used to refer to injuries that result in death 30 or more days after the accident (injuries that cause death sooner than this are usually considered ‘fatal accidents’).

The consequences of a serious injury can include physical effects, such as difficulties with mobility, cognitive effects, such as memory problems personality changes, or mental health effects, such as PTSD.

What is the time limit to claim for a serious injury?

You will normally have 3 years from the time the injury occurs to make a claim, although this will depend on the circumstances.

If the injury happens to a child, their next of kin will usually have until the child turns 18 to make a claim for them, after which the child will have a further 3 years to make a claim for themselves if one has not already been started.

If the injured party has been left without the mental capacity to bring a claim for themselves, e.g. due to serious brain damage, there is no time limit for their next of kin to bring a claim on their behalf.

Who can make a serious injury claim?

The claim will normally need to be brought by the injured party or their next of kin. If the claim is being brought for a child, the person bringing the claim will need to be appointed as a Litigation Friend. We can help with this process, ensuring you are able to effectively pursue a claim for your loved one.
