How much will I have to pay my Solicitor?

If Thompsons Solicitors deal with your personal injury compensation claim, we will recover our legal fees from the person responsible for your injury or their insurers. This means that you would not pay anything out of your own pocket to your solicitor.

We will also not deduct anything for our services from the compensation you are awarded and will not ask you to take out a loan to fund your personal injury claim.

This service is a genuine cost-free service.

What does “No Win, No Fee” really mean?

Literally speaking, the term “No Win, No Fee”, means that if you do not win your claim for compensation, then you do not have to pay your Solicitors fees.

Despite popular opinion, “No Win, No Fee” does not always mean that your claim is being dealt with on a completely cost-free basis as the phrase does not mention what fees you would need to pay if you won your claim for compensation.

Unfortunately, the term “No Win, No Fee” has often been adopted by unscrupulous solicitors or claims management companies to mislead their clients into thinking that the service is cost-free. When the injured person’s claim is successful, their solicitor then issues them with an invoice or deducts a percentage of their compensation.
