Insurance

'No Win No Fee' is a term generally used in British Language to describe the Conditional Fee Agreement between a law firm and their client. Under this agreement, lawyers are allowed to take a case further if their clients have lost previously. In such a case, the client will not have to pay any extra amount for further defense and still be accountable for the defendants cost if the case is lost. If lawyers win such a case then they are entitled to their standard fee plus uplift extra referred to as a success fee.

The No win no fee structure was announced in the UK in 1995. These days, several personal injury cases use this procedure. Medical negligence is misconduct or carelessness by doctors or other hospital staff while a person is undergoing a treatment, leading to personal injury or death is some cases. Clinical negligence leading to personal injury is violating the standards that medical professional are expected to maintain. While facing physical injury due to medical negligence, one could take advice from websites especially built for this purpose. These sites advise you throughout the compensation process. They keep you updated of the rights that you are entitled to. You could also gain all the necessary information regarding the No win no fee structure. Personal injury compensation claims can be further made using this structure.

Moreover, in the UK, the success fee cannot be more than 100 percent of the lawyer's regular fee. Again, if the client wins the case, either the Court or the losing party will pay for the damages.

Besides, to protect clients from any sort adverse cost order, a solicitor can buy the ATE (After the Event Insurance) that is used to describe the type of funding document which is generally taken by lawyers on behalf of their client. Such documentation is generally done at the outset of a claim, during the CFA (Conditional Fee Agreement), whereas ATE is basically designed to protect the client from the risk of legal costing and disbursements. The solicitor can decide whether to advise Client for ATE Insurance or not. Beyond this, there are three other alternatives to ATE for backing an individual injury claim - Legal Expenses Insurance (LEI), often referred to as Before the Event (BTE) Insurance, Legal Aid and Paying for own Legal costs.
