No win no fee agreements are also known as CFA’s. This stands for Conditional Fee Agreement. This arrangement started in American and joined our legal system in 1998. From the year 2000 they became a firm part of the legal justice system in England and Wales. Oakwood Solicitors will reclaim their legal fees from the third party if your case is successful without deducting anything from your compensation award. If they agree to take your case they are confident of success because you still don?t pay them any fees if your claim is unsuccessful.
This arrangement has changed some people’s lives because imagine how many victims didn?t pursue a compensation claim because they couldn?t afford the legal fees?
39 year old Mr B from Hayes had a genuine personal injury claim and he was awarded £3831.64 in compensation for his accident at work. In most cases it will be the third party’s insurance company who will foot the bill for the legal fees.
Oakwood’s no win no fee agreement has changed the lives of many accident victims who have been injured at work; accident claims in the UK have resulted in millions of pounds of compensation being paid to people who are entitled to financial recompense for their suffering.
All employers have a duty to their employees to provide adequate protection against injury in the workplace. In larger organisations this duty may be managed by another senior member of staff. However it is ultimately the responsibility of the employer to ensure that all health and safety regulations are being followed. If there is any breach of duty of care the onus is on the employer.
Employers in the UK have been liable for millions of pounds worth of personal injury compensation claims in the last few years and in many cases it is just a lack of common sense which causes an accident.
It is advisable to speak to a personal injury specialist before you go any further so they can analyse your case and guide you in the right direct through this very complex area of the law.
