No Win, No Fee, youclaim.co.uk

No win no fee opponents must exaggerate evidence


No win, no fee agreements and health and safety rules are bugbears for some figures who represent the people who must abide by them. This can lead to screeds being written against the process of making a compensation claim, in which much steam is vented, but this is unlikely to convince anyone with experience of accident injury that the process is too much in their favour.

One example of such a philippic came from a road safety figure attached to the fleet operation industry in 2009. The man held forth to an industry magazine at length about the lack of common sense in a mollycoddled society that weighs the rights of employees far too heavily in comparison to the poor businesses that employ them. He then suggested, as an example of this, that firms now need to ask their employees not to drink and drive while on company business.

This assertion comes without any citations of cases where a work accident involving a drink-related car accident has been shown to be an employer's fault, so it is impossible to check what sources the safety figure is using. However, the assertion is qualified by the note that the employers need to do so out of fear of compensation claims.

If this is so, the conclusion that should be drawn is not that the law is at fault, but the employers' understanding of it. A no win, no fee claim may well fail if the contributory negligence of the injured party is shown to have been a significant factor in an accident injury - the law already allows for this.

If antagonists to the compensation claim process must exaggerate their fears to make a point, it suggests that the truth of the process is not far enough from common sense to justify the outrage they want to express. Or, to put it another way, a no win, no fee claim is, in fact, within the bounds of common sense where injury befalls an innocent victim.
