No Win, No Fee, youclaim.co.uk

Costs of travel and no win, no fee arrangements


In its strictest definition, "no win no fee" refers only to the fees charged by the lawyer handling a compensation claim; costs and disbursements, such as fees for expert witnesses and police reports, may still be charged to a claimant whose solicitor uses the minimum definition.

The costs of travel are among the charges that some no win, no fee solicitors may bill their clients for; although much of the work on a compensation claim can be done by telephone and letter, the increasing costs of train journeys, especially when booked at short notice, could lead to a significant expense.

The good news is that it is possible to find personal injury solicitors who operate a no win, no fee system that offers protection from having to pay a lawyer's travel costs as part of the conditional fee agreement.

Even better news is that the travel costs that befall a personal injury victim may be included in a compensation claim, if it is successfully shown that these financial losses are the result of an accident injury that the defendant is liable for.

It is, therefore, advisable for people considering a no win, no fee compensation claim to check with the law firm they are thinking of using whether their arrangements do protect them from the other costs of making a claim.
