How YouClaim helped a man to get compensation on a no win, no fee basis
You may feel daunted by the thought of making a no win, no fee claim if you think that, like a lot of legal action, it will seem quite complex and overwhelming. However, when you make a compensation claim through YouClaim, you will see that we are quite different. We specialise in making the process as straightforward as possible and never charge you a penny.
One of the customers that we were able to help on a no win, no fee basis was a 54-year-old man who was involved in a motorcycle accident in 2005.
Case study - a no win, no fee motorcycle accident claim
Our customer was a very experienced motorcyclist and had ridden regularly for around 30 years. He was on his way to a meet of his local bike enthusiast club in Essex when he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident.
He had been travelling down a dual carriageway in the outside lane and was approaching a roundabout when a car pulled out into his lane, causing him to swerve. Despite his best attempts to avoid an accident, he was unable to control the motorcycle and crashed into the central reservation.
He sustained a badly-fractured upper leg and slight shoulder injuries in the motorcycle accident which took over a year to heal to a satisfactory level, although he was left with a noticeable limp. He was off work for a considerable period of this time and, whilst he was recuperating, decided to make a compensation claim against the driver that had caused his accident.
However, he had experienced thousands of pounds in lost earnings whilst he was off work and he really wanted a personal injury firm that would not charge him anything to make a claim and which specialised in dealing with motorbike accidents like his. He saw our website and gave us a call to find out more about our no win, no fee service.
We explained that he would not have to pay anything at all, no matter what the outcome of his motorcycle accident claim. This is because if his claim is successful, all the costs and fees incurred will be paid by the insurers of the car driver who had caused his accident.
We added that the no win, no fee agreement that our personal injury solicitors work under means that he will be protected from their fees in the event of an unsuccessful case. Read more about what no win, no fee is.
He was pleased to hear that our service is completely cost-free and decided to proceed with his motorcycle accident claim. We referred him to one of the solicitors on our panel that specialises in motorbike accidents. As a fellow biker himself, the solicitor was able to empathise with our customer and the claim proceeded smoothly.
The injured man's bike was only insured on a third-party policy and so the solicitor pulled out all the stops to get an excellent settlement for the written-off bike. The solicitor also arranged rehabilitation with a personal injury specialist and made sure that the 54-year-old's damaged leathers and helmet were replaced. None of this cost the injured man a single penny and the costs were ultimately paid by insurance company of the car driver.
Our personal injury solicitors were able to negotiate a settlement of £18,500 for him within eight months of starting work on his no win, no fee claim. He was thrilled to receive a cheque for the full amount shortly after being notified of his compensation award and was delighted with the fact that he had not had to pay a thing from start to finish.
