In the making of some successful no win, no fee compensation claims it may not actually be necessary to prove strict negligence as it was once defined under the fluid body of common law.
This is because there are various pieces of legislation, such as The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (SI 1992 No 3004), in place that override old common law precedents by placing obligations on potentially liable parties such as employers or medical practitioners.
There are numerous examples of these protections allowing for successful no win, no fee compensation claims where solely under old common law principles they once would not have been possible.
One of these occurred in December 2008 when a school caretaker who had suffered injury in the workplace after tripping over a paving stone won a claim against the relevant council. Whereas the incident would once have been regarded as a "freak accident", the solicitor handling the case was able to prove that the man's employer had a legislatively prescribed liability.
Proving old-fashioned style negligence may not be necessary in other circumstances too. For example, only a minority of successful personal injury claims go to court. The vast majority are settled in negotiations between insurer and no win, no fee solicitor. In some cases they may be settled without any admission of liability. The reasons for this are various, not the least the benefit of expediency to both claimant and defendant.
Sometimes cases may even go as far as reaching court before a last gasp settlement is reached. This is a scenario not unfamiliar to medical negligence claims, where it is relatively common for an NHS trust to pay compensation without making any admission of negligence.
