No win, no fee solicitors' portrayal in fictional form

Since the abolishment of legal aid for personal injury cases in 1998, no win no fee solicitors have very much become conspicuous members of the professional classes. Yet, aside from a few appearances in comedy sketch shows, they have not really featured in fictional form at all.

This should be viewed as even more surprising when considering the twin facts that the conditional fee option has been available to personal injury claimants since 1995, and that legal professionals have always previously had a prominent place in fiction, film, and television.

Just think LA Law, Kavanagh QC, Rumpole of the Bailey and Erin Brockovich. There is no end to our fascination with the fine details and dramas of legal processes, even in their most fictional and titillating form.

Now, it seems, no win, no fee solicitors are finally about to be given their due. In 2008 the BBC announced plans to air the pilot of Admin, to be set in the offices of a fictional Manchester no win, no fee firm called Fox Carter & Co.

It is expected to be similar in style to Ricky Gervais' The Office and will include stars from Phoenix Nights, Bend it Like Beckham and Peep Show.

It remains to be seen what kind of PR effect, if any, it will have on the no win, no fee personal injury industry.

Making a claim for personal injury compensation
We all value our health and well-being, so, if we suffer personal injury as the result of another person's actions or omissions we may decide to seek compensation.

As any person who has been through the traumas of a car accident or work accident will tell you, pain, lost earnings and medical expenses all have the ability to get you down.

The no win, no fee solicitors on our panel firms are skilled in helping their clients claim for these things and over the years have forged an enviable success rate.

We do so without charging any legal costs or fees (with the exception of certain costs relating to medical negligence litigation, which will be reimbursed in a successful claim).

We also guarantee every successful claimant 100% compensation, and in all unsuccessful cases protect claimants from costs incurred by the opposing side.
