No win, no fee claims in the contemporary climate

Since coming into widespread effect for personal injury cases in 1999 with the introduction of the appropriately named Access to Justice Act, no win, no fee claims have become the most common route for individuals to seek accident compensation.

However, despite the near unanimous consensus that they improve access to compensatory justice for virtually all UK citizens, no win, no fee claims have never been far from controversy.

Unfortunately, their reputation has sometimes been hijacked by a minority of unscrupulous operators who, it can be argued, do not have the interests of claimants at heart. Perhaps the ultimate embodiment of these kinds of conditional fee personal injury compensation companies came in the form of the late Mark Langford and his Manchester-based Accident Group.

Langford was something of a "compensation cowboy" and built up a significant personal fortune while neglecting the concerns of both his clients and employees. By the time he died in a 2007 car accident he had amassed around £100 million in debts and become public enemy number one after sacking 2,500 of his workers by text message.

Now, it has been announced by the Justice Minister, the conditional fee system is to come in for review, not least because Citizens Advice claim consumers are "often induced into signing conditional fee agreements inappropriately".

Citizens Advice added, "Consumers are misled into thinking the system will be genuinely no win, no fee' but can often find that costs are hidden and unpredictable."

Fortunately, for all those who engage the services of YouClaim's personal injury solicitors, this is never a reality. We have no hidden costs or fees, and with all claims, but those involving cases of alleged clinical negligence, win or lose we never charge a penny. There is no small print, no ifs, no buts, just a completely cost-free service.
