Defending no win, no fee work accident claims

People who perpetrate the compensation claim culture' myth like nothing more than to attack the no win, no fee system.

For them, no win, no fee is made into an ideal symbol of social evil, making millionaires out of money-hungry liars. Fortunately, this is completely untrue.

As some people might know, no win, no fee came into being in 2000 to replace a faltering, costly and inefficient system of legal aid.

If no win, no fee claims didn't exist
It is no coincidence that those who attack the no win, no fee system are usually extremely high-paid columnists for some of the UK's biggest newspapers.

With the kind of six-figure salaries they are on, chances are that if the no win, no fee system didn't exist and they suffered a work accident they would have no trouble securing expert legal representation.

Whereas if the no win, no fee system didn't exist and a someone such as a factory worker earning only £12,000 a year suffered spinal injuries in an accident at work, he or she would have no means of securing legal representation.

This would be a tragedy and the thousands of people who suffer workplace injuries each year in work accidents in England, Scotland and Wales through making no win, no fee compensation claims would find themselves facing unbelievable physical, financial and emotional hardship.

Do those who attack the supposed immorality of the no win, no fee claims system really believe that making a compensation claim for work injuries suffered in an accident at work should only be the preserve of the privileged and wealthy?

Surely this hypothetical scenario presents more troubling moral questions than the very small minority of claimants who abuse the no win, no fee claims system?

No win, no fee fraud is rare
Even in the rare cases where the no win, no fee system is abused, the fraudsters are often caught. Take for example a recent car accident and work accident claim fraud cartel that was operating from Bradford.

The no win, no fee scammers became the subject of lengthy police investigation and were eventually arrested in a well-planned police sting. There will now be no opportunity to make false work accident claims for them as they'll be firmly locked up in British prison cells for some time to come.

Against this background of sensational scapegoating media coverage of the no win, no fee claims system it can be easy to forget that essential purpose of this method of claiming compensation is to provide justice to those who undergo human suffering through no fault of their own.

No win, no fee justice
A recent case involving a Newcastle forklift driver who was seriously injured in a work accident should be enough to silence any reasonable and rational doubters of the no win, no fee system.

He was left paralysed in the work accident which a court later found to be the fault of his employers. He has six children and is a loving and devoted father but is now both unable to work to provide for them and unable to play with them in a free and physically unimpaired way.

He has now won his right to personal injury compensation which, while not in any making up for his work accident misfortune, at least allows him and his children to lead as full a life as possible.

The no win, no fee claims system provides for such people ensuring that the ability to access legal advice and representation in the UK is not divided along class and monetary lines.

That is exactly why the no win, no fee system was set up in the first place and the evidence tells us that it still appears to be working.
