What Is A Conditional Fee Agreement?
Conditional fee agreements (CFAs), commonly known as “No Win No Fee” arrangements, allow you to pursue a personal injury claim without any initial legal costs. If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t be liable for any fees. However, if your claim succeeds, a success fee will be deducted from any compensation that you’re paid. This allows you to seek justice without financial risk. It also means your solicitor is even more comitted to your case because they won’t be paid unless the claim is won.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Below, you can find answers to some frequently asked questions about personal injury claims.
How Long Will My Personal Injury Claim Take?
Most straightforward personal injury claims settle within 6 to 12 months. More complex cases — particularly those involving serious injuries or disputed liability — can take longer.
The solicitor we refer you to will provide a realistic timeline after reviewing your case. They’ll keep you informed throughout and work to resolve your claim as efficiently as possible.
Will I Need To Go To Court?
The vast majority of claims settle before reaching court. If your case does go to court — usually because liability is denied or the compensation amount is contested — your solicitor will handle the process on your behalf.
They will prepare all the necessary documentation and represent you during proceedings. You’ll be guided every step of the way, and most hearings are relatively informal compared to criminal court.
