No Win No Fee
If you have been injured at work, on your way home, in a car, or just about anywhere, and the injury has been the result of someone elses direct irresponsibility and negligence, you may be entitled to some form of compensation. This does not necessarily mean that you have to sue them for rediculous amounts of money or that you should sue someone when you get injured just to make a “quick buck.”
However, what most people who have been injured don’t realise, is that getting injured may have more repercusions than just simply have a sore ankle or back. Getting injured may require surgery and medical costs. Many of these costs may be provided free of charge by the government health systems, but sometime the quality and the timing of the medical services can be better provided if you are a private paying customer. Furthermore, you may have the cost of perscription pills and other medical services as a result of your accident. Then you have to consider how long you may be off work for. I was injured and had 6months off work and consequently, had to pay for my mortgage with my savings, because once my sick leave entitlements ran out, I had to take leave without pay.
These are some of the issues you may wish to discuss with a lawyer. However, one reason that most people don’t contact a lawyer is the fear that they will end up with a larger bill from their lawyer than they will get for compensation.
One solution to this problem is to consider a “No Win No Fee” lawyer who specialises in negligence claims and is willing to provide a service on the basis that if you do not win your law case, then the lawyer does not get paid either. Most areas around the world have attorneys who work on this basis. However, it is important that if you wish to use a “No Win No Fee” lawyer, that you must thoroughly read your contract with your lawyer before hand. Some of these lawyers have special clauses in their contracts that may make you legally responsible or liable for certain fees and services if you do not win your case. Also, many of the “No Win No Fee” lawyer services are legally entitled to charge you for their costs if you have witheld vital information prior to the lawyer accepting your case.
