What does no win, no fee mean?
You’ve probably seen a lot of lawyers use the term ‘No Win, No Fee’. Long story short: you only pay us when you achieve a successful outcome. So if you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.
Let’s break it down.
- We start by reviewing your claim in detail and give you a clear assessment of your prospects for success. We’re experts in compensation law, so we can give you an accurate assessment of your claim.
- Once we’ve established that you should pursue your claim, you can tell us if you want us to proceed as your legal representatives. To formally appoint us as your legal representative, you will enter into a ‘Conditional Costs Agreement’ with us. This is a legal contract that sets out the likely costs of running your claim based on our fees, as well as the rights and responsibilities of you as the client and us as your legal representatives.
- We’ll explain it clearly and thoroughly, with as little legal speak as possible – we promise you’ll understand it completely.
- Importantly, this agreement will set out the ‘No Win, No Fee’ arrangement in black and white. This specifies that you will not pay us anything if your claim is not successful. Our ‘No Win, No Fee’ agreement also covers you for disbursements, or outlays. These are expenses that we may need to pay to progress your claim, including medical reports, expert witness fees and barristers’ fees.
- In certain circumstances, you may be required to pay the other party’s legal costs if you are unsuccessful.
- Remember, your success rests on you providing us with an honest, comprehensive account of all matters relevant to your claim.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?
If you have been injured due to another party’s negligence, you may have a valid claim. Contact us for a free consultation, and our experienced lawyers will assess the details of your case to determine its validity.
What types of compensation can I receive from a personal injury claim?
Compensation can cover various aspects, including medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and any other financial losses related to your injury.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
The time limit for filing a personal injury claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies depending on the type of injury and the jurisdiction. It’s essential to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure you do not miss the deadline.
Will I need to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many personal injury claims are settled out of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may go to trial, and we will represent you throughout the court process.
How much will it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
At Littles Lawyers, we operate on a “No Win, No Fee” basis. This means you won’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and you only pay if we win your case. This allows you to pursue your claim without financial risk.
How long will it take to resolve my personal injury claim?
The duration of a personal injury claim varies based on the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and whether a settlement can be reached out of court. Our lawyers will provide you with an estimated timeline during your consultation.
Can I handle a personal injury claim on my own?
While it’s possible to handle a claim on your own, having an experienced personal injury lawyer significantly increases your chances of securing fair compensation. Our lawyers understand the legal system, can negotiate effectively, and are prepared to take your case to court if necessary.
