Can I make a no win no fee personal injury claim?
A ‘no win, no fee’ claim is also known as a conditional fee agreement. This type of agreement reduces the risk to you because there are no fees to pay upfront and if your case is not successful, you do not have to pay any legal fees, as long as you have co-operated with us and have not misled us. As a result, you can focus on your recovery, without worrying about legal fees.
Success fee
If we can act on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis and your case is successful, you will pay a contribution towards your legal fees. You will pay what is called a success fee. This is based on a 100% uplift on your basic legal costs, capped at 25% of the value of your claim for pain and suffering and past losses. We cannot say exactly how much the success fee will be, as this depends on the final value of your claim and how much work is involved in your case.
However, please rest assured that the success fee cannot be any more than 25% of your compensation. If you lose your claim, then of course you do not pay a success fee.
Insurance
Whilst acting on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, we may, either at the start or as your case progresses, advise you to instruct us to put in place a policy of After The Event Insurance (ATEI).
This policy will protect you from paying any of your own disbursements, such as medical report fees and court fees and any costs incurred by the other party if you lose your claim. If you win your claim, this ATEI premium is deducted from your damages. If you lose your claim, you do not pay the premium.
Alternative funding
In most circumstances, we act on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis.
If your claim cannot be dealt with on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, we will let you know before the claims process starts. Alternative funding options are sometimes available, such as Trade Union Membership and Legal Expenses Insurance, which is often included on household insurance policies.

We would give your service a full 5 stars without hesitation. The communication from start to finish was second to none—you kept us informed at every single stage, answered our questions promptly, and made what could have been a stressful process feel entirely seamless and straightforward. We are incredibly grateful for all your hard work, thoroughness, and dedication to getting our purchase across the finish line. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rothera Bray (and specifically you!) to any family or friends looking for legal support.

George was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I had an urgent requirement, so we met on Teams. He was clear, understanding, supportive and incredibly knowledgeable! I can't recommend Rothera Bray more highly! Next time I need legal support, they will be my first call (hopefully not for while!). 10/10!

I was recommended to use Rothera Bray by a family friend. The staff at Rothera Bray worked relentlessly. They showed a high level of professionalism, and were extremely supportive throughout my divorce and separation, particularly while dealing with a very challenging opposition. They gave me peace of mind, and I always felt safe in the knowledge that I was being well supported during what was an incredibly difficult time in my life. I will always be grateful for the advice, guidance, and compassion they all showed throughout the process. I would never wish for anyone to find themselves in a situation requiring legal support, but if they do, your team will be the first I recommend without hesitation.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nelissa at Rothera Bray in Loughborough. She has the ability to make complicated issues understandable, to enable you to consider options and reach a decision (we were completing our wills and updating a Deed of Trust). Additionally Nelissa is very thorough, approachable and efficient, producing our documents within days. Nelissa feels like ‘a safe pair of hands’ .

Isabella & Nelissa were both superb in their handling of the Estate of my late mother. They gave helpful advice with regular updates & quick responses to questions asked. They are without a doubt professional & proficient in what they do. I have no hesitation in recommending them & the firm of solicitors they represent, and will use them again in the future.

I cannot thank Rothera Bray Loughborough enough; my house move should have been straight forward, but several hiccups happened along the way. I did both my sale and purchase through them and had excellent service. They were supportive, offered great advice and updates and was their when I had multiple queries. Luisa was amazing, she was there for me when I didn't understand certain queries and was a really calm influence when I was worried about queries I had on the property I was buying. I would 100% recommend Rothera Bray and if I did ever move again I would use them in a heartbeat. Thanks so much!!

We have used Rothera Bray in the past, when dealing with my late mother's estate. Everything was handled really well, so I contacted Kerry Redfern at their Mapperley branch to sell a property I owned, which was intended to provide retirement funds. Kerry handled everything in a timely manner. The whole process was far less stressful than I had feared and here we are on completion day, with the money in our bank. I feel that Kerry's knowledge in relation to selling property, is extensive and she has guided us through every step of the process. As with probate after my mother's death; and also Rothera Bray dealing with an equity release situation, which facilitated my brother remaining in my late mother's home; I cannot fault the service we have had from them. I feel confident they can successfully deal with any situation that may present in the future where the services of a solicitor are required. We are grateful to them.

George helped me with every step of the process when I was facing redundancy, offering invaluable advice and helping me to complete the settlement agreement from my workplace. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend George and Rothera Bray to expertly handle matters, particularly for Employment law/redundancy services.

I recently used Rothera Bray for a house sale and purchase. The service I received from Ellie Robinson was top tier I was always kept up to date with the progression of the sale and purchase if ever I had any queries they were always answered quickly. My purchase wasn't straightforward there were a few teething problems with the property we were buying that needed to be sorted to make sure we weren't going to be in a bad situation after purchasing and Ellie made sure she went through everything with a fine tooth comb and everything was right before completion. Grace Millward also helped with things and was great. I would definitely recommend this company.

The solicitor I worked with Fatima Altaf was efficient and personable, sharing realistic information and managing our expectations on what was possible, while also always working in our best interest to understand and progress the outcome to our needs and desired outcomes. We would be very happy to recommend Rothera Bray, we found the whole team to be very supportive, positive and dynamic, we were always informed of updates and there were no gaps or unexpected surprises throughout the process.
