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 as an organisation have used Rothera Bray on numerous other occasions when we have sold houses in our portfolio. Both Sarrina and Julekha are very easy to work with and have an abundance of knowledge in the legal conveyancing framework. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I cannot thank Seetal and Rothera Bray Solicitors enough for all the hard work and support they have given me over the last 4 years with my accident at work claim. They have been extremely thorough, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. Every step was clearly explained to me, and I always felt like they genuinely cared about getting the best outcome possible. Their attention to detail and dedication gave me a lot of confidence during a very difficult time. Thank you again for everything you have done for me.

I used Rebecca's services via Rothera Bray Solicitors to deal with the financial side to a divorce. I had an initial face to face appointment to talk through everything with Rebecca and this made me feel at ease and felt that Rebecca was the right person to help me. Rebecca has kept me highly informed at all stages throughout and has also given lots of great advice and has helped me a lot with getting things sorted. I am really happy with the service that I received and Rebecca was so friendly, kind, understanding and very helpful. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is requiring the help during a divorce.

We recently wished to effect a Declaration of Trust and changes to our tax positions with HMRC. It turned out to be relatively straightforward. However, in large part this was probably due to Ed Granger who dealt with the matter for us. He was highly attentive, full and clear in his explanations and checked our inputs thoroughly at every stage. Highly diligent, very pleasant and quick to respond. Thank you Ed.

Excellent service and advice from Lauren Kilbride at Rothera Bray Solicitors. Her advice was comprehensive, timely and professionally given. It made my decision making easy and the advice was delivered in language easy to understand. I would have no hesitation in seeking her services again should I require them.

Since 2017 Carol Freeman and her assistant Gail Garner have dealt with the selling and buying of a number of properties for me for personal and bereavement reasons. They have been excellent and I can’t praise them enough. Thoroughly professional, reassuring and patient. I have complete trust in them.

Julekha was a breath of fresh air as a conveyancing solicitor, she always had time for my many questions, was super efficient and constantly kept us up to date. Her time scale was excellent, although we could only go as fast as everyone else in the chain. Her Paralegal Sarrina Mills was also a real pleasure to deal with. Over all I would definitely recommend using them. Thank you
