How Our No Win No Fee Service Works
We believe that financial concerns should never prevent someone from pursuing compensation they are entitled to. For this reason, many of our personal injury claims are funded through a no win no fee agreement, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement, handled by our experienced no win no fee solicitors.
Under this arrangement, you do not pay anything upfront to begin your claim. If your claim is successful, our fees are taken as a pre-agreed percentage of the compensation recovered. If your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be required to pay our legal fees.
In some cases, it may also be possible to fund a claim through an existing legal expenses insurance policy, such as cover included with home or motor insurance. We will discuss all available funding options with you at the outset so you can make an informed decision.

The Personal Injury Claims Process
We aim to make the personal injury claims process as clear and manageable as possible. When you instruct our personal injury solicitors in Grantham, we will guide you through each stage of your claim and handle the legal work on your behalf.
1.Free initial consultation
Your claim begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. We will discuss how your injury occurred, the impact it has had on your life, and whether you may have grounds for a claim. At this stage, we can also provide an initial indication of the compensation you may be entitled to pursue.
2. Case assessment and evidence gathering
If you decide to proceed, we will carry out a detailed assessment of your claim and begin gathering evidence. This may include medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and any available digital evidence such as photographs or CCTV footage.
3. Submitting the claim and managing liability
We will formally start your claim by sending a letter of claim to the responsible party. From this point on, we will manage all correspondence and keep you informed if liability is admitted or disputed, advising you on the appropriate next steps.
4. Medical assessment and valuation
An independent medical expert will assess your injuries and prepare a report. Using this report, along with evidence of any financial losses, we will calculate the full value of your claim and prepare a settlement proposal.
5. Negotiation and settlement
We will negotiate with the other party to secure fair compensation. Most claims are resolved through negotiation without court proceedings. If a settlement cannot be reached, we will advise you on your options and represent you robustly should court action be required.
Compensation You Could Claim
The amount of compensation available in a personal injury claim depends on the severity of your injuries and the impact they have had on your life. Compensation is usually divided into two categories: general damages and special damages.
General damages cover non-financial losses, such as pain, suffering, and loss of amenity. Special damages relate to financial losses, including lost earnings, medical treatment costs, rehabilitation expenses, travel costs, and future care needs where applicable.
Our personal injury solicitors will provide realistic guidance on the level of compensation you may be entitled to pursue and ensure that all relevant losses are fully accounted for in your claim.

Personal Injury FAQs
How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?
In most cases, you have three years to bring a personal injury claim. This time limit usually runs from the date of the accident or from the date you first became aware that your injury was caused by negligence.
There are exceptions, including claims involving children or individuals who lack mental capacity. Our personal injury solicitors can advise on how the time limits apply to your situation.
How much compensation could I receive?
Compensation amounts vary depending on the seriousness of the injury, how it affects your daily life, and any financial losses you have suffered.
Awards can range from thousands of pounds for less serious injuries to significantly higher amounts for severe or life-changing injuries. We will provide clear guidance on the level of compensation you may be able to pursue.
Will my personal injury claim go to court?
Most personal injury claims are resolved without the need for court proceedings, usually through negotiation or early settlement.
Court action is typically only required if liability is disputed or a fair settlement cannot be reached. If court proceedings become necessary, we will guide you through the process and represent your interests throughout.
What does no win no fee mean?
A no win no fee agreement means you do not pay any legal fees if your personal injury claim is unsuccessful.
There are no upfront costs, and if your claim succeeds, our fees are deducted from the compensation recovered in line with the agreed terms. This allows you to pursue a claim without financial risk.
