How does No Win No Fee work?
A No Win No Fee agreement, legally known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), lets you make a personal injury claim without paying anything upfront. If your claim is unsuccessful, you pay nothing at all.
Here is how it works in practice:
- No upfront costs. We fund your claim from start to finish, so you can pursue compensation regardless of your financial situation.
- Nothing to pay if you lose. We carry the financial risk, not you. If your claim fails, you owe us nothing.
A capped success fee. Our fee is capped at 25% of your compensation and agreed in writing before your claim starts. Most legal costs are recovered from the losing party’s insurer, not from you.

- You suffered an injury or illness as a direct result
Some exceptions extend the three-year time limit, including claims involving children, industrial diseases diagnosed years after exposure, and claimants who lack mental capacity.

Here is how the process works from your first call to receiving your compensation:
- Free consultation. We assess your claim over the phone, at no cost, and give you an honest view on whether it can succeed.
- Your claim is valued. We value your claim against the Judicial College Guidelines, plus your lost earnings and expenses. You can also get an early estimate using our personal injury claims calculator.

No Win No Fee lawyers - FAQs
A No Win No Fee case typically takes 6 to 12 months where liability is accepted and your injuries have stabilised. Complex cases involving disputed liability, serious injuries or ongoing treatment can take 18 months to 3 years.
No Win No Fee solicitors take a success fee of up to 25% of your compensation, and only if your claim succeeds. At Nigel Askew Solicitors, our fee is capped at 25% with no hidden charges, and the exact figure is agreed in writing before your claim starts. Most legal costs are recovered from the losing party’s insurer, not from your compensation.
If you lose your personal injury claim under a No Win No Fee agreement, you pay nothing. Your No Win No Fee solicitor absorbs the cost of the work carried out, and insurance arranged at the start of your claim covers the opponent’s legal costs. This is what makes No Win No Fee genuinely risk-free for the claimant.
You can make a claim up to three years after an accident, or three years from the date you first linked your injury to someone else’s negligence. Children have until their 21st birthday to claim, and no time limit applies where the injured person lacks mental capacity. Claims issued outside these limits will almost always be barred by the court.
Yes, you can claim compensation for a fall if it was caused by someone else’s negligence. This includes falls on wet supermarket floors, uneven pavements, icy walkways that should have been gritted, and unsafe workplaces.
