Personal Injury Claims

No Win No Fee Solicitors Explained


No Win No Fee is a payment arrangement between an individual and a Solicitor whereby there are no legal fees payable to the Solicitor in the event that a Personal Injury Claim is unsuccessful.

Thus the expression ‘No Win No Fee’.

In the event that a claim is successful and compensation is awarded to an individual, a Solicitor's legal fees form a pre-agreed part of the arrangement.

No Win No Fee Solicitors Explained

Why do No Win No Fee Solicitors exist?

No Win No Fee is a way for individuals to bring a Personal Injury Claim when they might not ordinarily be in a position to afford a Personal Injury Solicitor.

Traditionally you may have heard that hiring a legal team is expensive.

When an individual suffers a Personal Injury, through no fault of their own, their quality of life, costs, and circumstances can all change.

For example, they may:

  • have medical bills
  • have suffered vehicle damage (car accidents etc.)
  • experience loss of income
  • have greater insurance costs
  • have disabilities (physical and/or psychological) and require long-term care
  • have injuries that require their home or transport etc to be modified

In these instances, legal options might seem out of reach, and fees might prevent a claim from being pursued.

'No Win No fee' is the arrangement that gives the injured individual a better chance of seeking that compensation.

It makes legal services more affordable and a more realistic option.

No Win No Fee - Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does ‘No Win No Fee’ mean?

    No Win No Fee is a payment arrangement between an individual and a Solicitor whereby there are no legal fees payable to the Solicitor in the event that a Personal Injury Claim is unsuccessful.

    Thus the expression ‘No Win No Fee’.

    In the event that a claim is successful and compensation is awarded to an individual, a Solicitor's legal fees form a pre-agreed part of the settlement.

  • How much will a claim cost?

    Where a No Win No Fee arrangement has been entered into, a client is only charged in the event that a claim is successful. In the event of a claim being unsuccessful, there are no legal fees payable to your Solicitor.

  • Is No Win No Fee legal?

    While it is perfectly legal for a Solicitor to act on a No Win No Fee basis, there are strict advertising restrictions in place regarding the use of words or phrases such as "No Win No Fee", "No Foal No Fee", and "Free first consultation" etc. 

    The Solicitor Advertising Regulations 2019 introduced by The Law Society of Ireland apply to all advertisements by Solicitors including 

    • restrictions on content advertising
    • permitted content in advertising
    • permitted media in relation to the content of advertisements

  • How much does my Solicitor get paid in the case of a win?

    In the event of a successful claim, a Solicitor's fees form a pre-agreed part of the compensation. 

    The legal fee payable to your Solicitor will depend on the individual case. Please note a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement. 

     

  • How can I tell if a Personal Injury Solicitor operates on a No Win No Fee basis?

    Most Personal Injury Solicitors operating in Ireland today work on a No Win No Fee basis. However, you should always confirm this with a Solicitor first. 

    Under the Solicitors Advertising Regulations 2019 created by the Law Society of Ireland, a Personal Injury Solicitor is not allowed to advertise the fact that they operate on a No Win No fee basis.

     

  • What does No Foal No Fee mean?

    No Foal, No Fee is essentially the same as No Win No Fee. The phrase was originally used in the equine industry whereby stud fees were waived should a mare not produce a foal. Today, in legal circles, you might often hear of ‘No Win No Fee’ and ‘No Foal No Fee’ as they are essentially the same thing.
