What Is Meant By No Win No Fee?
No Win No Fee agreements allow you to pursue legal representation without having to worry about solicitor fees. This type of arrangement ensures that if your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t be responsible for your solicitor’s fees. This makes obtaining representation accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
Medical negligence occurs when a medical professional, such as a doctor, nurse, or surgeon, provides substandard care that leads to avoidable harm. These types of claims can arise from misdiagnoses, surgical errors, birth injuries, delayed treatment, and more.
Our No Win No Fee solicitors at Medical Negligence Solicitors UK Co have a proven track record of handling claims involving both the NHS and private hospitals. We are here to guide you every step of the way.
How Do Conditional Fee Agreements Work?
A Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) is a type of No Win No Fee arrangement. It is also offered by our solicitors. It outlines the terms between you and your solicitor, ensuring that you only pay for their service fees if your claim is successful.
When you sign a CFA, you agree that your solicitor will represent you without charging you upfront. Instead, they will be paid a success fee if your claim results in compensation. We will explain this in more depth later on.
After the Event (ATE) insurance is often offered to clients to cover additional legal costs in the event of an unsuccessful claim.

If I Win My Medical Negligence Claim, What Percentage Will I Owe My Solicitor?
If you succeed and receive compensation, your solicitor will take a success fee. This fee is a percentage of your compensation and is subject to a legal cap, which is 25% at most. Additionally, you and your solicitor will agree on the percentage that they will take in the event of a successful claim prior to the process starting.
At Medical Negligence Solicitors UK Co, we’re committed to fair, upfront communication about legal costs and our success fee structure. That means no hidden costs and no unexpected fees.
If you have any questions about working with one of our No Win No Fee medical negligence solicitors, you can contact our advisors.
How Do I Pay For My Solicitor If My Claim Is Unsuccessful?
If your claim is not successful, you will not have to pay your solicitor’s service fees. That’s the key benefit of a No Win No Fee agreement — you only pay if your case wins. This removes the financial burden and risk that often prevents people from seeking legal representation when making a compensation claim.
You can pursue a claim with confidence, knowing that you won’t be charged for your solicitor’s time or services if the claim does not succeed.

Are There Any Hidden Charges In No Win No Fee Claims?
One of the biggest concerns clients have is whether there are any hidden costs, but at Medical Negligence Solicitors UK Co, we believe in full transparency. We will always explain your agreement clearly and ensure that you understand all costs involved.
Our expert medical negligence solicitors will detail the terms of the CFA and the ATE policy before you sign anything. There are no hidden charges — just straightforward advice and professional support.

Can I Fund A Medical Negligence Claim In Other Ways?
There may be alternative options available for funding a medical negligence claim, depending on your circumstances. These can include things like legal expenses insurance or public funding for very specific types of cases. However, the availability of these routes can be limited and may involve additional criteria or upfront costs.
For many people, a No Win No Fee agreement remains the most practical and cost-effective option. It removes the stress of upfront solicitor fees and ensures that you only pay for your solicitor’s work if your case is successful. This makes legal representation accessible to a much wider range of people, regardless of financial background.
At Medical Negligence Solicitors UK Co, we believe everyone deserves the chance to pursue justice without financial barriers. Contact us today to learn more about claiming with one of our No Win No Fee solicitors.
