If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault, the idea of pursuing a legal claim might feel overwhelming, especially when financial concerns come into play. At Marley Solicitors, we understand the hesitation many people in Basingstoke experience when considering legal action. That is why we offer No Win No Fee personal injury claims – a practical and risk-free way to get the compensation you deserve.
What is a no win, no fee personal injury claim?
A No Win No Fee agreement, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), allows you to pursue compensation without paying any upfront legal fees. If your claim is unsuccessful, you will not owe your solicitor any legal costs. If your claim is successful, a success fee – agreed upon at the beginning – is deducted from your compensation.
This structure provides peace of mind, making it easier for individuals in Basingstoke to access justice without the burden of financial risk.
