Frequently asked questions
Does Quittance offer 100% No Win, No Fee
If your claim is not successful, our No Win, No Fee policy covers 100% of your legal fees. Your solicitor fights your case for you, and only gets paid a success fee if they win your case.
How to choose the best no win no fee personal injury solicitor to handle your claim
Compensation for a personal injury claim can take months, and even years in cases of serious injury, to be settled. The SRA regulates all solicitors, but the quality of service does vary.
Your lawyer should be someone you can trust throughout the claims process to provide both practical guidance and specialist legal advice.
Does the location of the personal injury solicitor matter?
As with many professional services, you do not need to instruct a solicitor near you.
For the majority of claims, the only aspect that does require a local service is the medical exam. This exam provides necessary medical evidence to support your claim, and is carried out in partnership with a member of our national medical network.
Compensation is limited to costs you have had to bear as a result of the injury and by guidelines set out by the Judicial College. Experience can also have an impact on the amount of compensation your solicitor will be able to negotiate. Find out more here.
Once a settlement has been agreed, solicitors working on a no win no fee basis will usually charge a success fee and ATE insurance premium. For example, deductions from a claimant's compensation for a moderate pain disorder could vary between ?17,050 and ?31,130 (based on 2015 market research).
The key issue to be aware of is how much of your compensation will be taken to cover these fees.
