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 elbow injuries causing some long term problems could vary between ?12,650 and ?25,850 (based on 2015 market research).

Do you need to select a local solicitor ?

However, you should go with a law firm that provides national medical centres (possibly even home visits) as claimants will be expected to go to a medical exam.
