Frequently Asked Questions

What does no win no fee really mean?
If you don't succeed in your claim, you pay nothing.

Will I have to pay a fee if I win my claim?
If your claim is successful and you're awarded damages, the other parties insurance company will normally pay all your solicitor's costs in addition to the damages, which means that you pay nothing. There are some exceptions to this but your solicitor will be able to explain this to you before you start your claim.

How do the National Claims Centre get paid?
We are paid by specialist personal injury solicitors to advertise their compensation claims services to accident victims. This service costs you nothing, and your solicitor does not pass on this cost to you.

Can I claim Compensation if my accident happened some time ago?
If you are over 18 and your accident happened in the UK you have three years in which to lodge your compensation claim in court. If you are under 18, the three year period starts from your 18th birthday.

If my accident happened at work and I make a claim, can they dismiss me?
It is not legally justifiable for your employer to dismiss you for making an accident claim. It could amount to unfair dismissal. Usally your employer's insurance company will pay your compensation, and not your employer.

How do I know if I am eligible to make a compensation claim?
You will be eligible if you have suffered an injury - physical or psychological - which was caused by someone who should have been taking reasonable care for your safety but failed to - for example your employer, a fellow workmate or another road user.

How much compensation will I get for certain injuries?
There is no fixed tariff to how much compensation you will receive. Once we have put you in touch with a local personal injury solicitor, they will be able to give you some guidelines about what you might expect to receive if you win your claim.

Unlike some other companies we do not put examples on our site, as they are misleading.

Will you put me in touch with a local solicitor?
We will usually put you in touch with one of our solicitors nearest to where you live.

How long will a personal injury claim take?
Our specialist compensation solicitors are well aware that it is in everyone's interest to process your claim without delay. Many lower value claims can be settled in a matter of months. Severe injury cases generally take longer. But every case is different.

Will I have to fill out loads of paperwork?
No. Your solicitor should be able to do most of the necessary paperwork for you. You will have to check the details of your claim before it is put forward, but your solicitor can help you with this.

Will I have to go to court?
The vast majority of cases are settled without any need to attend court.

Will people think less of me for claiming?
It's important to remember that accident victims legally deserve to receive proper compensation when they have suffered injury. Claims succeed because someone else has been careless, or has been in breach of a duty. Most insurance companies already charge premiums to cover such incidents. So there is no reason why anyone should expect you to suffer in silence.
