Choosing the right solicitor to handle your no win no fee car accident claim is an important decision. If you do not choose carefully, you could end up with a solicitor who has little experience in this type of claim, or could have to pay expensive legal fees. Generally, there are two main ways of making car accident claims.

One way of pursuing compensation after a car accident is to approach a solicitor and pay for their advice. This can mean that you, as claimant, are personally responsible for all fees and costs accrued as your road accident claim moves forward. Solicitors often have an hourly charge for working on your road accident claim. Additionally, things like copies of medical records and other documents that you may need as proof can be expensive for the solicitor to obtain - you will also be responsible for these costs. Asking your solicitor to advise you each time your costs reach a certain level can help you maintain an idea of how much your accident claim is costing. If your claim is successful, often the other side, or his or her insurers, are responsible for paying your solicitor's fees.
Another way to pursue compensation is on a no win no fee basis. No win no fee is sometimes called a conditional fee arrangement or a CFA. The solicitor is only paid if your claim is successful, and will usually recover their payment and fees from the other party. This, therefore, can be a less risky option. Reputable claims companies such as National Accident Helpline, can tell you within minutes whether they can handle your claim on a no win no fee basis.
