    How No Win No Fee Works

    With no win no fee agreements (also known as a Conditional Fee Arrangements, or CFAs), there are no upfront legal fees, which means anyone who has been involved in an accident that wasn’t their fault can gain access to justice without any financial risk. Your solicitor only gets a fee if your claim is successful. If your claim isn't successful, you won’t pay your solicitor any legal fees.

    If your case is successful, typically you will pay 25% (including VAT) of your compensation to your solicitor, although they will discuss any fees before starting your case. To ensure your claim is risk free, your solicitor may take out an insurance policy on your behalf. If you terminate the agreement, you may have to pay fees for the time already spent on your claim, or due to: lack of cooperation, misleading your solicitor, missing medical or expert examinations, or not attending court hearings.

    There are some instances where you are not required to use the services of a claims management company, and are able to claim yourself, for free, directly via the relevant ombudsman/compensation scheme. These include:

    - Criminal injuries: The Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (England, Wales, and Scotland) or the Criminal Injury Compensation Scheme (Northern Ireland)

    - Minor road accidents: The Official Injury Claim Portal

    - Accidents involving uninsured drivers: The Motor Insurers' Bureau

    What is the best way to recover after a head injury?

    Head trauma is one of the most severe types of injury that you can suffer. Head injuries can cause all sorts of problems, from affecting speech and memory to leaving somebody permanently disabled. Thankfully, most people with a head injury go on to make a full recovery. However, this does take time and sometimes complications can occur further down the line, which is why anybody suffering a head injury following an accident that wasn’t their fault should ensure that they make a claim for damages to help cope with the recovery process.

    Getting plenty of rest

    While the recovery process for head injuries will vary from patient to patient, by far the best method of recovering from a head injury is rest. The National Health Service recommends plenty of rest for all people trying to recover from a head injury, which means you need to take things easy. You should not rush back to work. Overdoing it can result in the healing process taking much longer.

    In addition, you could very well make things worse by trying to do too much too soon. Because of this, you may find that your head injury causes financial problems due to loss of earnings, which is why you should speak to a personal injury solicitor who will be able to advise you whether you can claim compensation.

    Undergoing therapy

    Some patients suffering from a head injury require therapy. This can range from speech therapy for severe head injuries to occupational therapy for those struggling with everyday tasks. Because head injuries can impact so heavily on your life, it is only fair that you seek damages from whoever was responsible to compensate you for the many changes that you may have to make in your life, in both the short and long term.

    Receiving support while suffering from a head injury

    If you are recovering from a head injury, you may want to seek support from organisations, such as Headway, who can help you through the recovery process. Sometimes just speaking to people who have experienced the same type of injury as you can help you come to terms with the many changes that you may have to make in your life.
