Understanding No Win No Fee Military Claims
If you have been injured during military service, or you are a veteran living with the effects of a service-related injury, pursuing compensation should not create additional financial pressure. A No Win No Fee military injury claim allows you to seek specialist legal advice without paying any upfront legal fees.
With a No Win No Fee agreement, you pay nothing to start your claim and nothing if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim succeeds, an agreed success fee is deducted from your compensation.
What Is a No Win No Fee Agreement?
A No Win No Fee agreement, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), is a funding arrangement between you and your solicitor.
Under this agreement:
- No upfront legal fees
- No legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful
- An agreed success fee is deducted from compensation if your claim succeeds
This allows serving personnel and veterans to pursue compensation without financial risk.
How Does It Work?
1. Free Initial Consultation
You will speak with a specialist military injury solicitor who will assess your case and explain your options.
2. Agreement in Place
If your claim has reasonable prospects of success, you will be offered a Conditional Fee Agreement. If signed remotely, a 14-day cooling-off period applies.
3. Building Your Claim
Your solicitor will gather evidence, obtain medical reports and investigate the circumstances of your injury.
For Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) claims and appeals, negligence does not need to be proven.
4. Outcome
- If your claim fails, you pay no legal fees, provided you comply with the agreement.
- If your claim succeeds, the agreed success fee and any optional insurance costs are deducted from your compensation.
