If you’ve been injured while serving in the Armed Forces or are a veteran, dealing with a claim shouldn’t add financial stress. That’s where a no win-no fee agreement comes in. It means you pay nothing upfront, nothing if your case isn’t successful, and you only pay if you win. This guide explains how it works, why it matters, and what to expect clearly and simply.
What is a “No Win-No Fee” Agreement?
A no win-no fee agreement, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement, is a legal arrangement between you and your solicitor. If your claim is unsuccessful, you don’t pay legal fees. If it succeeds, we retain a pre-agreed percentage of the compensation we recover for you.
Why Choose This Option for Military Injury Claims?
Military life is already challenging. Facing a serious injury, whether physical or mental, and worrying about paying legal fees shouldn’t add to that burden. A no win, no fee arrangement lets you access expert help with no upfront cost and no risk if your claim doesn’t succeed.
At Ison Harrison, we offer exactly this: if your claim isn’t successful, you pay nothing, so you can focus on recovery, not costs.
How Does It Work in Practice?
- Free, no‑obligation consultation. You discuss your case with a specialist military solicitor, who will discuss with you what happened and your injuries to see if we can assist you.
- Agreement in writing. If your solicitor believes you have a strong case, you sign a conditional fee agreement; if signed remotely you have a 14-day cooling off period.
- Legal work begins. Once all the paperwork is in place, your solicitor gathers evidence, obtains medical reports, and works to prove that negligence caused your injury. In the case of Armed Forces Compensation applications or appeals, you do not need to prove negligence. You pay nothing at this stage.
- Claim outcome
- If the claim fails, you pay absolutely nothing for legal fees as long as you abide by the terms of the agreement.
- If the claim succeeds, the agreed success fee and any insurance costs are taken from your compensation. Insurance costs are optional and will be explained at the outset; again, if your claim fails you do not pay any insurance costs.
What Types of Military Injury Claims Qualify?
No win, no fee funding applies to a wide range of military injuries, including:
- Physical injuries from training accidents, poor equipment or medical errors
- Psychological harm such as PTSD, bullying or sexual assault
- Non‑freezing cold injuries
- Hearing loss
- Failures in the chain of command not following medical orders
- Compensation for loss of earnings/pension/fringe benefits, care and assistance equipment. The list is not limited.
Why It Matters to You
- Zero financial risk from the start
- Access to specialist legal support with experience in military claims and Armed Forces law
- Ease and clarity; you understand costs, timing, and what to expect
- Fairness: if your claim succeeds, your solicitor is paid from that outcome, not from you directly
