Claims pursued at no financial risk to you

With any claim in England and Wales, the losing party is generally required to pay the winning party's legal fees.  At Quality Solicitors Jackson and Canter we take this issue very seriously. 

If you have been injured through no fault of your own then you should be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries and losses at no cost and no financial risk to yourself. 

We remove the worry of having to pay your opponent's legal fees in the event that your claim does not succeed by carefully assessing and advising you at the outset on the prospects of succeeding with your claim. 

However, there are no guarantees of success and even the strongest claim can suffer from setbacks as your claim progresses and evidence is obtained. 

Accordingly to ensure against this we will consider acting for you under a "No Win, No Fee" Conditional fee Agreement ("CFA") backed by a policy of Insurance. 

Conditional Fee Agreement

This is an agreement between you and Jackson & Canter that we will not charge you for the work we do on your behalf in the event that your claim does not succeed. We are therefore taking the risk on your behalf. Accordingly we are entitled to claim from your opponent a ‘success fee’ percentage uplift of our costs in the event that your claim succeeds.  There are no deductions from your damages.

Insurance

In accordance with the CFA, we will not charge you for the cost of work we have done on your behalf if your claim does not succeed.  However, you may be exposed to having to pay your opponent’s legal fees.

Accordingly, you may already have a policy of Legal Expenses Insurance (“LEI”) attached to a policy of motor, home or other insurance which will protect you in those circumstances. If not, then we can arrange for a policy of After the Event (“ATE”) insurance be taken out on your behalf.

The combination of the Conditional Fee Agreement and Legal Expenses Insurance policy means that you will not have to pay anything should your claim win or lose.
