FREE INITIAL ADVICE
Andrew Veitch a personal injury lawyer (a partner in a London firm of solicitors in the West End of London W1 - Marylebone) is willing to initially discuss (free of charge) your ability to pursue a personal injury claim / accident claim. Andrew Veitch will also advise you if he is willing to undertake your claim on a no win no fee basis (A Conditional Fee Agreement.) Andrew Veitch will also advise you on alternative methods of funding your personal injury claim, such as before the event insurance (BTE) and after the event insurance (ATE.) If you instruct Andrew Veitch to undertake your personal injury claim your matter will be dealt with by him (a "Grade A" experienced personal injury litigator,) rather than being dealt with by a lowly qualified solicitor, paralegal or even legally unqualified person as can happen with some claim management firms of solicitors.
WHAT DOES "No win No fee" REALLY MEAN?
No win No fee arrangements are technically called "Conditional Fee Agreements (CFA's) and were created by legislation in 1998. This legislation was essentially introduced to replace Legal Aid funding for personal injury claims. Legal Aid has been effectively abolished for all but a few cases of personal injury claim, for example Legal Aid can be available for medical negligence claims in certain circumstances.
The solicitor in agreeing to take on your case under a CFA takes a risk that he will win the case. This is because if your claim does not succeed he will not recover any of his fees. Therefore solicitors are only likely to agree to act on a CFA basis if they believe that you have a very strong case that is likely to succeed. However, even if you have a strong case there is always a risk that the claim does not succeed and the solicitor does not get paid. If your personal injury claim does not succeed and you have followed advice provided by Andrew Veitch you will not be charged any legal fees by Andrew Veitch.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ISSUE A CLAIM AND YOU LOSE?
If you issue a claim at court and then subsequently lose your claim or withdraw your claim you are normally then liable to pay the defendant's legal costs. This is why Andrew Veitch will explain the need to consider the possibility of insuring yourself against losing your claim.
If you think you may have a claim or require further information why not contact Andrew Veitch for a free evaluation of your claim. Andrew Veitch has dealt with claims for the following injuries and accidents: Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) accidents at work / in employment, medical negligence, bike and car accidents, trips slips and falls (on roads, pavements and in shops.)
In order to obtain your free evaluation, in the first instance, I suggest that you e-mail Andrew Veitch with your contact details and a description of how your injury occurred, details of any witnesses that saw the accident and details of the injuries you sustained and any costs incurred or loss of earnings: andrew@guyclapham.com
