Using Polesworth Assist and their specialist panel solicitors is the commonsense option. Our solicitors take care of the financial aspects of making a claim and ensure that you are fully protected from any legal fees. 

The no win-no-fee agreement was introduced in 2000; this replaced the Legal Aid system which covered most types of personal injury claims. These agreements are also commonly referred to as Conditional Fee Agreements; they replaced the safety net that Legal Aid gave to the ordinary man and woman on the street but now provide everyone, no matter what their situation or finances, the opportunity to take legal action following a personal injury. 

By putting your compensation claim with a Polesworth Assist Specialist Panel Solicitor on a no win, no fee basis (Conditional Fee Agreement) you can be assured that you will not have to pay a penny and you will receive 100% compensation with no hidden extras if your claim is successful.

At the start of your claim, you will be asked to sign a no win, no fee agreement by our panel solicitor. This means that whether your claim is successful or not, your solicitor will not charge you for their fees. 

The solicitor may recommend in some circumstances that an After the Event Insurance (ATE) is taken out to protect you against any costs or disbursements. In this case the solicitors will advise you if this is necessary and they will take an ATE policy out on your behalf. 

The good news is that you will not have to fund or purchase this as the solicitor will purchase the policy on your behalf. The solicitor will then claim the cost of the ATE policy back off the other party’s insurers, this means that, win or lose, you won’t have to put your hand in your pocket for a single penny.
