Compensation
lawyers have a diverse fee structure and/or tiered commission that
will be taken from your award should your claim be successful. The
no win no fee system is the most common arrangement in use today
that enables anyone to persue a claim without the burden of an advanced
financial outlay. No win no fee lawyers will endeavor to achieve
the highest award possible for the claimant and therefore maximize
their proportionally linked honorarium.
No win no fee lawyers empower people with limited disposable income
to follow up claims that would not have been possible under the
previously used method of a set and at times prepaid hourly fee
structure. No win no fee lawyers and solicitors have in the past
achieved remarkable percentages of successful winning claims, this
is mainly due to the fact that a claim case will only be 'taken
on' if deemed to have at least a fair chance of being awarded compensation.
The first point of contact with your lawyer will be made by phone
to evaluate the validity of your case. The strenght of your claim
will be fully assessed at a preliminary pre-arranged free consultation,
from there on you will be kept in close contact by your appointed
lawyer which will thoroughly examine and prepare your claim.
Most claims for compensation do not end up in court but are settled
'out of court', should you want to maximize your award, you may
be adviced to go to trial in which case your lawyer will be there
to assist you all the way through the court proceedings keeping
you updated with any development and in certain instances recommending
you to accept a settlement before the case is finally adjudicated
by the court.
