Before they will be willing to take on a personal injury claim, a no-win, no-fee lawyer will need to assess the case to make sure there is a valid legal claim and that the case is viable. This does not mean that they need to be confident that the case will definitely succeed, however they do need to be able to make a balanced decision that the case has a reasonable chance of succeeding and that the risks of losing the case are not too large. To do this, a no-win, no-fee lawyer will carry out a risk assessment. During the risk assessment, which shouldn't take too much time if your case is not too complex, the solicitor will look into the case and the evidence to assess the likely chance of winning the case and the seriousness of the risks. A no-win, no-fee lawyer will more often than not ask you to pay a risk-assessment fee before they will be willing to take on your claim. Only after you have paid this fee will they look into your case, performing the risk assessment. And then only after your claim has passed the risk assessment will they ask you to sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) and start your claim. Another common upfront cost is insurance. Most no-win, no-fee lawyers will require you to take out an after-the-event insurance policy. Other possible upfront costs can include court costs, experts’ fees and barristers’ fees.
