The following true story should make you think, the purpose of which, is to educate the audience, who I’m hoping will pass on this message to whom It may concern.

The topic is "no win no fee" and believe it or not, but there’s a 40% possibility that you will be in the instance of needing to use it, or miss out on it! For years many people must have heard it through their television set but due to the repetitiveness of the word in nearly every advert regarding the word "no win no fee" I am very sure it’s lost all its definition to the Television viewers .

The following story is about how a man I know, who suffered from medical negligence and attempted to sue the NHS. He had his own lawyer whom he decided to use, but this worked against him as he lost the case and was forced to pay the solicitors fee which came to a total of £1,500. A bit of bad luck as well as some bad representation played a part in this, the lawyer must have had an off day. Even though this won’t save you a penny when your bill arrives, as you get billed for the effort and not the result.

However the real hard luck wasn’t because he lost the case, it was also due to how he paid the lawyer! Your probably thinking " excuse me, you’re supposed to pay lawyers, they don’t work for free" Well here’s the thing, it wasn’t the same twenty years back . Governments have changed as well as the policies, I’m not in any way implying that lawyers are worthless and deserve no pay, merely pointing out that there are ways around it whereby clients get free representation from lawyers who still get paid.

So how can this be? Well its simple , they call it the "no win no fee" term, and here's what makes it tick. Clients get represented by lawyers without paying a dime for the representation weather they win or lose the case. This works because they solicitors bill the insurance of the company getting sued, and they charge more than enough to be happy with the overall amount they receive.

So if you do decide to file a lawsuit, remember to claim for free with "no win no fee"!
