No win, no fee*

Here’s Exactly What That Means.

Most firms explain “No Win, No Fee” and stop there. We think that’s how people end up caught out. Here’s the full picture, upfront.*

If you don’t win, you pay nothing. No solicitor’s fees, no bill, nothing owed.*
If you win, a success fee applies, typically 25% of your compensation, confirmed in writing before you sign anything.*
What most firms don’t lead with: many also deduct an insurance premium on top, often not fully explained until your case settles.*
Faircloughs self-insures. There’s no premium to deduct, full stop.*

Feature	Standard firm	Faircloughs
Success fee*	25%*	25%*
Insurance premium*	Often £500–£1,500+*	£0*
Surprises at settlement	Sometimes	Never

Settlement snapshot

Estimated compensation: £12,000
Success fee (25%)*: −£3,000*
Insurance premium (typical firm)*: £1,200*
Faircloughs insurance premium*: £0*
You keep*: £9,000*

£1,200 more in your pocket. Every time.*

“I just don’t see why I should be out of pocket.”

If you’ve been hurt at work, it’s rarely just about the injury. Most people who come to us are dealing with some mix of:

Losing money while they’re off — SSP, lost earnings, bills that don’t stop
Not knowing whether it was anyone’s fault, or whether they can prove it
Worrying how it looks where they still work
Distrust of “no win no fee” — and no idea what it actually costs*
A feeling that it’s “too much hassle,” or that they’re “making a fuss”

“Am I being greedy?”

Let’s say the thing most people are thinking but don’t say out loud — wanting to sort this out doesn’t make you greedy. You’re not chasing a windfall; you just don’t want to be left worse off for something that wasn’t your fault. That’s fair, and it’s exactly what the system is there for.

“Will this cause a problem where I work?”

This is one of the most common worries people bring us, and it’s completely understandable. A first conversation is confidential and commits you to nothing — it’s simply about understanding your options so you can decide what’s right for you.

“What if I can’t prove it?”

You don’t need to prove anything to talk to us. What you remember, any treatment, witnesses, photos or a report can all help — but working out whether there’s a claim is our job, not yours.

“Is it even worth the hassle?”

The first step isn’t a claim — it’s a short conversation. If it’s not worth pursuing, we’ll tell you honestly, and you’ve lost nothing.

What kind of accident at work was it?

Accidents at work happen in all sorts of ways. If any of these sound like what happened to you, it’s worth a quick, no-pressure conversation:

Slips, trips and falls
Falls from height — ladders, scaffolding, platforms
Lifting, handling or repetitive-strain injuries
Injuries from machinery, tools or equipment
Being struck by a falling or moving object
Inadequate training, or missing/faulty safety equipment (PPE)
Workplace vehicle or forklift accidents
Slips, trips and falls
Falls from height — ladders, scaffolding, platforms
Lifting, handling or repetitive-strain injuries
Injuries from machinery, tools or equipment
Being struck by a falling or moving object
Inadequate training, or missing/faulty safety equipment (PPE)
Workplace vehicle or forklift accidents

And if you’re wondering whether your injury is “too small” to bother with — that’s one of the most common things people ask us. No injury is automatically too small to be worth asking about. If it’s affected you, your work, or left you out of pocket, it’s worth finding out where you stand.

How No Win No Fee works — in plain English, with no hidden costs.*

Most people tell us they don’t feel comfortable with “no win no fee” until someone actually explains it. So here it is, simply:*

Nothing to pay up front, and nothing to pay us if the claim doesn’t succeed.*

No separate insurance premium. Many firms take a separate insurance premium out of your compensation to cover you if the case is lost — we don’t charge you one.*

We explain any deductions and the conditions in plain English before you agree to anything — so there are no surprises later.*

Why injured workers come to us.

No win no fee*

Nothing to pay up front, and nothing to pay us if your claim doesn’t succeed.*

A message from our solicitor

Mark Johnson

After more than 30 years helping people who’ve been injured at work, I know that making a claim isn’t a decision people take lightly. You may be worried about your job, unsure whether what happened was really your employer’s fault, or simply want to know where you stand.

If you do have a claim, my team and I will handle it for you and fight to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Questions people ask us.

What will it cost — and what’s the catch?

On No Win No Fee there’s nothing to pay up front, and we don’t charge a separate insurance premium. We explain the funding, any deductions and the conditions in plain English before you agree to anything.*

Is there a time limit?

There’s generally a three-year time limit for injury claims, so it’s worth getting clarity sooner rather than later.

What if I’ve already left that job?

You may still be able to claim — the conversation is the same.

What if it was partly my fault?

You may still be able to claim in some cases; it’s one of the things a first conversation can help clarify.

How much could my claim be worth?

It depends on your circumstances, so we won’t quote a figure up front — we’ll explain how it’s worked out.

Will my employer have to pay out of their own pocket?

Employers are generally required to hold insurance for exactly this, so a claim is usually handled through that insurance.

Do I have to go to court?

Most claims are settled without a court hearing; we’ll explain what’s involved for your situation.

What happened next.

Real accident-at-work stories from people we’ve helped.

£50,000+

Severe wrist injury from faulty work equipment

Cardboard trays and packing boxes on a warehouse packing bench

What happened

Mrs G was handling products in cardboard trays when one collapsed, causing a severe injury to her left hand and wrist.

How Faircloughs helped

We secured an admission of liability from her employer — who was under a duty to keep her workplace safe and provide equipment fit for purpose — and obtained an expert hand-surgeon’s report to make sure the injury was properly diagnosed and valued, now and for the future.

The result

After protracted negotiations with the defendant’s insurers and solicitors, an award exceeding £50,000 was made — in a case that was far from straightforward.

£40,000

Serious shoulder injury the employer tried to blame on someone else

A refrigerated delivery trailer at an icy loading bay on a frosty morning

What happened

Mr M slipped on ice that had formed at the back of a refrigerated trailer while unloading a delivery, seriously injuring his shoulder. His employer blamed the vehicle’s supplier and denied liability.

How Faircloughs helped

An employer can’t pass on responsibility for the vehicles and equipment it provides — so we brought the other party into the proceedings, arranged an expert engineering inspection of the vehicle, and pursued the case through the courts. The engineer found in our client’s favour.

The result

The insurers were forced to make a very reasonable offer: £40,000, covering pain and suffering together with loss of earnings.

Names have been anonymised and details summarised. Every case turns on its own facts and medical evidence — past outcomes don’t guarantee a similar result.

Don’t leave it too late

There’s a strict 3-year time limit on accident-at-work claims.

Miss it, and the right to claim is usually gone for good — no matter how strong your case is. And every week that passes makes evidence harder to find: witnesses move on, records get deleted, memories fade.

A free, no-obligation conversation today takes minutes — and protects your position while you decide.
