Funding your accident claim

There are four main recommended ways to fund your case:

1. Solicitors retained by your union, or professional body of which you are a member.
2. Solicitors paid by 'before the event' legal expenses insurance.
3. Solicitors who offer a 'no-win-no-fee' agreement
   • This is usually backed up with an insurance policy to protect you against liability for your opponent's legal costs (and sometimes your own legal expenses) if you lose your claim.
   • Alternatively, you may enter into a loan agreement to pay for legal out-of-pocket expenses, such as experts' fees. See what if I lose my accident work claim?
4. Pay your way from your own resources.
