Personal Injury · No Win No Fee
Access Expert Legal Representation Without Financial Risk
No upfront costs. You only pay if your claim wins.
PDA Law handles personal injury and tenant deposit claims on a no win no fee basis — meaning you can access expert legal representation without any financial risk.
What “no win no fee” means for you:
- Pay nothing upfront — zero costs to start your claim
- Pay nothing if your claim is unsuccessful
- If you win: success fee deducted from compensation (capped at 25%)
- ATE insurance arranged to protect you against the other side's costs
We will assess your case honestly and only take it on if we believe you have a realistic prospect of success. If we don't think your claim will succeed, we'll tell you.
No obligation — free initial assessment of your claim.
How no win no fee works
A Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) — commonly known as no win no fee — means your solicitor's fees are only payable if your claim succeeds. If it doesn't, you pay nothing.
Free initial assessment
We assess your claim at no cost. We'll give you an honest view of your prospects and explain whether a no win no fee agreement is appropriate for your case.
Conditional Fee Agreement signed
If we take on your case, we enter into a CFA. This sets out the success fee (capped at 25% of your damages) and the terms of our agreement.
ATE insurance arranged
We arrange after the event insurance to protect you against the other side's costs if your claim is unsuccessful. The premium is only payable on success.
Claim pursued — you pay nothing unless you win
We pursue your claim. If successful, the success fee and ATE premium are deducted from your compensation. If unsuccessful, you pay nothing.
Important exceptions
- If you refuse to take out an ATE insurance policy, you may be required to pay for disbursements such as medical reports and scans, even if the claim is unsuccessful.
- If you are found to be fundamentally dishonest — for example, if you have not been truthful about your injury or financial losses — you could lose your entire claim and be required to pay both the defendant's legal costs and our legal costs.
What types of claims are covered?
Any type of personal injury claim can be dealt with under a no win, no fee agreement, including:
Road Traffic Accidents
Serious injuries sustained in road traffic accidents — as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian.
Accidents at Work
Injuries sustained in the workplace due to employer negligence or unsafe working conditions.
Brain Injury Claims
Serious brain injuries requiring specialist legal support and long-term compensation planning.
Serious Personal Injury
Spinal injuries, amputations, fatal accidents, and other life-changing serious injury claims.
Military Claims

Tenant Deposit Claims
Tenancy deposit compensation claims where a landlord has failed to protect your deposit.
What happens if I lose my case?
In order to protect you against the risk of the defendant's legal costs if your claim loses, we take out an after the event insurance policy. We never ask you to pay for this premium at the beginning of your claim.
We take it out on your behalf and you only pay the premium if your claim is successful — and even then it is simply deducted from your compensation after the contribution towards legal costs has been deducted. The cost of any premium would be discussed with you prior to it being taken out.
