No win, No fee, injury compensation

[Miss Pink23]

I was wondering if anyne has used one of these companies to claim compensation for an accident/injury and if so how much did you get???

I am in the process of a claim over an ankle injury from a previous workplace and was wondering how much I am likely to receive!!!!

yes i have- kind of! I went through a local solicitor who does no win no fee, as it was for my Grandad, and it was far easier for the solicitor to go out to see him at home (particularly with his injuries) and discuss things there.
He fell on some really awful paving, and broke his arm, very badly, hospital missed the break so it was too late to operate on it etc
They were very good, very thorough, but sadly my Grandad passed away in the middle of it all.
Unfortunately the solicitors decided to settle the claim without letting my Nan know, first she heard was when a cheque arrived, and being recently bereaved none of us had the fight in us to persue anything.
So I would say choose your solicitor carefully, familiarise yourself with their terms (ie, ours added their fees on top, they weren't taken from the settlement) and be very vigilant with any decisions!
I think my Nan got about £3-£4k for my Grandads claim. It really does vary a lot, and also on who you are claiming against.
hth and good luck

I think it would be quite hard to say how much you would get chick.
Each case is individual and the amount you could recieve is based on many factors relating to your injury.
Pain & sufering
loss of earnings
Injury caused
What one person will get for an injury could be very much different for another with the same injury.

An example would be 2 people i know who broke their legs in very similar circumstances, one person got 4K+ and the other only got just over 2k

If you have already assigned a injury lawyer to your case then they should be able to give you a rough idea based on other claims they have dealt with HTH
