In most claims for personal injury where you bring a successful claim for damages the majority of your legal costs and expenses are recovered from the responsible party and/or their insurers. This general rule will also apply to claims against uninsured motorists where they have been identified.


Claims under the MIB Untraced Drivers Agreement are very different. There is no entitlement to the recovery of legal costs apart from a small contribution the MIB will make towards them. Therefore the only way for us to receive payment for our services is through our contingency fee agreement. Here is an example of how that would work:


If your claim succeeds, when you receive your compensation we deduct our fees in a sum equal to 25% of your compensation plus VAT.


If you were to be awarded a compensation payment of £1,000, then after our fees and VAT were taken out, you would receive £706.25.


If you lose the case you do not pay us anything.


We have established and maintain an accounting system and internal controls over those systems to ensure that any client money is kept safe and complies with the Client Account Rules of the Compensation Act 2006.


You have 14 days after signing the contingency fee agreement to change your mind and cancel the agreement. Please let us know if you wish to exercise this option. In doing so you will not be liable to pay any fees.
