Do I have to pay a fee if I win my claim?
If your claim is successful and you are awarded compensation, the other sides insurance company will normally pay all your costs. This means you pay nothing. There are some exceptions, but we will be able to explain this clearly to you, before your claim starts

What will happen if I lose my claim?
If you lose your claim then you will not be required to pay a penny. This is because all our personal injury cases that are not covered by legal expense insurance are handled on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning that, if you do not win, you do not pay a fee.

What if I have legal expenses insurance?
If you have legal expenses insurance then your claim is covered, should you lose, you still don’t have to pay anything. If you win your claim your legal costs get paid by the other sides insurers.

Do I have to use the solicitors recommended to me by my legal expense insurers?
Absolutely not. You have freedom of choice of your solicitor. Further more, most “recommended/panel solicitors” are only recommended because they pay your legal expense insurer for your claim. The recommendation is not usually based on quality. If you are tempted to use a panel firm, always ask them if they pay for your case. Ringrose Law never pay an insurer to act for a client. It’s also worth remembering that panel solicitors are usually based no-where near Lincolnshire. We have 5 offices across Lincolnshire.

Are Ringrose Law a claims management company?
No. Claims management companies are paid for by no-win-no fee solicitors. They pay claims management companies to advertise their services to accident victims. At Ringrose Law we don’t pay any claims management companies, meaning all our efforts and costs are directed at getting you the best result in your claim.

What is the time limit for making a claim?
The time limit for initiating a claim is usually three years. However, there are a number of exceptions to this, including children under 18 and claimants suffering from mental disability. Also, with some injuries, symptoms can take a long time to develop, such as with work industrial claims/asbestosis claims. In such cases, the time limit runs from when you were first aware of the symptoms. If you are uncertain about whether you are still eligible to make a claim within the three year time limit, call Ringrose Law or fill in our online enquiry form today for free, specialist legal advice with no catches or hidden fees.
