No Win No Fee Car Accident Claims

Not everyone who is injured in a car accident is able to make a genuine No Win No Fee Car Accident claim. Some people make the mistake of choosing a company other than 1stClaims. Luckily for you, you have found us at the right time following your car accident. Please let us help you.

With so many accidents for No Win No Fee you would think it would be easy to make a claim if you decide to. However, not all claims companies or solicitors offer a genuine No Win No Fee Accident service. Some will charge you for 'expenses' or 'administration costs', others will come up with some other reason to make you pay a part of your compensation to them to cover their legal fees. 1stClaims charge you nothing and ensure that the specialist accident claim solicitors we refer you to allow you to keep 100% compensatin.

A Genuine No Win No Fee Accident Claim Service And You Keep 100% Of Your Compensation - It Can Only Be 1stClaims!

"I have been totally satisfied with everything you have done and wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend you if a situation arose in future." Mr Pittam

How Most Claims Companies Make Money

Most claims companies make money in two ways, the solicitor will pay them a marketing or referral fee for each client they introduce to them (to cover the costs of advertising, marketing etc) and in addition the company will charge the whiplash claim victim (i.e. you) an administration or handling fee. This is often as much as £500 and will come out of your compensation even though you might believe that signing up for "no win, no fee" claims assistance means that you pay nothing. Whilst this is true if you do not win your claim, if you do win the £500 administration fee becomes payable and is usually deducted from your compensation. On top of this, some solicitors will also take an additional sum from you.

"I'd highly recommend using a company like 1stClaims to find the solicitor with the most experience in dealing with your particular claim - better than sticking a pin under "S" in the phonebook!" - Mrs W, South Wales

How 1stClaims Runs As A Business

1stClaims is run differently from most claims companies. One of our Directors is a former accident claim solicitor so he knows a lot of excellent solicitors who specialist in accident claims. When he stopped practising as a solicitor to run a marketing business for solicitors, these solicitors asked him to help them to reach more clients that needed their expert help. Whilst he was more than happy to do this, what he could not accept having helped accident victims for 14 years whilst practising, was to win compensation for them and then take some of that from the victim. This did not in any way sit comfortably with him.

It took sometime for us to find a way that ensured that the accident claim victim received all of their compensation and 1stClaims could be run as a viable business. Two things have to happen to protect your interest and these are both in place now:

• We only take a payment from the solicitor if your claim is successful, meaning that they do not pay for any claims that cannot proceed (not always the case with other claims companies)
• We charge less per referral than nearly every other claims company
• Our Solicitors agree to ensure that you receive all of your compensation with no deductions

This way ensures that our solicitors can run a sustainable business and means that you are dealt with by legally qualified staff. In other companies, if large referral fees are paid often junior non-qualified legal staff are used to allow the business to be run profitably. It also means that we run 1stClaims with a limited marketing budget and so rely on our clients to spread the word about our excellent service rather than spend huge marketing budgets on television and in the newspapers. 100% of 1stClaims clients have said that they would recommend our service.

"The 1stClaims solicitor was extremely helpful - she guided me in the right direction with the claim and I would definitely recommend 1stClaims. The solicitor was brilliant and thought of things to claim for that I had not even considered."
Mrs D, Essex.
