Since the law changed on 1st April 2013, the government introduced legislation which means that the success fee that lawyers charge (when they win a claim as a reward for the risk of taking on a claim on a "No Win No Fee" basis) can no longer be recovered from your opponent.
The majority of lawyers acting on a 'no win, no fee' NOW CHARGE YOU this success fee. You may have noticed that the adverts for 100% compensation have all but disappeared? This is because most law firms are no longer offeryou 100% compensation but will instead deduct 25% from your compensation for injury and past losses.
Different law firms are charging different rates but it does seem that that many, if not most, have settled on a 25% (Including Vat) deduction from your compensation for injury and past losses. this is generally done by firms to cover what they pay a middle man, claims company or to cover the cost of dealing with more difficult cases.
You should always read the small print to see exactly what deductions are being made by your lawyer.
