1. Introduction
Taking legal action against someone, for example if you think they were responsible for injuring you, can be very expensive. With some kinds of case, you can use a system where you have to pay your legal fees only if you win. To do this, you use a 'conditional-fee agreement '. This leaflet explains how these work, and about other ways to fund a legal case.
There is information on:
2. The cost of taking legal action
3. What does ´no-win, no-fee´ mean?
4. How do I know what I will have to pay?
5. How can I make sure I don´t have to pay a big bill if I lose?
6. How does legal-expenses insurance work?
7. Terms used in legal actions
