In “No Win No Fee” agreement, the solicitor will represent your case and once the claim is won the solicitor can then get his legal fees from the losing party.

john..... Said,
if you have a no win, no fee legal agreement, there could be still be other costs attached to your personal injury claim. You will still be liable to pay any medical and accident report expenses, court fees and any expert witness expenses. The expenses could be very large and are not covered by a conditional fee arrangement. These expenses can soon add up to quite a large sum and they will not be covered by the arrangement you have with your solicitor.
Before signing any legal agreement with your solicitor ensure that you confirm, point by point, all the possible fees and costs that you may be liable for. Make sure that you check the terms of the contract very carefully as you may also be liable to pay fees if the case is dropped or if you refuse a settlement offer.for more insights please visit : - www.accidentsdirect.com/no-win-no-fee.aspx
