Costs & Funding Explained

Success Fees • Shortfalls • ATE Insurance

When you’re recovering from a serious injury, the last thing you should worry about is hidden legal deductions. Many firms take 25–45% of your compensation and then add extra charges at the end. I don’t work that way.

My approach is simple: You keep 100% of your compensation. I recover my fees separately. No hidden deductions. No surprises.

This page explains exactly how your funding works, how other firms structure their costs, and how I protect your award from unnecessary reductions.

Why Your Compensation Must Stay Intact

Serious injuries often require:

home adaptations
mobility aids
specialist equipment
long‑term care
ongoing therapy
future financial security

Your compensation is designed to fund these needs — not to cover your solicitor’s profit margin. That’s why I work with 0% success fees and no shortfalls.

How My Fees Are Paid

In catastrophic injury cases, I recover my legal costs directly from the defendant’s insurer. This means:

your compensation is untouched
your rehabilitation budget stays whole
your long‑term needs are fully protected
you never pay my fees from your damages

The only potential deduction is the ATE insurance premium, and only if you win.

ATE Insurance (After‑the‑Event Cover)

ATE protects you from financial risk.
For claims over £500,000, the premium is:
£5,499 or
£7,499 plus 12% IPT
This is:

only paid at the end
only paid if you win
not payable if the case fails

ATE ensures you are protected throughout the claim.

Exemptions

There are only two situations where deductions may apply:
1. MIB Untraced Driver Claims
The MIB rules require a 25% deduction because they do not provide fee recovery.
2. Failure to Cooperate
Standard CFA terms allow deductions if a client does not cooperate — rare, but required legally.
Everything else is covered by the defendant.

Understanding Hidden Shortfalls (What Other Firms Don’t Tell You)

Many firms advertise “25% success fee”… but still take more.
Common hidden deductions include:
Shortfalls
Charging you the difference between their hourly rate and what the insurer pays.
Liability Deductions
If you are found partly at fault, your compensation is reduced — but many firms still take their full fee from the smaller amount.
Administrative Charges
File opening fees, payment processing fees, “office overheads”.
Success Fees up to 45%
Especially in high‑value cases.
These deductions can remove tens or hundreds of thousands from your award.
My difference: I charge 0% success fee and no shortfalls. Your compensation stays with you.

Your Benefits

Keep 100% of Your Compensation
No success fee. No shortfall. No hidden deductions.
Financial Security for Life
Your award stays intact for home changes, care, therapy, and future needs.
No Risk if the Case Fails
ATE covers adverse costs. You pay nothing if the claim is unsuccessful.
Absolute Transparency
Clear terms. No surprises. No last‑minute deductions.

How My Funding Model Works

STEP 01 — Initial Consultation
We discuss your injury, your needs, and whether the 0% model is right for your case.
STEP 02 — Building Your Case
I gather evidence, instruct experts, and manage rehabilitation. My fees are tracked — but never taken from your damages.
STEP 03 — Settlement
You receive 100% of your award. I recover my costs separately from the insurer.

Interim Payments & Long‑Term Protection

I prioritise:

early interim payments
private rehabilitation
specialist equipment
home adaptations
care packages

By removing deductions, I protect your financial future from day one.

Why Other Lawyers Charge So Much

Most firms rely on success fees because:

serious injury work is complex
expert evidence is expensive
cases take years
they operate high‑cost business models

But none of this justifies taking money meant for your recovery.
My approach is different: I protect your compensation, not my profit margin.

Why I don't charge a success fee

In serious injury cases, the compensation you receive is often fundamental to your long-term quality of life. I believe that every penny of the damages awarded for your needs should be kept by you, which is why I challenge the standard industry practice of success fee deductions.

The industry standard vs. my approach

Standard Practice: Most personal injury firms charge a success fee of up to 25% of your compensation for pain, suffering, and past losses.
My Approach: For serious injury cases, I do not charge a success fee. I recover my legal costs directly from the insurer or defendant.
The Goal: 100% of your award stays with you to fund your home modifications, ongoing medical care, and lifelong assistance.

Interim payments and long-term security

My work isn't just about the final settlement. I prioritize securing interim payments to cover immediate rehabilitation and support needs. By ensuring we avoid any deductions at the end, I protect your financial security from the very start of our relationship through to the conclusion of your claim.

I am committed to absolute transparency. My zero success fee model is designed to ensure your recovery and future path are never compromised by unnecessary legal costs.
