When you win a compensation case do they pay for your lawyer fees?

In short yes. Providing you have signed a 'no win no fee' agreement with your solicitors. Be careful as there is no standard no win no fee agreement, the terms can change depending on your solicitor. Most compensation firms do not charge you if a claim is unsuccessful, however if your claim is successful, some of your damages may be retained for part payment towards the cost of dealing with your claim. Be sure to ask questions and read the small print of any no win no fee agreement before signing and make sure your solicitor operates a 100% compensation scheme so you will keep all of your compensation awarded.

What To Expect From Lawyer Fees?
If you need to find representation in a court of law, it will not be cheap. Lawyer fees can be very expensive; the nice thing is that they will often have to be paid by your opponent. If you win your case, you can just sue for the lawyer fees on the grounds that you were in the right the whole time and would not have had to go to court had it not been for the other person. This is a huge benefit to you. However, you should have an idea what lawyers charge for so that you can be ready for what the fees will be. First, lawyer fees are accumulated in court. The lawyer will be there to represent you. They will lay down the arguments and speak on your behalf. There may be times when you are allowed to speak, but the majority of this work will be done by the lawyer. These fees could vary quite a bit since the trial could be fairly clear-cut and quick or confusing and long. It all depends how the evidence lines up. However, this is the main service that you are paying for, the main way that the lawyer will help you with your case. Next, lawyer fees can be incurred for your meetings with the lawyer outside of the courtroom. You will need to get together with them to work out the details of the case. You and the lawyer will have to take some time to sit down and talk through your side of the story -- even if you are guilty of the accusations, they need to know this so that they know how to defend you. You will need to come up with a strategy and work on ironing it out. Depending on how complicated the case is, this could take a lot of time. Finally, lawyer fees could even be accumulated when you are not with the lawyer. He or she will have to do a certain amount of work alone -- making phone calls, reading cases, doing research, and that sort of thing. All of this time will be well documented by the lawyer. You will have to take a look at the time they spent and then pay them the regular hourly rate for this as well. Again, all of these fees can often be charged to the person you are facing in court.
