Personal Injury Lawyers Gold Coast & Brisbane explain no win no fee & no win no pay legal services.
Often you will hear people trying to remember the term for “no win no fee lawyers” & they will refer to “no win no pay lawyers” or “no win no bill lawyers”, or even, “no win zero fees lawyers”. It is funny to hear of some of the various terminology used & in the end, they will usually Google it !
What’s the Difference between “No Win No Fee” & “No Win No Pay”?
The most commonly used term to describe this legal service is “no win no fee”, but it can be called many things. Basically, there’s no difference between the terms, “no win no fee lawyer”, “no win no pay lawyer”, “no win no bill lawyer” or no win zero fees lawyer” etc.- they are all referring to the same type of service. They are just different ways of referring to lawyers who run legal cases and do not charge their clients until the end of their case & only if the case is successful.
Personal Injury Lawyers Speculating Personal Injury Claims
The “no win no fee” legal service, really began within the area of personal injury law and accident and injury compensation claims. Personal Injury Lawyers recognized that the majority of those injured and who had entitlement to injury compensation, just couldn’t afford to pursue that compensation. They then realized that by deferring legal fees until the end of personal injury claims they could overcome this inequity. Afterall, anyone whose suffered injury, due to the fault of another, should have the right to pursue their legal entitlement to injury compensation, no matter their financial circumstances.
So basically, certain Personal Injury Lawyers made the decision that they would speculate their legal fees, taking the risk that the personal injury claim they agreed to take on upon a no win no fee basis, would be successful and their legal fees would be recovered. This is why personal injury claims run on a no win no fee basis are also often referred to as “speculative personal injury claims”.
No Win No Fee Personal Injury Legal Services Can Vary
Not all No Win No Fee Personal Injury Lawyers provide the same no win no fee legal service. Although the same basic principle will normally apply, there can be variances. Some Personal Injury Law firms won’t pay for outlays during the claim and require payment of these upfront. Others may not speculate outlays involved in the claim & so clients are left out of pocket for these should they lose their case.

How Will the Personal Injury Lawyers Charge You at the End of Your Personal Injury Claim
Secondly, look at the no win no fee service offered. Look at what you will be charged by the personal injury lawyer if you don’t win your case, as well as what you will be charged if you do.

It is interesting to note that Queensland personal injury lawyers, including personal injury lawyers on the Gold Coast and Brisbane personal injury lawyers, cannot, at law, charge a percentage of your injury compensation for their legal fees. They can only charge you for the work they actually are reasonably required to do, to achieve your injury compensation payment.
