Many injured employees delay making a claim because they are worried about legal costs.
It is completely understandable to ask:
“Can I afford to bring a claim?”
“What happens if I lose?”
The good news is that most accident at work claims are handled under a No Win No Fee agreement, known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).
This funding arrangement allows you to pursue compensation without paying upfront legal fees and without taking on financial risk.
At NJS Law, we believe access to justice should not depend on your financial position. A No Win No Fee agreement allows you to protect your legal rights while keeping costs transparent and controlled.
A No Win No Fee agreement (Conditional Fee Agreement) means:
The success fee is agreed with you in advance and is subject to a statutory cap. There are no hidden charges.
This structure ensures that:
We review your case at no cost and advise you on:
If your claim has reasonable prospects, we offer to act under a No Win No Fee agreement.
Before work begins, you will receive:
Everything is explained in straightforward language so you can make an informed decision.
We, then:
We deal directly with the employer’s insurers, so you do not have to.
Most accident at work claims settle without the need for a court hearing.
If settlement is achieved:
If the claim does not succeed, you do not pay our legal fees.
A common concern is:
“What if I lose — will I owe thousands of pounds?”
In most cases:
This structure is specifically designed to protect claimants from financial risk.

Yes. Even if you were partly responsible, you may still receive compensation under contributory negligence principles.
Your compensation may be reduced to reflect your share of responsibility, but you are not automatically prevented from claiming. Employers still have a legal duty to provide a safe working environment.
You can still bring a claim.
While accident book entries are helpful evidence, they are not essential. Medical records, witness statements, CCTV footage and photographs can all support your case.
It is advisable to notify your employer in writing as soon as possible if the incident was not formally recorded.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to start court proceedings. You can read a detailed guide on accident at work time limits and how long you have to claim.
If your injury developed over time (for example, repetitive strain injury), the three year period may begin from the date you became aware that your condition was work-related.
There are exceptions for children and individuals lacking mental capacity.
No. It is unlawful for an employer to dismiss or treat you unfairly for pursuing a legitimate personal injury claim. You can read more about your rights in our guide on being sacked for making an accident at work claim.
If your employer takes adverse action against you because you exercised your legal rights, this may amount to unfair dismissal or victimisation.
Most workplace accident claims are handled by the employer’ liability insurance.
The claim is made against the insurer – not directly against your employer personally. Professional employers understand that insurance exists for this purpose.
