Funding and No Win No Fee Arrangements for Your Claim

Financial concerns should never prevent you from pursuing justice after a serious injury abroad. Our No Win No Fee arrangements provide access to expert legal representation without the stress of upfront costs or financial risk. 

What Is a No Win No Fee Arrangement?

A No Win No Fee , or Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), ensures you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful. If you win, a pre-agreed percentage is deducted from your compensation. If the claim is unsuccessful, you pay nothing for our services.

Benefits of No Win No Fee

  • No Financial Risk: No payment required if the claim does not succeed. 
  • Access to Expertise: Receive top-tier representation without initial costs. 
  • Peace of Mind: Our investment in your case reflects our commitment to achieving the best outcome. 

How It Works

  1. Initial Consultation: We assess your case for eligibility. 
  2. Transparent Agreement: Clear terms outlining potential deductions if successful. 
  3. Claim Handling: Comprehensive case management at no upfront cost. 
  4. Outcome: Payment only if compensation is awarded; otherwise, no fees are due. 

Additional Funding Options

We also offer funding through legal expenses insurance, private arrangements, or third-party support for complex cases. 

Words from our clients

I was supported for a compensation claim following an accident I suffered in 2023. I was well attended to at all times with fast responses and support during the final assessment of the compensation claim. Asad Amin was my solicitor and I was very happy with his support and honest timely advice.

Martin Gill

Sana Bibi handled my compensation claim following an accident. She dealt with my case brilliantly – her explanations were clear, her advice sound and the outcome very positive. Her manner was also very sensitive and patient when dealing with me at what was a very stressful time.

Paula Watson

Anthony Gold represented a family member after a terrible accident. We dealt with  Sam David and he was amazing! This was a difficult time for us to deal with and it meant so much to have Sam supporting us right from the beginning. Nothing was too much trouble and he would be happy for us to contact him whenever we needed him. Thanks again for your caring, professional and honest support. It has meant so much to all our family.

Accidents abroad: FAQs

What evidence do I need to provide when filing an accident claim for an injury abroad?

To strengthen your claim for an accident abroad, it’s essential to provide comprehensive evidence. This includes photographs of the accident scene, contact details of any witnesses, medical reports from local healthcare providers, and police or official incident reports. Documentation such as travel itineraries and insurance policies can also support your case. Our team will guide you in gathering and organising the necessary evidence, ensuring no crucial details are overlooked.

What are the main challenges of handling an international accident claim?

Handling an international accident claim presents unique challenges, including navigating different legal systems, language barriers, and variations in local regulations. Coordinating with foreign experts, such as medical professionals and legal contacts, can also add complexity. We have extensive experience in managing these challenges efficiently, leveraging our network of international experts and thorough understanding of cross-border laws to build robust claims and secure the best outcomes for our clients.

What types of funding options are available for clients pursuing accident claims abroad?

Anthony Gold Solicitors offer various funding options to make pursuing your claim as stress-free as possible. Our primary option is the No Win No Fee arrangement, which ensures you don’t pay any legal fees unless your claim is successful. We are committed to finding the most suitable financial arrangement for you.

What if the accident happened in a country with a different legal system – can you still help?

Yes, Anthony Gold Solicitors can assist with claims in countries that have different legal systems. Our team have deep experience handling multijurisdictional cases and understands how to navigate the complexities involved. We work closely with local legal experts and partners to ensure your claim is managed effectively within the applicable legal framework. This approach helps us represent your best interests, no matter where the accident occurred.

Can I claim for an accident abroad if I was partially at fault?

Yes, you may still be able to claim for an accident abroad even if you were partially at fault. In such cases, the compensation awarded may be reduced based on the degree of your responsibility, a concept known as contributory negligence. Our solicitors will thoroughly evaluate the circumstances surrounding your accident to determine how shared liability could affect your claim and will work to ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible.
