If you have had an accident in which your motor vehicle or other vehicle is
damaged but in which you received no injury, we can offer you our “fixed fee
recovery scheme”. The law concerning what is known as “small claims”
does not entitle you to recover any significant legal costs but you will often
need professional advice when deciding how much to accept in respect of
damage to your vehicle and losses associated with the accident other than
personal injury.
If therefore, you sustain damage to your vehicle in an accident in which you
were not injured then we would charge a fixed fee of £350.00 + vat for
dealing with that claim. This would be in addition to any costs we can
recover from the Defendants insurers. However, it is normally the case that
the Defendant insurers will not make any significant contribution to the costs
in what is known as a small claim. Under present rules, small claims and any
claim where the value of the damages for injuries is more than £5,000.00.
Should your vehicle need lengthy repairs or even be deemed a total loss, you
are entitled to loss of use whilst the vehicle is being repaired or whilst you
are waiting to be paid by the insurance company.
This would not include taking legal proceedings if they became necessary.
We would fully advise you if it was appropriate for legal proceedings to be
taken. However, if you then did not wish to proceed, there would be no charge.
We can assure you that 95% or more of small accident claims we deal with
are settled without the need for legal proceedings to be issued.
“NO WIN NO FEE” if you fail to recover any damages then there will be no
fee charged.
