How We Charge.
There is a perception that lawyers cost a lot of money and that if you use one you will have a large legal bill to pay, and will possibly be left out of pocket. We can’t vouch for other law firms, but this is not the case at Peninsula Personal Injury Lawyers.
We work on a no win, no fee basis. This means on a successful outcome to your claim where you obtain Compensation (or a 'win') the insurer will pay not only the Compensation, but most of your legal costs (Party Party Costs) plus Disbursements (money PPIL has spent on medical reports and evidence to support your claim).
When there is a 'win' you will have to pay the remainder of the legal costs (Solicitor Client Costs) from your Compensation, which is capped at 10% of your Compensation, or the actual Solicitor Client Costs, whichever is less. But never more than 10%.
If there is no offer or you do not receive any Compensation, then there is no 'win'. If this happens, you wont pay any Costs, but you will have to repay us for any Disbursements we have to obtain the evidence, if any. We dont ask you to put any money up front to pay for Disbursements and PPIL funds the Disbursements on your behalf.
If there is a 'win' the insurer will pay back most, if not all, of the Disbursements to PPIL.
There are no hidden costs. We are upfront from the start.
