In Short
Free Deposit Check is free to you: nothing to pay up front and nothing to pay if your claim loses. If a solicitor takes your claim and wins, their success fee of up to 25% + VAT comes out of your compensation, and they set out every fee in writing before you agree. Some solicitors arrange After-the-Event insurance, and the premium may also come out of your compensation.
Here's What You Get Free Of Charge:
- Full online deposit check and analysis
- Collecting and reviewing your documents
- Preparing your case
- Introducing you to our specialist solicitors
- Telling you if you do not have a claim
