Legal Aid

Legal aid is designed to help those who cannot afford legal representation. It is administered by the Legal Services Agency for Northern Ireland (LSANI) and is available for personal injury claims, depending on your financial circumstances and the merits of your case.

• Eligibility: Both your finances and the strength of your case are considered.
• Support: Our team will help you apply for legal aid and explain the process in detail.
• No Upfront Costs: If you qualify, legal aid covers all your legal fees, so you can pursue your claim with confidence.

Contact us to discuss your eligibility and let our solicitors guide you through the application.

After The Event (ATE) Insurance

ATE insurance is another way to protect yourself from legal costs if your claim is unsuccessful. This insurance covers expenses such as expert reports, court fees, and the other side’s legal costs.

• Financial Protection: If your claim does not succeed, you are not left with a bill for legal costs.
• Expert Reports: ATE insurance can fund the cost of medical and expert reports, which are often needed to support your case.
• No Upfront Payment: The insurance premium is only payable if your claim is successful and is settled at the end of your case.

We work with trusted insurers to offer this cover to clients who do not qualify for legal aid, ensuring that everyone has access to justice.
