No Win No Fee Personal Injury Claims in Northern Ireland – Are They Legal?
Delivering The Best Result For Our Clients Within The Quickest Possible Timeframe
No Win No Fee Personal Injury & Medical Negligence Claims in Northern Ireland – Are They Legal?
“No win no fee” agreements, widely advertised in other parts of the UK, are not permitted in Northern Ireland. Solicitors here must follow strict rules set by the Law Society of Northern Ireland, which means these types of funding arrangements cannot be offered. We believe it is important that you know this from the outset, so you can make informed decisions about your case.

We understand the impact an injury can have on your life, your family, and your ability to work. Speak to us for a free, confidential consultation and take the first step towards recovery.
Many people worry about the cost of bringing a personal injury claim. While “no win no fee” arrangements are not permitted here, there are effective ways to fund your case without financial risk. We are committed to making sure you are not exposed to unnecessary costs and that you keep 100% of your compensation.
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.
