No Win No Fee Claims in Scotland: How It Works
If you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, the thought of legal fees might put you off making a claim. That’s where No Win No Fee comes in — a simple, affordable way to pursue personal injury compensation without the financial risk.
At Make a Claims, we’re here to explain how No Win No Fee claims work in Scotland, and how you can get the support you need with complete peace of mind.
What is a No Win No Fee Claim?
A No Win No Fee claim, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), allows you to make a personal injury claim without paying any upfront legal fees. You only pay a fee if your claim is successful — and this is usually a pre-agreed percentage of your compensation.
If your claim isn’t successful, you won’t have to pay your solicitor’s legal fees.
When Can You Use No Win No Fee in Scotland?
In Scotland, No Win No Fee agreements are commonly used for personal injury claims, including:
- Road traffic accidents
- Accidents at work
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Medical negligence
- Industrial disease and asbestos claims
- Serious injury and fatal accident claims
If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence, a No Win No Fee solicitor can help you claim compensation without any financial risk.
What Does No Win No Fee Cover?
When you make a No Win No Fee claim, your solicitor will handle:
- Gathering evidence
- Organising medical assessments
- Negotiating with insurers
- Representing you in court if needed
If you win your case, your solicitor will take a previously agreed success fee from your final settlement. This means you know exactly what to expect with no hidden costs or surprise charges.
Benefits of No Win No Fee in Scotland

- No financial risk if your claim is unsuccessful

How Long Do You Have to Make a Claim?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of your accident — or from when you first became aware of your injury — to make a personal injury claim in Scotland. There are some exceptions, particularly for children or industrial diseases, so it’s always best to seek advice early.
