Our Services

The Personal Injury Lawyers is a division of McCowans Solicitors.

The Personal Injury Lawyers offer you, as their client, the following services:

• We will undertake your claim on a NO WIN NO FEE* basis. This means that we will handle your claim on your behalf and we will pay for all outlays involved with pursuing your claim (ie. medical report fees, barrister fees, court filing fees, mediator fees, etc.) but we will not render an account for professional fees or outlays until you have received compensation for your injuries. Under our No Win No Fee scheme, the only circumstances that will give rise to any liability upon you to make payment for professional fees or disbursements in relation to your claim are as follows:
  • Where you achieve a compensation payment for your claim. In such case you are liable to meet our professional fees and the disbursements we have incurred in pursuing your claim on your behalf in accordance with our Conditional Costs Agreement. Our Conditional Costs Agreement will be provided to you in our Initial Claim Pack. If you would like to request our Initial Claim Pack, please submit this Request for Initial Claim Pack.
  • In the event where your case proceeds to trial and you are unsuccessful in achieving an award for damages or costs, then you may be liable to pay the legal costs and disbursements of the party who successfully defended your claim.
• If you do not achieve any compensation payment for your claim then you will not be liable to pay our professional fees or any disbursements we have incurred in pursuing your claim on your behalf.
• We provide you with FREE LEGAL ADVICE* which means we will provide you with a FREE APPRAISAL of your claim in a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION*.
