What is No Win No Fee?
We at Bionic specialise in providing victims of accidents with an easy and straight forward service for bringing a compensation claim against a responsible third party.  What's more we ensure there are no hidden costs to you, the innocent victim, this is typically called No Win No Fee. When you pursue a claim under a No Win No Fee arrangement, if you win your accident claim you will not pay your solicitor a fee.  You may be recommended to take out an insurance policy to cover the other side’s costs and disbursements, as these are not protected should you be unsuccessful.  You may already have 'pre-paid' for such an insurance policy through a variety of sources and we will advise you about how best to utilise the cover as it is your responsibility to ensure costs are kept to a minimum. If you are successful with your claim, the other side will have to pay any compensation ordered to you, this compensation should be free from any deductions as your solicitor's costs and disbursements should be paid by the responsible party.  There are some exceptions to this and our specialist solicitors will explain to you if your claim is likely to fall within one of these categories.  What's more the specialist will explain all the details of the No Win No Fee agreement clearly to you before proceeding with the claim. If you would like more information about No Win No Fee, please use the form to contact us, or call us on 0808 1310 247.

Are there any fees to pay if I win?
If you win your claim then you have nothing to pay to Bionic, your Solicitor will explain if there are likely to be any other charges at the outset of the claims process.

How does Bionic get paid?
If you pursue a claim with Bionics we guarantee that you will not pay us anything regardless of success. Bionics is paid by the specialist solicitors and advisors who handle our clients claims. They will explain this to you when they go through the detail of the No Win No Fee Agreement. The fees we receive help in promoting our specialist services in handling all sorts of claims for compensation and providing you with quick and efficient access to the right solicitor to handle your claim. This cost is not personal to you, and should the claim win this is not deducted from any compensation you receive. If your claim is unsuccessful the solicitor is responsible for all our costs.

Will I receive 100% compensation?
If you win you should receive 100% of the compensation, unless your solicitor has advised you of any additional charges they need to make.  These costs will not be from Bionic, and Bionic will not receive any of the compensation you receive

How long will the case take to settle?
We always try and settle the claims as quick as possible. However, some cases take a lot longer than others. It is best to speak to your solicitor who is better equipped to advise you on the likely duration of the injury you are claiming for.

How much compensation will I receive?
The amount of compensation you will receive depends on the injuries you have suffered. Your solicitor should be able to give you an idea of what you can expect to receive for your injuries.

What happens if I lose my claim?
No fees are charged by Bionic if you lose your claim, hence the term no win, no fee.  Your Solicitor will also not charge you for their services.

Will I have to visit a doctor?
You will need to be seen by a medical professional to assess you injuries and the damage caused.

Will I need to complete lots of paperwork?
Your solicitor should be able to complete most of the paperwork for you on your behalf easing the claims process for you.

Will people think less of me for making a claim?
Remember, you are legally entitled to claim compensation for the injuries and damages suffered.

If I make a claim against work, can they dismiss me for it?
It is not legal for your employer to dismiss you for claiming against injuries suffered at work. In fact, this could lead to a potential claim for unfair dismissal. It is not your employer paying the compensation, it is their insurer.
