What if I lose my case?
If you lose your case you will not be required to pay our legal costs and we will not be paid as we were acting on a No Win No Fee basis. Assuming you have additionally taken out a policy of insurance this will cover the cost of your own disbursements. The policy is self-insured, and no payment will be required by you.
