This means that if your claim is unsuccessful, we will not charge you personally for our legal services. On the successful conclusion of your claim, your legal costs will be met by your opponent in the case, typically an insurance company.

However, there are some rare occasions when your opponent will only be responsible for a proportion of your legal costs (usually a significant amount) and sometimes, we have to deduct a ‘success fee’ which refers to a percentage of compensation that is recovered by you.

Unlike most law firms who take a large deduction from compensation claims – usually 25% - at Bury & Walkers we aim to minimise what we deduct so you receive the bulk of your compensation money.

At Bury & Walkers, we are pleased to say that most of our clients walk away with 100% of their compensation.

When you instruct us, we will assess the merits of your case based on the information available and assess all funding options. Sometimes, we may recommend that you take out an insurance policy, which is a special policy designed to meet the legal costs incurred by your opposing party in defending the claim if you are unsuccessful.

There are no upfront costs, and the cost of the policy is only payable on the successful conclusion of your claim. Premiums can start as low as £140, and we will only recommend a policy is taken out if it is required to support your claim. You will not face any unhidden charges when making your claim.
