Work accident victims support no win no fee
The no win no fee access to legal representation has come under a lot of scrutiny of late, due to a lot heavily publicised successful fraudulent cases as well as the creative ways lawyers have orchestrated cases completely disregarding the pursuit of justice and embarking on a journey to drain their clients for as much money as possible. The reality is that the number of successful fraudulent claims are considerably low especially when it comes to the work accident sector.
Were it not for the no win no fee, justice would not have been successfully administered in a recent case involving a Newcastle forklift driver. While at work he was seriously injured, leaving him unable to work and provide for his large family that included his 6 children. His injuries sustained at work left him paralysed which will have a huge and lasting impact on his life for he will no doubt have to make adaptations to his home and possibly employ someone to assist him with daily living tasks.
It is important to note that work accident claims are not all about the money, in this particular case the injuries sustained have left the man unable to play with his children in a physically unimpaired way. Surely the success of his work accident compensation claim is enough to silence any negative murmurings aimed at the no win no fee approach to seeking compensation.
