At NJS Law, we are dedicated to helping individuals who have been injured in animal-related accidents. Whether you have been bitten, attacked, or harmed by an animal, our experienced animal injury solicitors are here to secure the compensation you are entitled to.
No Win No Fee: The law limits our success fee to 25% of the compensation for pain, suffering and loss of amenity and for past financial losses, after any state benefits are repaid. Compensation for future losses is not counted. If you win, our success fee is deducted from your compensation. It is a percentage of our basic charges, and the law limits it as set out above. Any After the Event insurance premium is payable only if you win, and is never charged upfront. Your letter of engagement sets out exactly what you will pay for your type of claim, and we explain it before you sign. If you lose, you pay us nothing. This applies as long as you keep to your responsibilities under the agreement. You may have to pay costs if you end your claim early, fail to beat an offer the other side made, or a court finds your claim dishonest or exaggerated; where we have arranged After the Event insurance, it covers some of these costs if you keep to the policy's terms. See exactly what you pay.
Even the most gentle animals can sometimes display unpredictable behaviour, leading to serious injuries. We build your case with evidence to maximise your compensation.
