Accident claims and personal injury

The New Deal is a unique scheme that we have designed in response to the bad practices employed by accident management companies that have recently attracted so much criticism in the press. For too long claimants have been "ripped off" by unscrupulous and often unqualified claims companies who seek to profit from the misfortunes of others. The Slee Blackwell New Deal is designed to put a stop to this and provide innocent accident victims with a risk-free route to compensation.

We aim to be totally transparent in the way we deal with injury claims and in particular the way we charge for our services and fund your claim. We want you to be able to pursue your claim with complete peace of mind, knowing that whatever the outcome, win or lose, there are no fees to pay.

Your claim will be dealt with on a genuine ‘no win - no fee’ basis. This means that there are no hidden charges and no hidden deductions. If you win your case, you will receive 100% of the compensation paid and we will recover our costs from the other side. If you lose you won't have to pay a penny.

The cost of making a personal injury claim involves not just solicitors fees but also expenses such as medical reports and court fees. Because we fund 100% of your claim we will pay all these expenses for you. We provide this funding free of charge. Unlike other companies we will not ask you to take out a loan to fund these costs and nor will you be expected to pay interest from the compensation you receive.

It is a basic principle of our legal system that the loser pays the winner's costs. It’s therefore very important to have legal expenses insurance when making an accident claim, just in case you lose and ordered by the court to pay the other side’s costs. Many people already have this insurance, but if you don’t there’s no need to worry as we can easily arrange for a policy to be taken out at no cost to you. The insurance is there to pay your opponents costs in the unlikely event that you lose.

Legal expenses insurance can be very expensive, but our reputation means that we have been able to negotiate an excellent deal with a top insurance company so that we can offer our clients full cover.

More importantly, our high success rate means we are confident enough to pay the insurance premium on your behalf as we expect to be able to recover the cost from your opponent at the end of the case. Again, this is done at no cost to you, win or lose.
