Is No Win No Fee Making us More Litigious?

The explosion of No Win No Fee solicitor firms over the past decade or so has, in some cases, been blamed for the fact that our society is becoming increasingly litigious. But is there really any truth in this?

We have all heard of crazy court cases, where people have won vast quantities of compensation for the most bizarre of occurrences. However, the growth in our litigious nature is actually more likely to be down to an influence from across the pond, where our American cousins started winning huge amounts of compensation for the most bizarre and inane of happenings. The No Win No Fee culture may have helped to make such claims more accessible in the first place, but its original aim was far more altruistic, and to this day continues to be far more about allowing people to claim real, honest compensation without fear of ending up out of pocket instead.

Our culture is very influenced by America in almost all things. The idea to pay costs only if compensation was won was not originally aimed at the more bizarre claims made by people and was instead aimed at simply allowing people to take legal action in a way that was not so fraught with worry and uncertainty. A better place to lay blame would be the increasingly popular mid-morning chat shows which extol the bizarre and strange cases that lead to compensation and make such claims not only seem attainable, but also somewhat exciting.

For those wishing to make a personal injury claim, the basis of paying only if you win is likely to be the best one to choose. Such an approach will make a personal injury claim easier and far more likely to yield the right results, and any negative connotations should be left very firmly at the door.
