Damages

Damages is the legal term for compensation awarded to a successful party in litigation or dispute resolution. Generally, compensation is based on the portion of blame assigned to each individual involved and can involve monetary payments for economic, noneconomic, and punitive damages.

We will evaluate the merits of your case at an early stage. We are very sensitive to the costs associated with litigation and can advise on various funding alternatives that may be available to you to help fight your case. E.g. After the event insurance, Conditional Fee Arrangments and Contingency Fee Arrangements. We also work with barristers who may be happy to take your case on a conditional fee arrangement.

It is not possible to provide a general estimate of costs for these types of applications because of the extent to which they will vary according to the nature and size of the claim involved.

We offer the full range of funding options (other than government funding) to include fixed fees, conditional fee arrangements, after the event insurance and third party funding. We also always provide cost estimates as soon as reasonably practicable and remain within those estimates or, where (for good reason) not possible, agree a revised estimate before the previous one is exceeded. This, together with our regular billing policy and transparency on costs, means you retain a degree of control and certainly over your legal spend.
