I bet you are all sick and tired of hearing ‘no win no fee’…well after April 1st it will be a phrase of the past.
The government, in their bid to please the ‘oh so poor hard done by insurance companies’ have decided to take away many peoples access to justice, potentially allowing hundreds of employers, business owners and so forth, to enjoy negligent practices, flaunt health and safety regulations and allow people to become injured, without fear of being affected in the only way they will listen to…their pockets!

Unfortunately, heroes suffer injuries too.
In this claim, our client, Mr J, was working as a fire fighter with colleagues and was in the process of cutting a casualty out of a vehicle which had been badly damaged in a road traffic accident.
On a bright Monday morning, in July 2010, Mr J was holding a protection shield over his casualty, so that his colleague could remove the doors and roof of the casualty’s vehicle, in order to remove her safely so that she could receive medical attention.
