Your APIL lawyer
will often charge nothing for an initial consultation. At this meeting, you
will find out whether you have a case for compensation and be told if there
will be a cost should you choose to pursue that claim.
There are a number of ways in which legal advice can be funded and your APIL
lawyer will advise you on the most appropriate way for you.

Conditional Fee - Often
referred to as ‘No win – no fee’. This usually means that you need an insurance
policy to cover the costs if you lose your case. Your APIL lawyer
will be able to advise you of the cost of this insurance and whether that cost
can be reclaimed if your case is successful.
Insurance Cover - You may already have insurance whcih covers this type
of claim. Check with your insurance company.
Employee Organisations - If you are a member of a union or other
employee group, contact your local representative, who may be able to fund your
case.
Private Funding - You may wish to pay for any legal costs yourself.
Legal Aid - This is no longer available for most types of personal
injury claim. Your APIL lawyer will be able to advise you if this is so
with your case.

You can only claim compensation when it can be
proved that you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence. If you
think you may have a case for compensation, you should contact an APIL
lawyer who will give you honest and impartial advice.
