Often clients who consider that they may be able to claim compensation for their losses are concerned about how to fund their case. When the firm is instructed in connection with a potential claim this issue is one of the first to be addressed. Depending upon both the nature of the claim and the clients circumstances a number of options will probably be available. These are always discussed and considered in detail. Bridge McFarland offer ‘no win no fee’ arrangements as well as acting for clients who have the benefit of either legal aid or legal expense insurance

Very often cases of this nature can be settled by negotiation without court proceedings having to be commenced. This is always an attractive option which has more chance of success if cases are handled thoroughly and in accordance with the established pre-action protocols. Bridge McFarland place great emphasis on trying, at least in the first instance, to deal with matters in this way. However, if no fair settlement can be reached a case will be taken to trial if the evidence and expert advice suggests that this is required.
