We understand how life-changing an injury can be—financially, physically, and emotionally. Our expert team offers no win, no fee support to help you access justice without upfront costs. Whether you’ve suffered at work, on the road, or in a public place, we’re here to guide you through every step.
Delivering mainstream legal services in the North East
At DMA Law, we believe everyone deserves access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why our personal injury solicitors work on a no win, no fee basis for most claims.
No win, no fee means you don’t pay any legal fees upfront. If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t owe us anything for our time and legal work. This is done under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).
We arrange After the Event (ATE) insurance to cover disbursements and protect you from costs if the claim is lost.
"I could not have asked for better legal support. Their professionalism, expertise and dedication was hugely appreciated."
With no win no fee injury claims, you can pursue compensation without the financial stress or worry of hidden fees. DMA Law ensures full transparency from day one, so you always know where you stand.
If you have questions about costs, our friendly solicitors are happy to explain everything clearly during your free consultation.
A personal injury claim is a legal process that helps you get compensation if you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault.
You can make a personal injury claim if your injury happened because of someone else’s negligence, meaning they failed in their duty of care to you. This applies to accidents at work, road traffic collisions and slips and trips in public places.
There are two types of compensation you can claim:
General damages – for your pain, suffering, and how the injury has affected your daily life.
Special damages – to recover any financial losses like lost wages, medical bills, travel costs, or the cost of care and assistance.
You slip on a wet floor in a supermarket where no warning signs were displayed. You break your wrist, need time off work, and pay for physio. You can make a personal injury claim to recover lost wages, medical costs, and compensation for the pain.
Most claims must be made within three years of the accident date. This is called the limitation period. There are some exceptions, for example with children or those who lack mental capacity, but it’s always best to get legal advice as soon as possible.
At DMA Law, our personal injury solicitors handle the process from start to finish, on a no win, no fee basis—letting you focus on your recovery while we secure your compensation.

A personal injury solicitor is a legal expert who helps people claim compensation after being injured due to someone else’s negligence. This could be a road traffic accident, workplace incident or any situation where another party is legally at fault. They manage the entire legal process—gathering evidence, negotiating with insurers, organising medical assessments, and representing you in court if needed.
At DMA Law, our personal injury solicitors aim to take the stress away while helping you secure the compensation you rightfully deserve.
In the UK, you generally have three years from the date of your accident to make a personal injury claim. This is known as the “limitation period.” However, there are exceptions.
For example, if the injured person is under 18, the three-year period doesn’t start until their 18th birthday.
It’s always advisable to seek legal advice as soon as possible to avoid missing deadlines.
Compensation varies from case to case and depends on several factors. It covers two main areas: “general damages” for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life, and “special damages” for financial losses like lost earnings, medical expenses, and travel costs.
The more serious and life-changing your injury, the higher the potential payout. Minor injuries can settle for a few hundred pounds, while severe cases can be worth six or seven figures. We’ll give you honest advice about your likely compensation based on similar cases.
The length of your personal injury claim depends on how complex your case is and whether liability is disputed. Straightforward claims, such as minor road accidents where the other party admits fault, can settle in as little as 4-6 months.
More serious injuries, cases involving rehabilitation, or those going to court can take 12-24 months or longer.
At DMA Law, we provide regular updates and aim to resolve claims as quickly and efficiently as possible while securing maximum compensation.
No win, no fee agreements (known legally as Conditional Fee Agreements) mean you don’t pay any upfront legal fees. If your case is unsuccessful, you won’t pay our costs. If you win, a pre-agreed percentage is deducted from your compensation—typically no more than 25%. We also arrange insurance to cover any other costs, so there’s no financial risk to you.
Our no win, no fee injury claims help you access justice without worrying about legal bills.
Most personal injury claims settle out of court, especially when there is clear evidence of negligence. Insurers prefer to settle early to avoid extra costs. However, if your claim is complex, disputed, or the compensation offer is too low, your case might go to court.
Even then, we will guide you through the process, explain everything in plain English, and handle all the legal proceedings. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible while protecting your rights.
