I thought "No win No fee "was exactly that no win and you pay no fees.
But ,if you won then you get all the compensation, ect, and they get all there fees back via the other party and not you.
At least that how i thought it worked
Yep, exactly....daft as it sounds, that what I asked first before we proceeded.
If they think its a case they'll win they take on and recoupe no more than 25% of your compensation.

No win no fee are useless for the most part and be very careful on court fees if it goes that far, I'd first check if you can get legal aid for court fees, even if you can't get legal aid for solicitors fees, you might still get court fees paid, you can check on line, at help with court fees .gov.
After that I would pay for one hours consultation with a legal firm that works that area of law, if they can tell you the relevant laws which you need to use and if it is easy to make the claim yourself, might need another hours fee to draw up paperwork which would be called a letter of claim explaining why you think they are at fault and the laws they are in breach of, and a rough financial amount at the upper end of what is acceptable for the injury.
If they ignore that you would need to go to the money claims online, which is a country court and start you case for a CCJ on the laws you claim the defendant breached in error.
That costs about 500 for a small claims court.
I've spoken too a local legal aid and also union, they say all good so far.
We ran through a letter that has been drafted today and the company has 8 weeks to reply.

I think if you have the proof in writing from the hospital and emails from work etc
then you can afford to wait the 6 months rather than settle now.
remember it would be a full and final settlement figure if you took it now and wouldn’t be allowed to do another claim in the future for this injury if it turned out to be worse than previously thought.
I've got the ball rolling thus morning 😑😑😑
Filled in a 3-4 page document of questions, attached photos, Statements, medical forms I've access to from.my online GP, Hospital Documents and medication, work report.....but as I'm a Contarctor for the Manufacturer it's against them and not my employer.
They said on the phone it can take upto 6 months regardless of blood results, but they are working on the outcome of worst scenario.

I would think the results of the blood tests would be needed first. You could go ahead now and say get X amount for having the needle puncture your hand but if the results come back with something (which I hope they don't of course) then your payout will be considerably more and you probably can't sue them twice for the same thing.
I have to wait 6months between both blood tests (September) for the results. The company I have found take 20% of settlements, i could be compensated £4k+ from them, that's just off a quick phone call, but with Doctors Notes, Statements, Records, and other factors it could be £7k+, but like you say.....is it worth waiting 6 months 🤔

That's the 1.

I had a contract in the past to paint 3 student houses, first thing I would do is have a look behind the cushions of the settees to feel about and you’ll find dosh and pens you get the idea ….that all stopped when I found a used syringe 😳
It was 1 of them 1 in a million things, I was handalling recycable plastic from a dolav into a baler, and it was in the plastic and not in a Sharps bin....
Had to go AnE, Tetnis, Hep B injection, 2 lots bloods taken and anti HIV meds for 30 days, then another Hep B injection each month for next 3 months, 2 more bloods after 6 months then get my results.
There was not 1% wrong on my end and someone in the Factory hasn't followed Sharps procedure.
BIG investigation going on.

I think these solicitors only take on claims they know or pretty much know will win. So if they say no I'd say you've got little chance elsewhere.
I've not started this 1 yet, but at work 3 weeks ago I had a Needle Stick Incident......In a FOOD Manufacturing Site.....hand balling recyclable Plastic waste by hand.
-
Have any you guys had any dealing with Solicitors on a No Win No Fee basis ?
Had an incident at work a few weeks ago and will be putting a claim in.
I've done it once before (about 10yr ago) and it was partly my fault, so it was knocked on the head.

Hi for one reason or another I’ve been out of the fishing game for about 3.5 years and I’d just respooled my reels with gold label pro clear and I think I only fish once b4 stopping and now going to get back into it but was wondering if the line will still be ok as you can’t get hold of the line line anymore and I absolutely love it and have full confidence in it so don’t really want to change, do u think the line will still be ok, the reels have been kept in storage so not in any sunlight thanks
I wouldn't like to say, but I changed mine every year regardless, fishing nearly every weekend....
BUT in the end after ALOT of money spent, Katran Crypton 17,5lb 1000mtr was the line for me.

Brilliant thanks, ive had a play and come up with this,
i used a metal straw and 25lb mono through the middle, it seems to pull the deeper at a good angle where as just the mono would tilt the deeper.
think I'll crimp a key ring loop to the back of the boat for quick change.
might just stick with this if it works, do like saving me a few quid
I wouldn't use mono, need something stiffer like a Wire Trace or even Boom.

How did you attach it at the boat end?
Think im going to do the same but will have to drill a small hole at the back of the boat, unsure how im going to attach the mono though
Made the 2 loops either end, drilled a hole through the hopper (with a small drill bit), just big en enough for the boom to go through, then I passed 1 loop though and then looped 1 loop through the other....
Green loop through the hole, pull the blue loop through the green loop (had the quick change swivel for the deeper) then I attached deeper and off I went, then when finished, removed it then used boat as needed for baiting and dropping rigs.

Ive got a deeper, i just bought a bait boat, im now skint for this month, is there a reason i cant tow the deeper using braid instead of buying a mount?
Just for now of course
I used my Deeper Pro with my Cheaper bait boat, I crimped both ends of about 2ft of 35lb Korda Boom, 1 end had a quick change swivel on to attach to the deeper mount, the other end went through a hole (small) I made in the rear hopper, and I towed it along.

Well done on the catch dude. Nice fish.
I've just started fishing a difficult water that fish don't come out of very often and never had no confidence in them as they were new, maybe I should've given them a fair go 🤷🏽♂️.
Think I'll give them another try when the waters warmed abit more on a few smaller waters.
Know of a few local waters that if I don't get a busy day then they'll be going in the bin
I did go back to the faithfull Sticky Manilla and also sticked up on the Munch Bio Marine for a Park Lake Campaign, but sold all my gear so it never got used.

I like a spinner rig, if they were banned I would probably go Julian cundiff themed multi rig but I would be somewhat disgruntled because spinners work a treat for me if it ain't broke.
Same principle

In a response from a complaint I made they stated they've removed they're products from stores due to problems with out of date products being sold so to combat that they now only sell direct.
I purchased 5kg creme seed with matching wafter and glug but not even had a bite, swapped over bait n had 3 nice fish from a tough venue
53 minutes ago, framey said:Crème seed isn’t that the marzipan one ?
I thought it was
over flavoured
powderyand over priced.
Imagine how much they were making it for if places like fishing republic and angling direct were buying it and always had it on 50% sale.
probably less than a quid a kilo.
I actually did quote well on it to be fair when I tried it, fished a lake close to me that I've never caught from, fished a Pink Cream Seed pop up over crushed boilie, had my 1st ever fish out the lake. (Butnto be honest, never fished it since 🤣🤣)
What reels for 9ft scope
