    Not sure how the no win no fee's actually get there money . Do they take a % of payout?
    I believe so. That's why they won't take on cases they don't believe they can win.

    I understand that no win = no fee get paid from the insurers of the negligent party if you win. The court will award costs against the negligent and that is what pays them. I do know as well that one of the big ones who advertise on TV do take a percentage as well. So before you instruct one if thats the way you want to go check what they want when you win
