But the upto 25% isn't 25% of the total claim, it's only 25% of certain heads of the claim, it can't I think include future losses etc, it's also i believe limited to 25% of your solicitors fees. So say your claim is 100k, and solicitors fees of 20k, the success fee wouldn't be 25k, it would be 5k, which should in ttheory be covered by the increase in compensation

The summary from the MOJ is:

The maximum payment that the lawyer can recover from the claimant's damages is capped – at 25% of damages (excluding damages for future care and loss) in personal injury cases; at 35% of damages on employment tribunal cases (which has existed since 2010); and at 50% of damages in all other cases.

I am not close enough to the details any more but it appears that only future care/losses are excluded

Of cause a solicitor is free to chose a lower percentage and this can be negotiated
