How legal fees are calculated
When it comes to making a claim for compensation, knowing the legal costs associated with bringing a claim forward is very important. Some personal injury lawyers operate on fixed fee and hourly rate basis, meaning legal fees are paid at the ongoing expense of a client, whether the lawyer wins your claim at the end or not. Other personal injury lawyers operate on a No Win No Fee basis, which typically means that the firm’s legal fees are not paid by the client unless the claim resolves successfully at the end of the process.
Shine Lawyers operate on a No Win No Fee basis, which means you don’t have to pay our legal fees at all unless we win your claim at the end.
As part of what is covered in the initial obligation-free first consultation, we can discuss what this means for you and your case and talk through any queries you may have.

How compensation is calculated
Compensation is calculated differently depending on your claim type and the facts of your particular claim. Everyone is different and no two cases are the same, but depending on the nature of your claim, compensation may include:
- Medical or professional expenses
- Financial loss or loss of earnings
- Damage to or loss of property
- Physical or psychological pain and suffering
When compensation gets calculated, in most instances, a monetary value is placed on the gap between your predicted life path before the incident, and your actual life path since the incident.
How legal fees are calculated
Before settlement, we’ll calculate our fees which will include costs for professional services and in certain cases, disbursements. Disbursements cover external expenses including medical reports and court fees. The professional fees are essentially the time required for a lawyer and legal team to work on your case. In so doing, we charge for phone calls, faxes, photocopies, emails, postage and so on.
The whole process is very transparent and we are happy to explain the costs associated with our services and exactly what no win no fee will mean to you.
As part of our service we offer an obligation free first consultation, which means you can get legal information and ideas around cost up front.
