Worried that making a legal claim for an overseas resort injury will cost too much? You’re not alone — many travellers hesitate to pursue compensation because of fear around legal fees. The good news? At Carter Capner Law, we handle most overseas resort injury claims on a No Win, No Fee basis. This article explains exactly what that means — and what costs you can expect.

What Legal Costs Are Involved in a Resort Injury Claim?

A typical overseas resort injury claim may include the following types of costs:

• Professional legal fees: The cost of your lawyer’s time, advice, and negotiations.
• Disbursements: Third-party expenses such as court filing fees, medical specialist reports, or expert assessments.
• Barrister fees: If your claim progresses to a complex stage or requires formal legal opinion.
• Settlement administration: The legal process of finalising and distributing your compensation.

Most of these are only payable at the end of a successful claim — and many are covered upfront by our firm.

Understanding “No Win, No Fee” Agreements

Our No Win, No Fee policy means:

• You pay nothing upfront
• If your claim is unsuccessful, you don’t pay any legal fees
• We carry the financial risk of disbursements until the claim is resolved

This approach ensures that access to justice isn’t limited to those who can afford to fund legal action upfront.

Checklist: What Costs We Cover During Your Claim

What Happens at Settlement?

Once your claim is successfully resolved:

• Our legal fees are calculated and clearly itemised
• Disbursements we’ve paid during the claim are reimbursed
• You receive the remainder as a net payment to your bank account

You’ll receive a full cost summary in writing — no hidden charges, no surprise deductions. Our focus is transparency and fairness from start to finish.

FAQs – Costs and Fees for Resort Injury Claims

Is the initial consultation really free?
Yes. We’ll review your situation, give you a claim opinion, and explain your rights at no cost.

What if I withdraw my claim later?
If you withdraw after formal documents are lodged, some costs may apply — but we’ll always explain that in advance and limit your risk wherever possible.

What if the insurer offers me a small payout early?
Speak to us first. Many early offers are much lower than what you’re legally entitled to — especially if they don’t account for pain, lost income, or future treatment.

You Can Claim Without Financial Risk

The idea that legal action is expensive stops many people from claiming what they deserve. But with a No Win, No Fee agreement and upfront cost protection, there’s no reason to let a resort injury go unanswered.
