Does this mean that if you win you have to pay a huge fee? If so, is there anything to stop you having to pay more than you win i.e. end up in negative figures?

I had an accident while driving a company pool van (my fault) the damaged was payed for by the companies car insurance. Does this affect my personal no claims bonus.
Does anyone know of any no win no fee lawyers shipping matters. Which does not mean shipping injury lawyers I have been looking on the net with no hope please help.
Two cars hit each other and one of the cars went on to hit me while i was stopped at a red light. Each of the drivers’ insurance companies refuses to accept responsibility for the initial accident. I didn’t have insurance at the time. There was no personal injury, just about $1,500 damage to my car. It has been 3 months and still no resolution. It looks like small claims court would be the fastest way to go about it. Do I sue both drivers or just the one who hit me? Do I send the paperwork to the drivers individually or to their insurance companies? Are the insurance companies obligated to give me the drivers contact info? What will the judge be looking for me to demonstrate in court? How many estimates do I need? In addition to the actual damage to the car, am I entitled to supplemental damage, inconvienience costs, rental car cost, etc. If it gets this far, I want to take them to cleaners. Any other helpful info would be appreciated.

The number of personal injury claims filed in the High Court jumped 32% between 2006 and 2008, research has found.
Claims relating to personal injury jumped 31.8% from 914 in 2006 to 1,205 in 2008, according to a study of the latest available figures by legal information provider Sweet & Maxwell.
The rise comes despite attempts to reduce personal injury claims under the Compensation Act 2006, which imposed registration requirements on claims management companies and created the Ministry of Justice’s claims management regulator.
Citing anecdotal evidence from law firms and insurers, Sweet & Maxwell suggested that the recession is behind the rise in personal injury claims, with individuals claiming because they were under financial stress. At the same time, insurers suffering from weak investment returns were more willing to contest claims, Sweet & Maxwell suggested.
The future for the conveyancing market in England and Wales lies in partnerships between solicitors and estate agents to provide a one-stop shop for sellers, the new president of the E-Homebuying Forum has told the Gazette.
Sir Bryan Carsberg, who is also a former director of the Office of Fair Trading, said he would like to see solicitors and estate working together, as they do in Scotland.
Carsberg said he would also like to see estate agents regulated, so that customers know what standards to expect and have some form of redress when things go wrong.
Carsberg said: ‘The Scottish system, where solicitors employ estate agents, works well.’ He added that customers would benefit from a one-stop shop if solicitors in England and Wales went into partnership with estate agents and others involved in the conveyancing process.
‘When you see the links that some solicitors and estate agents already have, multi-disciplinary partnerships are surely the next step? They are coming, but they are taking their time,’ he said.
Carsberg said: ‘With the current arrangements, there’s a feeling that estate agents and solicitors are wary of each other. If they were working in the same firm they would be pulling in the same direction.’
He predicted solicitors would play a ‘big part in a new vigorous and competitive market’, and suggested preliminary and binding contracts between vendors and purchasers could be entered into at the offer and acceptance stage, which lawyers would be at the centre of.
Law Society property spokesman Paul Marsh said: ‘I’d like to see solicitors taking advantage of all the opportunities open over the next two or three years to be able to sell property and give clients a one-stop shop.’
But he said the only way that will be achieved is for there to be the same degree of regulation for estate agents as there is for solicitors, which ‘means estate agents have to be regulated’.
Richard Barnett, chairman of the Law Society’s conveyancing and land law committee and senior partner at volume conveyancing firm Barnetts, said: ‘A one-stop shop is a great idea. That’s what we already do, working in partnership with estate agents. The Legal Services Act will make the arrangements much easier.’
Marketing director at MDA SearchFlow David Kempster said: ‘Alternative business structures represent significant threats or opportunities, depending on the appetite to be reactive or proactive.’
‘Online connected processes, including streamlined data and document management, will be key to protecting margins, and onward survival. An ABS structure, together with access to venture capital and a hybrid of skills in a group within the ABS, could form a potent mix, delivering local expertise to counter the national brand assault,’ he said.
