Weight loss injection claim FAQs
We do not charge you anything to check your eligibility or sign up to a claim. The law firms we partner with usually operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning you only pay if the claim is successful. However, fees may apply if you cancel after the cooling-off period or breach your agreement.
If you win, the firm will either take its fees from your compensation payment or recover them from the defendants.
All terms are clearly explained before joining.

Compensation can come in two ways: through a settlement, where the defendant agrees to pay without going to trial, or through damages, which are awarded by the court if the case is won. Compensation is designed to reimburse you for the harm or loss you’ve experienced – whether that’s financial, emotional, or related to your rights as a consumer or employee. Compensation amounts vary depending on the nature of the claim, how many people are involved, and how badly individuals were affected.
If you win your claim, a percentage of your compensation (agreed in advance) will be deducted as a success fee to cover legal costs. All terms are clearly explained before joining. You can find out more in our handy guide.
