<p data-start="100" data-end="150">Hi everyone,

<p data-start="152" data-end="340">I&rsquo;m looking for some advice about personal injury referral fees and how they work. I&rsquo;ve seen companies like <em data-start="264" data-end="274">claims24 mentioned, but I&rsquo;m not 100% sure what&rsquo;s allowed and what isn&rsquo;t.

<p data-start="342" data-end="367">From what I understand:

<ul data-start="368" data-end="584">
<li data-start="368" data-end="451">
<p data-start="370" data-end="451">Referral fees are when a solicitor pays another party for sending them clients.

</li>
<li data-start="452" data-end="584">
<p data-start="454" data-end="584">There were changes in UK law a few years back that restricted or banned certain types of referral fees in personal injury cases.

</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="586" data-end="605">My questions are:

<ol data-start="606" data-end="864">
<li data-start="606" data-end="678">
<p data-start="609" data-end="678">Are referral fees for personal injury claims still legal in the UK?

</li>
<li data-start="679" data-end="776">
<p data-start="682" data-end="776">If a company like claims24 connects a client with a solicitor, how do they usually get paid?

</li>
<li data-start="777" data-end="864">
<p data-start="780" data-end="864">Are there any risks for the client (e.g., reduced compensation or hidden charges)?

</li>
</ol>
<p data-start="866" data-end="1032">I&rsquo;d really appreciate if anyone here&mdash;especially solicitors, claims handlers, or people who&rsquo;ve gone through this&mdash;could shed some light on how this works in practice.
