Legal Aid
Third Party Accident Scheme (ToPaS)
ToPaS is an official MoD scheme that can be used by all MoD personnel including Civil servants, MoD employees and some contractors when injured by a third party in the course of their duty. All types of accidents are covered including: road traffic accidents, slips, trips falls and assaults. The scheme will be on a conditional fee basis (commonly known as the "no-win, no-fee"). A conditional fee arrangement provides that the claimant's solicitors will pursue a legally sustainable claim against the other party and, if successful, claim their costs plus a success fee from that party, without affecting the amount of compensation paid to the individual and at no cost to the MoD Claims Department.
Although dependants of those mentioned above cannot use the scheme as ToPaS is for ON Duty Accidents, dependants can use the same methods of reporting any type of accident to Betesh Fox Solicitors and receive a "No Expense Service".
