    • Whether you were provided with sufficient PPE
    • When your symptoms first started and how the MoD treated them, if at all
    • Whether you are still currently serving in the military, whether you have been downgraded or if you have been discharged on medical grounds
    • How your symptoms are today, how you cope and how your non-freezing cold injury has affected your day to day life.

    If our Lawyers for Non-Freezing Cold Injury believe that your circumstances have good prospects of making a successful claim against the MoD then we will offer to represent you on a No Win No Fee basis and invite you to become a client of Nigel Askew Solicitors.

    How does No Win No Fee work?

    You will probably recognise the term “No Win No Fee”, having seen and heard many TV and radio adverts over the last 20 years, but you may not know how they really work?

    In legal terms, a No Win No Fee Agreement is also regularly referred to as either a “Conditional Fee Agreement” or a “CFA”.  These agreements are commonly used as ways of funding personal injury claims and are between a law firm and a client.

    The nature of these agreements means that law firms take all the financial risk and not the client.  If a claim fails, the law firm is not paid and the client does not have to pay any solicitor’s fees for their time. At the end of a successful claim and only then, are the law firm paid.

    For taking this risk, it is common for law firms to agree with a client that they will be paid a percentage of the client’s compensation award, which is capped at a maximum of 25% of client damages. All other basic fees are paid by the losing party, which in the case of Non-Freezing Cold Injury Claims, is paid by the MoD, not our clients.

    We us No Win No Fee Agreements for all of our military claims.

    To see if you can get your claim up and running today, contact us now by calling 01507 609027 or complete the form on this page and a member of the team will contact you to discuss your claim in more detail.

    Is it worth me claiming? How much compensation could I be due?

    It’s almost impossible for us to give you an exact figure as to how much compensation you will be due as there are several factors that we have to consider in the claims process.  We have however helped some clients to claim over £300,000 for their Non-Freezing Cold Injury claims.

    The value of your claim will depend on a number of factors, including:

    • The severity of your NFCI symptoms
    • Whether you had planned on a long term career in the military and have subsequently been downgraded or medically discharged
    • Your ability to work and earn money in civilian life
    • Whether you ever make a full recovery

    Rest assured, the Non-Freezing Cold Injury Lawyers at Nigel Askew Solicitors have over 20 years of experience in helping our clients win compensation for injuries and medical conditions that they have developed through no fault of their own.

    Non-Freezing Cold Injury Claims our Lawyers have settled

    Our lawyers have helped many serving members and ex-military make claims for non-freezing cold injuries caused by their service.

    • Our lawyers helped a member of the Navy claim over £300,000 in compensation for his non-freezing cold injury. He was not provided with the correct PPE during underwater training exercises and went on to develop a serious NFCI. He was medically discharged from his duties and suffers symptoms to this day.
    • Our lawyers represented a member of the Army and helped him claim over £146,000 for his non-freezing cold injury. He was exposed to extreme conditions during training exercises in the Brecon Beacons and not provided with the correct PPE. He went on to develop a NFCI and was medically discharged from his duties. He suffers from NFCI related symptoms to this day.

    Every claim for a non-freezing cold injury is different and the value of your potential claim could be worth less or considerably more than the examples above.
