    Am I eligible to make a No Win No Fee claim?

    Eligibility for a No Win No Fee claim rests on three straightforward tests:

    • The incident behind your injury happened in the past three years
    • Someone else’s negligence, whether in part or in full, was to blame
    • You can point to real harm, whether physical, psychological or financial

    Gradual conditions are treated differently.

    If your illness developed slowly, perhaps through exposure to noise, asbestos, chemicals or dust, your three years does not begin on the day of exposure. It starts on the day you first realised your symptoms were connected to that exposure, which could be years later.

    Two further exceptions widen who can claim. Anyone injured as a child keeps their right to claim until their 21st birthday. And where someone lacks the mental capacity to bring a claim themselves, no time limit exists at all, until that capacity is regained.

    How much compensation can I claim for a personal injury?

    How much you can claim depends on the severity of your injury, your recovery time and any financial losses you have suffered. Compensation is made up of two parts: general damages and special damages.

    General damages cover your pain, suffering and loss of amenity, valued against the Judicial College Guidelines used by courts across England and Wales. Special damages cover your financial losses, including lost earnings, medical costs and care needs.

    Starting your personal injury claim is simple. Here is what happens from your first call to your final settlement:

    1. Call us for a free assessment. Tell us what happened and we will give you an honest view on whether your claim can succeed.
    2. Your agreement is put in place. We confirm your Conditional Fee Agreement in writing, with our capped success fee explained clearly before you commit.
    3. We build your case. Your senior personal injury solicitor gathers evidence, arranges independent medical reports and deals directly with the other side.
    4. We negotiate your settlement. We push for the full value of your claim, and issue court proceedings if the other side refuses to accept fair responsibility.
    5. You receive your compensation. The agreed fee is deducted and the rest is yours. If your claim fails, you owe us nothing.

    Spalding personal injury solicitors - FAQs

    A personal injury claim typically takes 12 to 18 months to settle, though this varies with the type of case. Road traffic accidents often settle in 4 to 9 months, work accident claims usually take 6 to 12 months, and industrial disease claims commonly run 3 to 4 years due to the medical evidence required.

    You can claim up to three years after an accident, or three years from the date you first linked your injury to its cause. Children have until their 21st birthday, and no time limit applies while someone lacks mental capacity. Leaving it too late will almost certainly see your claim rejected by the court.

    No Win No Fee solicitors take a success fee of up to 25% of your compensation, payable only if your claim wins. At Nigel Askew Solicitors, our fee is capped at 25% and confirmed in writing before your claim begins. Most legal costs are recovered separately from the losing party’s insurer.

    Yes, we offer dedicated support for Polish-speaking clients making personal injury claims. Spalding has one of Lincolnshire’s largest Polish communities, many working in food production and packing roles where workplace accidents are common.

    Yes, you can claim for an accident at work if your employer’s negligence caused your injury. This includes unsafe machinery, inadequate training or a failure to provide proper protective equipment.

    Use our accident at work compensation calculator to get an instant estimate of what your claim could be worth.

    Your employer is responsible for maintaining an accident book and ensuring incidents are properly recorded, but you or a colleague can make the entry. The record should include the date, location, what happened and details of any injury sustained. This entry becomes important evidence if you later need to make a compensation claim.

    Compensation for a back injury at work ranges from around £3,240 for a minor strain to over £212,640 for the most severe cases, based on the current Judicial College Guidelines. The exact amount depends on the severity of the injury, whether it is permanent, and how it affects your ability to work. Special damages for lost earnings are calculated separately and added on top.
