    Our personal injury areas of expertise

    Grimsby’s docks, food processing plants, warehouses and factories produce some of the most serious personal injury and workplace accidents we see.

    Our expertise covers:

    • Accidents at work: taking on employers whose unsafe systems, inadequate training or dangerous premises caused your injury.

    • Factory accidents: representing production and processing workers injured by machinery, repetitive work and unsafe lines.
    • Forklift accidents: acting for workers struck, crushed or injured by lift trucks in yards, warehouses and loading bays.
    • Slips, trips and falls: holding occupiers and councils responsible for hazards they should have dealt with.
    • Serious injuries: guiding families through brain injury, spinal injury, amputation and fatal accident claims with care and expertise.
    • Car accidents: winning compensation for drivers and passengers injured by careless road users.
    • Military injury claims: claims against the MOD for NFCI, hearing loss, PTSD and injuries sustained in training.
    • Industrial disease: compensation for deafness, vibration damage, dermatitis and other conditions caused by years of exposure at work.
    • Asbestos claims: fighting for people diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis and pleural disease, no matter how long ago the exposure happened.

    Any No Win No Fee solicitor can promise maximum compensation. We prove it. Here are some recent claims won by Nigel Askew Solicitors:

    • A Royal Navy diver developed NFCI after being given inadequate cold weather protection during training, ending his diving career. His claim against the Ministry of Defence settled for £850,000.

    How much do No Win No Fee solicitors charge?

    No Win No Fee solicitors charge a success fee of up to 25% of your compensation, payable only if your claim wins. At Nigel Askew Solicitors, our fee never exceeds the 25% cap, and it is confirmed in writing before your claim begins.

    The table below provides an illustrative example:

    Category Amount
    Compensation awarded £100,000
    Success fee (capped at 25%) £25,000
    You receive £75,000

    The 25% cap applies only to your compensation for pain and suffering and your past financial losses. Compensation for future losses, such as future earnings and care, is fully protected and never reduced by our fee.

    Can I make a No Win No Fee claim?

    Making a No Win No Fee claim depends on three straightforward requirements:

    • You were injured within the last three years
    • The accident or illness was caused by another party’s negligence
    • You suffered physical, psychological or financial harm as a result

    The three-year rule is not always fixed. Here are some exceptions:

    • If you were under 18 when injured, your time limit runs to your 21st birthday
    • Where an illness developed gradually, such as an industrial disease, the clock starts on the date your condition was first linked to its cause.
    • No limitation period applies at all while a person lacks the mental capacity to bring a claim themselves.

    What is a No Win No Fee agreement?

    A No Win No Fee agreement, known legally as a Conditional Fee Agreement or CFA, means your solicitor only gets paid if your claim succeeds. The financial risk of pursuing your claim sits entirely with us, not with you.

    Three features define every agreement we offer:

    • You pay nothing to begin. Your claim starts without any upfront payment, whatever your circumstances.
    • You pay nothing if the claim fails. If your claim is unsuccessful for any reason, whether on liability or medical grounds, you owe us nothing for the work done.
    • A capped fee only when you win. Our success fee is capped at 25% of your compensation and agreed in writing from the outset.

    Importantly, most of our costs are not paid by you at all. They are recovered from the losing party’s insurer, such as your employer’s liability policy or the at-fault driver’s motor insurance.

    How does the No Win No Fee process work?

    From your first call to the day your compensation arrives, your No Win No Fee personal injury claim moves through five stages:

    1. Tell us what happened. One free phone call is all it takes. We listen to your circumstances, ask the right questions and tell you honestly whether your claim can win.
    2. Sign your CFA. Your Conditional Fee Agreement sets out everything in plain English, including our capped success fee, so there are no surprises later.
    3. Leave the hard work to us. Your senior personal injury solicitor gathers the evidence, arranges independent medical assessments and deals directly with the other side’s insurers while you focus on getting better.
    4. When you win. The insurer pays your compensation, our agreed fee comes out of the award, and the bulk of our costs are claimed back from the losing side.
    5. If the claim does not succeed. You walk away owing nothing. The CFA wipes our fees, and the insurance we set up at the start covers the opponent’s costs.

    We give every enquiry an honest assessment. If we do not believe your claim can succeed, we will say so from the very first call.

    Grimsby personal injury solicitors - FAQs

    A personal injury claim usually takes between 9 months and 3 years depending on its complexity. Straightforward claims with admitted liability settle fastest. More serious injuries such as brain injury and industrial disease claims can take years to conclude.

    You cannot claim personal injury compensation if you were entirely at fault, but you can claim if you were only partly to blame. This is called contributory negligence. Your compensation is reduced by your share of responsibility, so being found 30% at fault means receiving 70% of your claim’s full value.

    If you lose your injury claim, you pay nothing. Under your No Win No Fee agreement, our fees are written off completely. Insurance arranged at the start of your injury claim covers the other side’s legal costs, so there is no bill waiting for you if things do not go your way.

    Special damages in personal injury are the financial losses your injury has caused you. They cover items such as lost earnings, reduced future income, medical and physiotherapy costs, and home adaptations. Keep receipts and payslips as evidence, because in serious cases special damages often exceed the value of the injury itself.

    Yes, you can sue your employer for personal injury if their negligence caused your accident. Employers owe you a legal duty to provide safe equipment, training and working conditions. Your compensation is paid by your employer’s compulsory liability insurance, not the business itself, and the law protects you from being dismissed for bringing a genuine claim.

    No, you do not have to travel to our office at any point during your claim. We routinely visit clients at home or in hospital across Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Lincolnshire, and our office in Louth is just 15 miles away if you would prefer to see us. Most of your claim can also be handled by phone and email.

    Yes, you can change personal injury solicitors at any stage of your claim. If you are unhappy with delays, poor communication or the way your case is being run, transferring is straightforward and we handle the process for you. Check your existing agreement first, as your current solicitor may claim costs for work already done.

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

    Car accident personal injury claims take around 9 months when liability is admitted and injuries are minor. Disputed liability, serious injuries or an unclear medical prognosis can extend this to 18 months or more.
