How long do I have to make a claim?
There are strict time limits in place in which you are able to make a personal injury claim. These time limits are commonly referred to as the “limitation period”.
In the majority of personal injury claims a claimant has 3 years from the date of the accident or medical diagnosis to start a claim, however this claim period differs in cases involving minors and those without the mental capacity to make their own decisions.
We recommend you seek legal advice at the earliest opportunity to ensure your potential claim does not fall outside of this 3 year claim period.
If you are unsure whether you can claim due to a limitation issue, please call our personal injury solicitors for Lincoln on 01507 609027 and we will be happy to offer you the advice you need.
How much does it cost to make a Personal Injury Claim?
Nigel Askew Solicitors does not charge clients any upfront fees to start a claim.
If we believe that your claim has good prospects of success, we will offer to represent you in your claim. To enable us to work on your behalf in your personal injury claim we will ask that you enter into an agreement with us.
We fund all of our personal injury claims using Conditional Fee Agreements. These agreements are also commonly referred to as either a “CFA” or a “No Win No Fee Agreement”.
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. For taking this risk, it is common for law firms to agree with a client that they will be paid a % of the client’s compensation award at the end of a successful claim.
Other fees are mostly paid by the insurers of the negligent party. So for example, if your claim is against your employer then we claim against their employer’s liability insurance for most of our fees or if you were involved in a car accident, then we will claim against the negligent 3rd party’s motor insurance.
