Welcome to the Nigel Askew Solicitors website, we are a firm of specialist military injury compensation solicitors based in Louth, in Lincolnshire.  We have over 20 years of experience in successfully winning our clients compensation resulting from serious personal injury.

We act for military personnel across England & Wales in a range of claims including military related hearing loss, non-freezing cold injury (NFCI) cases, training accidents and military related PTSD. We are able to act for military personnel from the Army, RAF, Navy and all of the Special Forces.

Whatever your circumstances, our highly experienced military injury compensation solicitors can offer you expert legal advice relating to a civil claim for compensation.

Contact us today by calling 01507 609027 or submit an enquiry using the contact form on this page.

From the very first call, our solicitors will aim to make the process of claiming as stress free as possible as we understand that in many situations, you will have already experienced enough pain, stress and suffering as a result of your injury or medical condition.

We offer our military clients a free and no obligation initial phone consultation, during which we will aim to build a picture of your personal circumstances. We will ask you about your injury or illness, your medical and employment history in the military and whether you are still actively serving or if you have been medically discharged from your duties.

If after we have spoken to you, and we have seen your military medical records, we believe your claim has good prospects of success then we will offer you a No Win No Fee Agreement and represent you in your claim.

We do not charge our military clients any up-front fees to get their claims started.

If we believe your claim has good prospects of success then we will offer you a Conditional Fee Agreement. These agreements are 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 all law firms to agree with a client that they will be paid a percentage of their compensation award. We cap this fee at 25%.  All of our other fees are paid by the Ministry of Defence.

To discuss how our military claims are funded in more detail, please contact us today.

Our solicitors are able to advise you on a wide range of military related accidents and medical conditions.

We have years of experience in representing clients in the following types of claims:

• Accidents involving faulty weapons and equipment
• Helicopter and Aircraft Disaster Claims
• Noise Induced Hearing Loss Claims
• Non-freezing Cold Injury Claims (NFCI)
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Claims
• Training Accident Claims

Accidents and injuries caused during military service can often lead to military careers being cut short.

If you have been medically discharged due to a non-fault accident or injury then please call us today to discuss a new claim.

Every claim is different and the value of each claim will depend on the severity of your injuries and whether you have suffered financial loss in the form of lost earnings, the potential of future earnings and lost pension.

For example, our lawyers have helped clients settle noise induced hearing loss cases for sums in excess of £600,000.

We have also helped clients with non-freezing cold injuries claim compensation in excess of £140,000.

The value of your claim may be lower or higher than these figures but if your injury has cut short your military career and your earning capacity in civilian life has been affected, then the value of your claim could be significant.

Contact Nigel Askew Solicitors today for a free and no obligation assessment of your personal circumstances.

The law in England & Wales states that you have 3 years after an accident, or the date of a medical diagnosis or from when you first linked your symptoms to your work in which you can make a claim.

This 3 year limitation period can be complicated with military related cases and we urge you to contact us as soon as possible.

We have over 20 years of experience in personal injury cases and can advise you if your claim falls within this 3 year period.

To discuss a new military enquiry with us, please call our military injury compensation solicitors on 01507 609027 or complete the form on this page and one of our friendly and expert solicitors will call you back to discuss your potential claim.

There are very strict time limits in place when claiming for military related accidents and illnesses, so do not delay.
