Serious accidents can have a devastating effect on the injured party and their family, which is why our personal injury solicitors aim to help make the process of claiming as stress free as possible.

We are often asked by clients how much their claims are worth and although we can provide an estimate, it’s very difficult to give a definite answer as every claim is different, with its own set of legal challenges.

The value of a claim depends on a number of factors including the type of accident you have been involved in, the severity of your injuries and how long it takes for you to make a full recovery, if ever.

Compensation awards for personal injury claims are based on a set of national guidelines called the Judicial College Guidelines. These guideline are published for the assessment of general damages in personal injury cases as are used as a guide only, and your case will be considered on its own merit.

The latest set of guidelines (the 15^th edition) were published at the end of 2019.  Some example guideline amounts for injuries associated with serious car accident claims are as follows:

• Asbestos related Mesothelioma – £59,730 to £107,410
• Mild work related asthma – £9,080 to £16,380
• Serious knee injury with long term problems – £20,880 to £34,660
• Leg fractures or soft tissue injury causing some long term problems – £14,320 to £22,130
• Serious back injury causing significant permanent impact – £59,120 to £70,490
• Serious shoulder injuries that cause a weakness of grip or injury that leads to restricted shoulder movement – £8,400 to £12,600
• Serious hand injury with significant loss of use of the hand – £23,110 to £49,350
• Serious neck injury involving fractures or damage to discs – £52,390 to £104,370
• Severe back injury with spinal cord damage – £72,620 to £128,320

The figures quoted here are illustrative and your potential claim may be worth more or less.

In addition to compensation for pain and suffering, the solicitors at Nigel Askew are also able to help you claim for “special damages”, which includes loss of earnings claims. Special damages often make up a large percentage of the total claim value, which can amount to several million pounds.

If you have suffered serious injury as a result of a car accident in Louth and would like claim advice, please call us now on 01507 609027.

In most claims for personal injury, there is a 3 year period in which you are able to make a claim for compensation.  This claim period is different for children.

The 3 year claim window starts from the date of the accident or from the date of a diagnosis, or from the date you first linked your injury with exposure to the cause of your medical condition.

This 3 year claim period is very strict, so we advise all clients not to delay seeking legal advice regarding a claim.

If you are unsure whether you can make a claim, contact our friendly personal injury solicitors for Lincoln today who can advise you whether your personal circumstances allow you to make a claim. Call us on 01507 609027 or submit an enquiry using the online form on this page.

After we have spoken to you and taken details from you relating to your accident, if we believe you have a strong case then we will offer to represent you on a No Win No Fee basis.

This means that you will enter into a Conditional Fee Agreement with us. 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 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.

Our fees are mostly paid by the insurers of the person at fault for your accident.
