Types of Personal Injury Claims We Handle

Our Lincoln personal injury solicitors act for clients across a wide range of accident and injury claims. We regularly advise on and pursue claims, including:

• Accident at work claims
• Slips, trips and falls

No matter the nature or severity of your injury, our personal injury team will assess your circumstances carefully and provide honest advice about your options and the likelihood of success.

No Win No Fee Personal Injury Claims in Lincoln

We believe that your financial situation should never be a barrier to claiming the compensation you are entitled to. For this reason, many of our personal injury claims are handled on a no win, no fee basis, also known as a Conditional Fee Arrangement.

Under a no win no fee agreement, you do not need to pay anything up front to start your claim. You only pay us if we are successful in securing compensation on your behalf. If your claim is successful, our fee will be based on a pre-agreed percentage of the compensation recovered. If we are unable to secure compensation for you, you will not owe us anything.

In some cases, you may also be able to fund your personal injury claim through a pre-existing insurance policy. Many home insurance policies, for example, include legal expenses insurance as an optional extra. It is therefore worth checking with your insurer to see whether this applies to you.

Our Lincoln personal injury solicitors will explain your funding options clearly at the start of your case, ensuring you fully understand the costs involved before proceeding.

How to Make a Personal Injury Claim

We aim to make the personal injury claims process as clear and manageable as possible. When you instruct our personal injury solicitors in Lincoln, we will guide you through every stage of your claim, explaining what to expect and handling the legal work on your behalf.

1. Free initial consultation

Your claim begins with a free, no-obligation consultation with a personal injury lawyer. During this discussion, we will talk through how your injury occurred, the impact it has had on you, and whether you may have grounds for a claim. We will also give an initial indication of potential compensation.

2. Case assessment and evidence gathering

If you decide to proceed, we will carry out a detailed assessment of your case and begin gathering evidence to support your claim. This may include medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and any available digital evidence such as photographs or CCTV footage.

3. Managing your claim and liability

We will formally start your case by submitting a letter of claim to the responsible party and managing all correspondence on your behalf. If liability is admitted or disputed, we will clearly explain what this means and advise you on the most appropriate next steps.

4. Medical assessment and valuation

An independent medical expert will assess your injuries and prepare a report on their severity and long-term impact. Using this report, along with evidence of any financial and personal losses, we will calculate the full value of your claim and prepare a settlement proposal.

5. Settlement or resolution

We will negotiate with the other party to secure fair compensation, keeping you informed throughout. Most claims are resolved through negotiation without the need for court proceedings. If a settlement cannot be reached, we will advise you on your options and represent you robustly if court action is required.

Personal injury FAQs

How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident, or from the date you became aware that your injury was caused by negligence, to make a personal injury claim.

There are important exceptions. For children, the three-year time limit does not begin until their 18th birthday. Different rules may also apply where a person lacks mental capacity. Our injury lawyers in Lincoln can advise you on the time limits that apply to your specific circumstances.

How much compensation could I receive?

The amount of compensation available depends on several factors, including the severity of your injury, the impact on your daily life, and any financial losses you have suffered.

Awards can range from thousands of pounds for minor injuries to higher sums for serious or life-changing injuries. During your claim, our compensation solicitors in Lincoln will provide realistic guidance on the level of compensation you may be entitled to pursue.

What does no win no fee mean?

No win no fee means that you do not pay any legal fees upfront when bringing a personal injury claim. If your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be required to pay our fees.

If your claim is successful, our fees are deducted from your compensation in line with the agreed Conditional Fee Agreement. This arrangement allows you to pursue a claim without financial risk.

How long does a personal injury claim take?

The length of a personal injury claim varies depending on the complexity of the case and whether liability is disputed. Straightforward claims may settle within a few months, while more complex or serious injury cases can take a year or longer to resolve.

Our accident solicitors in Lincoln will keep your case progressing efficiently and provide regular updates so you always know where you stand.
