Personal Injury Claims

Claiming for a Personal Injury

Personal injury claims covers claims made for any injury which you yourself have sustained whilst at work or out and about, and can also include illnesses caused by outside factors. If you have sustained an injury which wasn’t your fault, whether you slipped on a wet floor in a supermarket, tripped over boxes in a restaurant or injured yourself on unsafe shop fittings, we can help resolve the situation and recover any compensation you are owed as a result of the injury.

It is often the case that your injury occurred because of an outside factor which was the fault of another party. Every supermarket or public place has a responsibility to keep their premises as risk free as possible, and to protect their customers from hazards such as slippery surfaces or sharp edges. Injuries can also occur at work, and taking all reasonable steps to prevent personal workplace accidents is the responsibility of your employer. If your injury was sustained as a result of negligence by another party, our job is to investigate the specifics of your case and work to recover compensation for the inconvenience and suffering caused to you.

Fallen whilst out and about – Don’t worry we can help

If you have tripped, slipped or fallen whilst out and about, don’t worry, we may be able to help you with a claim for Personal Injury! Whether you fell in a supermarket, slipped on a wet floor in a shopping centre or restaurant, or just tripped over a defective pavement we may be able to help you get compensation for the injuries you have sustained.

Every claim has to be assessed by the circumstances of the accident and where it happened. If you fell in a supermarket for instance we will have to show that the supermarket failed to keep you “reasonably safe” whilst on their premises. However if you fell in the Street due to a defective pavement we would have to prove that the Local Authority failed to maintain the pavement in accordance with their obligations. But DON’T WORRY that’s what we are here for. We work on a No Win No Fee Basis if we feel that you will be successful with your claim. We can only advise you on this if you give us a call to discuss it further!

Road Traffic Accidents

Claiming car accident compensation

Road traffic accidents are defined by law as a motorised vehicle colliding with another vehicle, person or object. Many car accidents are caused by reckless and inconsiderate driving, but can also happen because of dangerous road conditions such as potholes or icy weather.

Unfortunately, car accidents can cause serious injuries for the driver and passengers, as well as cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians and all other road users.

If you were involved in a road traffic accident in the last three years that was not your fault and caused you to be injured and suffer financially, then it’s likely we can help you start a claim.
Compensation can help you get back to where you were before your injury. Whether that’s helping you cover the costs of your injury, allowing you to get treatment needed to aid your recovery, or providing you with the funds to adapt your home or car if you’ve suffered from a serious injury.

What’s involved in claiming for a car accident?

The first step is to get in contact with us to find out if you can claim. Typically, we’re able to tell you in one call whether we’re able to help.

If you’re happy to go ahead we will contact the responsible party and speak to them on your behalf – letting them know that you’ll be making a claim for your injuries and damages. We will then begin the process of fully investigating both the circumstances of your accident and the extent of your financial losses.

During your claim, your lawyer will be your point of contact. It’s their job to keep you up-to-date throughout your claim.
