If you have been injured in an accident that was the fault of another, group or individual, even if they were only partly to blame, then you may have a claim for compensation. We have listed below some common accident types.
If you have been injured in a road accident, whether as a driver, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist, you may have a claim for compensation against the driver responsible or partly responsible for the accident. Vehicle users are required by law to have insurance and the claim is most likely to be dealt with by the responsible driver's insurance company. Even if the responsible driver is not insured, you may still claim against the Motor Insurers Bureau, an organisation established to compensate the injured victims of uninsured and untraced drivers.
If you have been injured in an accident at work or working elsewhere you may have a claim against a group or individual responsible, including your employer. Employers are required by law to have Employer Liability Insurance and the insurance company will deal with your claim for compensation for injury and losses, including loss of earnings. Even if your accident hasn't caused you to take time off work, you can still claim compensation for your physical pain and suffering.
Accidents at work can happen in various ways and even if you think no-one was necessarily to blame, you may have a claim, involving defective equipment or machinery, inadequate training in the use of machinery, lifting heavy objects, using dangerous machinery, damaged or slippery flooring, careless acts by other workers causing an accident, lack of safety clothing etc. Call us for full advice and assistance.
If you have had a fall in a public place such as a supermarket, an office or in the street and this is caused by, for example, a defect or hole in the floor or ground, a wet floor or a protruding object, you may have a claim against the person or group responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the area where it happened.
If you have been injured by a faulty or defective consumer product, health and safety law gives you the legal right to pursue a claim for compensation for those injuries from either the manufacturer or supplier of those goods.
