Accident Claims

How the accident claim process works

If you have suffered a personal injury, physically or emotionally, by an accident, through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

Accidents can happen to anyone and at any time, and the pain and suffering can be magnified when you know that your accident was caused by somebody else's negligence and you were not at all to blame. What's worse is that these types if accidents and injuries can have a major impact on your life and even lead to long-term health problems and financial problems.

Common personal injury and accident claims include:-

-- Accidents at work – Industrial accidents are a common occurrence. According to the Health and Safety Executive, 158,000 workplace injuries are reported each year in the UK and 2.2 million people are suffering from ill health as a result of their job. It is an employer's duty to make the workplace as safe as possible for employees and to protect them from harm from accidents at work. However, accidents can and do happen, even in an office environment.

-- Road traffic accidents involving cars or motorcycles – According to DETR, motorcyclists only make up 1% of road users, yet account for around 14% of fatalities and serious injuries, and many of these deaths and injuries are the fault of other road users. Injuries resulting from road traffic accidents can range from whiplash and broken bones all the way to paralysis, brain damage and even death.

-- Industrial diseases – Diseases, conditions and illnesses can sometimes result from an employer's negligence or the workplace environment. These can include asbestosis, cancer, allergies, asthma, chronic bronchitis, radiation, vibration white finger and RSI.

-- Medical negligence – Serious injury can result from medical negligence or unclean hospitals. Common claims include birth injury, wrong site surgery, medical apparatus fault and illnesses resulting form a lack of hygiene.

-- Crime – You can also claim for personal injury or accident compensation if you have been the victim of a crime.

All of these accidents and illnesses can have a major impact on your life and the lives of your families and friends. You may have to have ongoing medical treatment, suffer long-term pain and even lose your job or have to work in a lower paid job. This is hard to bear when you know that it's not your fault.

Most accident claims are successful if it can be shown that someone has been at fault for the accident - for example, a driver not paying due care and attention. In some cases the blame is obvious, but sometimes it may be more difficult. This is when you need our help.
