Help with Personal Injury Claims

A personal injury is when a person suffers either a physical or psychological injury due to an accident or medical negligence. You can make a personal injury compensation claim for an injury, disease or condition caused through no fault of your own, either from negligence or the fault of someone else.

There are many different types of personal injury, including (but not limited to) car accidents, accidents at work, slips, trips or falls, assault, industrial diseases, medical and dental negligence. Personal injuries can either be short-term or long-term and it is possible to claim for both. A long-term injury or condition can leave you unable to work and mean that you need long-term medical care, BUT even a short-term injury can cause pain, suffering and a loss of income. If your injury or illness occurs through no fault of your own, you really should be able to claim compensation to help you move on with your life.

Many personal injury claims result from an accident at work. According to recent information released by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), more than 150,000 injuries at work are reported per year in the UK, and over 2 million people currently suffer from ill health as a direct result of their job. Many personal injuries are the result of slips, trips or falls caused by things like trailing cables, wet floors, working at height without proper safety measures, obstacles and damaged flooring. More data from the HSE reveals that around 1000 people suffer broken bones or head injuries from slips, trips or falls at work every month, making them the most common workplace accident. The HSE have even launched a special campaign, the “Shattered Lives Campaign”, to draw attention to the risks of these accidents and to raise employers' awareness, so that measures can be taken to avoid the risk of these accidents at work.

But slips, trips and falls are not the only personal injuries which can be sustained from negligence or someone else's fault, the following types of accident or illness can also be claimed for:-

-- Road traffic accident

-- Motorbike accident

-- Whiplash injury

-- RSI

-- Medical negligence

-- Unclean hospital

-- Birth injury

-- Work accidents – burns, electrocution, deafness etc.

-- Industrial diseases – Asbestosis, cancer, allergies etc.

Many people feel guilty about making a personal injury claim but your claim could prevent other people suffering your fate, lead to improvements and preventative measures being taken, and also give you the chance to recover properly. However, to have a good chance of claiming compensation successfully, you need to use a specialist injury lawyer, someone who knows what they are doing! This is where we can help.
