Claims for compensation

Claims for compensation

At The Injury Lawyers one of the questions which we hear most frequently is ‘Have I got a claim for compensation?’ Now if someone calls The Injury Lawyers (and this can be anytime from 9am – 10 pm) with a potential claim, we have experienced staff on hand to explain there and then whether they have a claim.  Not only can they explain there and then, but this advice is also free of charge whether you have a claim or not.  So you have nothing to lose by asking.

We deal with a vast amount of different types of personal injury – there are many different situations which can cause someone to have an accident which was not their fault. I will list some of the sorts of claims which we deal with here at The Injury Lawyers most frequently:

1. Road Traffic accidents – these are extremely common types of claims and include any type of vehicle whether you were in a car, on a motor bike or on a bus – with the main issue is that it was not your fault.  If the other driver is not insured or is untraceable you may still be able to claim for compensation from the Motor Insurer’s Bureau. 
2. Clinical negligence – if you feel that you have not received adequate care from a clinical professional and it has lead you to suffer in some way then you may have a claim. This can include care whilst in hospital or from a General Practitioner.
3. Accidents at work – these can include injuries from heavy lifting, slip and trips, or falling from a height etc.  If you feel your employer has been negligent in some way and this has led to your accident then you may have a claim for compensation.  Claiming from your employer can sometimes be a mentally difficult task but you should keep in mind that employers should have insurance to deal with such matters.
4. Accidents in a supermarket – there are many possible hazards in a supermarket, from slipping on a spillage to tripping on an item left in an aisle.  Supermarkets have to abide by Health and Safety Regulations, so if you have been injured and it was not your fault, you may have a claim.

These examples are only a small sample of the sorts of claims we deal with at The Injury Lawyers.  If you have a question regarding a possible claim, we, The Injury Lawyers, will always help.
