In April 2013, the government (in my opinion) ruined decades of access to justice and fairness when they abolished the recovery of certain legal fees in claims for personal injury compensation. For years accident victims were able to receive 100% of their payout as all of their legal fees could be recoverable from the opponent.

This is fair, right? Why should the victim have to pay to claim? If you suffered just vehicle damages in a road accident, you wouldn’t expect to have to pay your insurers to sort it out would you!?

But the government went ahead and stopped the recovery of two things – a Success Fee, and an After The Event insurance premium.

Whiplash is a lot more complicated than most people think. As an injury, it is real; despite the bad press it gets. For anyone out there who has actually suffered with a genuine whiplash injury, you’ll know that it is not always just a bit of neck ache. It can be debilitating, and it can have a significant effect on your everyday life. I should know, as I have had the injury myself.

Causes

Whiplash is most commonly caused by car accidents. A sudden impact can cause your neck and back to jerk forwards and backwards or sideways. This sudden movement can stretch the ligaments and muscles in your neck, back and shoulders beyond their normal range of movement; thus causing an injury.

There’s a reason why there is specific workplace regulations that cover being hit by a falling object; to make sure it never happens! The bits that cover being hit by a falling object like a crate fall within the realms of The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. The relevant part reads as follows:

13.(1) So far as is reasonably practicable, suitable and effective measures shall be taken to prevent any event specified in paragraph (3).

As the cold and wet weather sets in for winter, more and more potholes are bound to appear as water leaks in to surface cracks, expands in freezing temperatures, and breaks open the ground. Having been the victim of pothole damage in my car, costing me £300 earlier in the year for a new tyre, alloy refurbishment, and re-tracking, I know how annoying it is.

But riding over a pothole on a bicycle can be far, far more devastating. Whilst drivers feel the annoying bump of a pothole, probably cursing the council at the same time, a bicycle rider is liable to come off of their bike and sustain serious injuries. We have dealt with many cyclist injuries that have been caused by potholes and the injuries are often devastating.

We have taken on plenty of claims for personal injury compensation when it comes to collapsing chairs; but equally a collapsing table can result in a person sustaining an injury. What if you are leaning on it and it collapses? You’re likely to go down with it. Even if it collapses in general it could hit you and cause an injury.

So if you are the unfortunate victim of a table collapsing injury, what are your rights when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation?

Burns can be as annoying as they are painful. It can often take a long time for the pain of a burn to stop. On top of that, you may end up with some unsightly scarring which could last weeks, months, or even years. If you don’t know something is hot, people often have a delayed reaction which serves only to cause the burn to be worse due to prolonged contact.

So what are you rights when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation if you are suddenly burned by something when you are out an about? Perhaps in a shop, or a supermarket?

Building sites are subject to a large amount of health and safety rules and regulation. They are inherently dangerous places and the employees working on a site need to go to great lengths to ensure they are not injured on a site. You’ve probably seen “Hard hats must be worn” signs and “Do Not Enter” warnings on the entrances of sites.

But what happens if you are not working on a building site but walking past it and you end up injured? Can you make a claim for compensation?

There are many ways you can be injured by a broken or defective door in the workplace. It could suddenly jam mid operation, causing a jarring injury to your back or limbs. It could break off and hit you. It could slam shut and hit you or trap a part of your body if a slow release mechanism fails.

But what are your rights when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation if you are injured due to a defective or broken door in the workplace?
