So – what is a claim for compensation? Do you have a claim? How do you make one? Are there any costs involved? Let me fill you in:

What is a Claim for Compensation?

A claim for compensation is the idea of compensating you for any suffering and loss caused after an accident that was through no fault of your own. Whether you’ve been hit by another negligent driver whilst out on the road, had an accident at work, slipped on a wet floor, or tripped over a hazardous defect / obstacle whilst out and about, if it wasn’t your fault, you may have a claim.

The value of your whiplash claim is dependent on a number of things. We can give you a rough idea as to how much you could be entitled to claim for; but ultimately, these factors need to be taken in to account:

• Specialist Injury Lawyer – make sure you have a fully qualified expert injury lawyer on your case, working on a Genuine No Win No Fee basis. This means 100% compensation for you if you win – no deductions, no charges. If the claim loses, you pay nothing – not a penny.
• The Severity of Your Suffering – the more you suffer, the more it is likely to be worth.
• The Length of Your Suffering – the longer you suffer, the more it is likely to be worth.
• The Impact the Suffering has on you – the bigger the impact, the more it can be worth. Things like domestic issues, social implications, and employment implications are taken in to account
• Your Losses – on top of your whiplash compensation, you can claim for lost earnings, medical expenses, travel expenses, and other financial losses that are a direct result of your accident and injuries.

So – why does the type of lawyer you have make a difference for your claim amount? Well, if you get an independent firm of expert injury lawyers, with years and years of experience in dealing with whiplash claims, you have a far better chance at securing the maximum amount of compensation you are entitled to get.

If you have been injured due to a faulty product or a dodgy service, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

We have something called the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 that is designed to ensure that any good or service you receive is fit and safe for use / purpose. Nowadays, all products must undergo rigorous testing and checking to ensure there is no way anyone can be injured. When it comes to services, those providing them should be fully qualified and trained, with a good knowledge of health and safety to ensure no rule or regulation is ever broken.

The main problem is that we all tend to implicitly trust a product we buy or a service we use. When you tuck in to that sandwich from your local supermarket, how do you know that it wasn’t accidentally dropped on the floor before being packaged? How do you know that the builder who has just completed your new garage extension has built it properly? How do you know that the shop who have just returned your laptop from repair put the wires back in properly?
