To be honest, I cannot speak for all law firms out there; I can only tell you about the way that we operate. But in principle, if you have instructed a lawyer to represent you on a no win, no fee basis, the idea is that you shouldn’t be charged if you lose your compensation claim.

So read on for how we can offer it, how it works, and whether there may be any catches at all.

A broken nose is a very easy injury to sustain. Any fall to the ground can lead to one, as can road accidents where the force is significant enough to cause a facial impact injury; common on buses where seatbelts are not usually supplied.

Whilst they are not the most serious of injuries to suffer with, they are generally annoying and they do cause a noticeable degree of pain and suffering in general. Some of the more serious cases may lead to permanent disfigurement or problems too.

An uncovered drain gully or drain hole is an obvious hazard. Whether it’s out and about on the street or in a car park, or other privately owned premises, you may have a claim for personal injury compensation if you end up falling in one, either fully or partially, or if you fall in general as a result of the missing cover.

So who do you sue and how does a claim work in these kinds of scenarios? Read on for more advice…

For many, an injury to the index finger is worse than injuries to other fingers. It can be the primary finger to use, so an injury to something as small as an index finger can still have such significant consequences.

So what are we looking at for payouts for index finger compensation claims, and what can you include in a case?

OK, so you could call me bias as this is coming from an actual law firm – so read on to let me explain to you exactly how we can get you more money.

We do get a lot of enquiries from people who are either considering dealing directly with an insurer or Defendant, or who actually are dealing with them, and those who have under settled with them and it’s too late for us to save them.

There are some people, much like myself, who are at low risk of being injured in the workplace. Working in an office means I’m rarely exposed to any dangers. There are those occupations where the workplace can be a far more dangerous place, and working as a mechanic is definitely one that can fall within this category.

So let’s look at some rules and regulations and where you may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation as an injured mechanic.

Even what are classed as minor knee dislocation injuries can be extremely serious indeed, leaving the victim with potentially lifelong problems. If you’re after advice about knee dislocation compensation claims, I can offer it you both as an employee of a specialist injury law firm and as a victim myself.

I dislocated my knee in 2012 rupturing both collaterals and the lateral meniscus, and suffering an avulsion fracture as the ACL pulled off the bone – so read on for my advice.

The government changed the law drastically last year. The reforms they put in to place have resulted in lawyers being unable to recover all of their fees from the other side, and in addition to this, they slashed the amount of legal fees that can be claimed back to an all time low.

These reforms are now leaving the victim out of pocket because lawyers cannot offer a proper service without having to take a deduction from your claim. But is 35% too much to take? Read on for some more advice.

The thing about fractured or cracked ribs is that, in the vast majority of cases, they are not classed as serious and will often heal in their own good time. There is also normally very little the NHS or any other medical professional can do other than advise you to take pain medication.

They won’t even normally x-ray you because there is little that can be done. But from a claiming perspective, what are we looking at when it comes to fractured or cracked rib claims?

April 2013 saw some huge changes in the personal injury claiming world. We have the government and their buddies in the insurance industry to thank for it when they caved to pressure from the multi-billion pound insurance giants to stop accident victims being able to recover all of their legal fees from the insurers.

Not exactly fair now is it? Why should the victim have to pay to claim? Well, that’s what happens nowadays I’m afraid. But what you need to know about is that some firms are going to take more from you than you ought to be paying.
