\"\"It seems that many more people are becoming aware of their rights when it comes to claiming for a personal injury<\/a>.\u00a0 This may be due to the increased amount of advertisements on television and radio heightening awareness for people who have had an accident that was not their fault.<\/p>\n

With the above in consideration, many clients still come to us entirely unsure and unconfident in the fact they have a valid personal injury claim for compensation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Claims for personal injury can stem from all sorts of different accidents and types of personal injury; I have listed some of these below:
\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Road traffic accident<\/a> \u2013 these are one of our most common claims here at The Injury Lawyers<\/a> with clients suffering anything from minor whiplash to more serious injuries. For more recent road traffic accidents a new system has been put in place making the whole claims process much more streamlined, simple, and fast; thus giving faster results to claimants.<\/li>\n
  2. Clinical negligence<\/a> \u2013 if you feel you have had inadequate treatment by a medical professional and this has caused you a personal injury or exacerbated suffering, you may have a claim for compensation<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Accidents at work<\/a> \u2013 if you have had an accident at work and it was not your fault then you may have a claim for compensation<\/strong>. At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we realise that claiming against your employer can be difficult task; however, it must be of note that employers should not treat you any differently because of it.\u00a0 Examples of accidents at work include a fall from a height, injuries stemming from a lack of\/inappropriate personal protection equipment, or even industrial diseases such as vibration white finger.<\/li>\n
  4. Accidents in a supermarket<\/a> \u2013 there are many potential hazards in a supermarket which can include slipping on a spillage, tripping on an item left on the floor of an aisle, or an item falling on you from a poorly stacked shelf. Supermarkets like anywhere else have a duty to protect their customers as far as is reasonably possible from harm. If you have had an accident that was not your fault, you may have a claim for compensation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we give free assessment of claims whether we take the claim on or not. We take all our claim on using our genuine no win no fee<\/a> agreement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
