What Is An Accident Claims Solicitor Covering Aldridge?

If you have been injured in an accident which was caused by another party you could be able to claim compensation from them for both your injury and for any additional expenditure that resulted from your accident. Suffering a personal injury could have very serious consequences for an accident victim as well as for their family. If you have had a very severe injury the consequences for all parties may be life-changing. If you claim compensation following this, you may think about using an accident claim solicitor to represent you and your case.

An accident claims solicitor covering Aldridge is a legal professional who assists claimants in seeking compensation when they have been injured due to third party negligence. The accident claim solicitor may not be based in your area but can conduct your case from anywhere in the country. Personal injury claims may be complex and require knowledge of the law and it is not always clear of what damages you could be compensated for, that is why we recommend using a personal injury solicitor for your case.

With your compensation settlement being a potentially important step on the road to getting back to normal, it is important that your accident compensation claim is handled by a professional personal injury solicitor.

Injury In A Public Place Compensation

From tripping over on a defective pavement to slipping on a spill in a supermarket, to an injury in the workplace, accidents could happen in almost any environment. Any of these and many other types of accidents which could happen in public places could lead to someone being seriously injured.

What should be noted in instances where you have had an injury in a public place and are seeking compensation is that any party responsible for an area where the public enter freely (without hindrance) is responsible for making sure people are safe when in this area and preventing accidents or injuries happening should always be a main priority.

Common circumstances in which injuries could happen and for which our accident claim solicitors could assist you may be:

  • Tripping over on a public defective footpath, local councils have a criteria that must be met in order to be eligible to make a claim.
  • Accidents in a hotel, due to damaged furniture that cause an avoidable injury.
  • Slipping and injuring yourself in a shop due to a spill that has not been cleaned up or marked with a hazard sign.
  • Food poisoning from food served in a restaurant.
  • Falling down stairs and injuring yourself in a shopping centre due to a defected handrail.
  • Accidents, causing injury in a poorly maintained lift or on an escalator.

Such accidents could happen in many different ways and could involve both private vehicles or public transport, such as buses and coaches. They may also involve taxis and Uber vehicles. If you have been involved in a vehicle accident as the driver of a vehicle, a passenger, a cyclist or motorbike rider or as a pedestrian, our team understands that the experience may have been traumatic. This could be the case no matter how minor or severe your road traffic accident injury was.

If another road user, or even a pedestrian was at fault, and you are injured you could have valid grounds to claim compensation from the responsible person. You could claim compensation for the harm you have suffered, as well as for costs and expenses caused by it. Learn more in this road traffic accident guide.

Claim Compensation For A Work Injury

Irrespective of what your job role is, what type of employment you are engaged in and where you work, the law clearly states that your employer must provide you with the safest place in which to work. They must also make sure that you have suitable equipment to work with and are able to do so safely. Additionally, you have the right to expect that your colleagues have also been properly trained and equipped so that they do not cause you harm whilst going about their work. If they have failed to fulfill these requirements, then you could be able to claim for a work injury which resulted.

If your claim against your employer it will not be them directly, but rather their insurance provider who will be liable for paying your compensation settlement. We know from experience that at times people may be hesitant about claiming against an employer, particularly if working for a small business. People worry about the impact on an employer and on their relationship with the business.

If you do claim for a work injury you should be aware that your rights as an employee are not affected and that you can not be dismissed unfairly.

Slipping And Tripping Accident Claims

Injuries caused by slipping and tripping accidents could vary between being more minor all the way through to being much more severe, causing fractures, back injuries, or serious damage to soft tissues. You could make a claim for slipping and tripping accidents almost irrespective of where they happened, whether in the workplace, in a shop or when walking along the pavement as long as it can be proven that your accident happened because the entity responsible for the public space acted in a negligent way.

There are many different potential causes of this type of accident, but they could be caused by:

  • Slipping over on a wet floor with no warning signs.
  • Tripping up because of uneven flooring inside or outside.
  • Tripping over because uneven or cracked pavements.
  • Tripping over due to hazards, obstacles or trailing wires.
  • Broken staircases.
  • Inadequate lighting / illumination.

Criminal Injuries Compensation

There are many different ways in which you could be harmed due to someone else’s criminal action. If you have been injured as a result of a criminal attack in the UK, you could be entitled to claim compensation with our panel of accident claims solicitors.

If you were the victim of a criminal injury, such as a violent crime, and were left with psychological or physical injuries, you could make a claim through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority if the person responsible for the attack has no means of providing compensation. We know that personal injuries which are caused by someone attacking or assaulting you could be serious and could have a long-term effect on you. One way to help you start to move on from this can be to secure the best possible compensation settlement for the harm that was caused to you.

Medical Malpractice Claims

Most doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists and other medical professionals are highly dedicated to their practice and to ensuring that their patients are properly treated and are taken care of in the safest possible manner. This dedication ensures that in most instances you do receive the best possible medical care. However, if there are instances in which a medical professional does not provide their patient with the appropriate level of medical care and patients suffer unnecessarily this may be classed as medical negligence.

Some examples of when you could potentially make a medical malpractice claim could include:

  • Misdiagnosis of illnesses or injuries which caused unnecessary suffering.
  • Being given low quality or substandard medical care which caused a new illness.
  • Errors and mistakes in surgery such as wrong site surgery.
  • Doctors (or other medical staff) failing to act on symptoms of an illness and your health deteriorates.
  • If negligent medical care has caused the patient to lose quality of life, suffer serious injury, or to be fatally harmed.

As medical malpractice claims could take many forms we have several different related guides across our site. You could find out more in our main medical negligence claims guide here.

I suffered an allergic reaction in a restaurant, could accident claim solicitors covering Aldridge assist?

We would be happy to speak to you if you believe that you suffered an allergic reaction because of the restaurant’s negligence. Many people in the UK have food allergies, and allergy sufferers usually take great care to avoid consuming what they are allergic to. However there may be a situation where you have consumed an allergen unknowingly. This could be because the ingredients were not listed as allergens on pre-packaged food items. Or, a restaurant’s allergy menu may be incorrect. Perhaps you’ve even asked serving staff to leave something out of your mail, and they have ignored your request and included it anyway. Whether you’ve suffered an allergic reaction in a café, takeaway or restaurant or from foods purchased from one, we could help you with a claim for compensation. Whether your reaction was serious, and involved anaphylaxis, or you suffered stomach cramps, hives or other symptoms, we could help you get the compensation you deserve.

I was partly to blame for a road traffic accident, could I still claim compensation?

In some cases, you could still claim compensation even if you are partially to blame for a road traffic accident. If there was fault by another driver too, you could still put in a claim for compensation but you might have to accept a reduced pay out due to your involvement. These kinds of claims can be somewhat complex, however. This is why having the right accident claims solicitors covering Aldridge is vital. They could help you get the compensation you deserve.
