What Is An Accident Claims Solicitor Covering Banbury?
An accident claims solicitor covering Banbury is a legal professional who handles accident claims for compensation. With the new advancements in telecommunication and technology, it is no longer a necessity to use a local solicitor meaning you can use an accident claims solicitor who can cover your area. They are also referred to as an accident claims lawyer, personal injury lawyer or personal injury solicitor. If you wish to claim compensation for an accident that was not your fault, you may choose to use an accident claims solicitor to represent your claim.
Under what circumstances can you make an accident claim for compensation? First of all, you must be able to prove that another party owed you a duty of care. Examples of a duty of care include the following: drivers owe other road users a duty of care, meaning that they are legally obliged to drive safely, not putting anyone else at risk. Medical practitioners such as doctors and nurses owe their patients a duty of care, meaning that they are supposed to provide them with a minimum standard of medical treatment. And shops owe their customers a duty of care, meaning that they are supposed to provide them with a safe and hygienic environment in which to shop.
If one party does not uphold their duty of care, for example, a driver drives dangerously, or a shop doesn’t fix a broken floorboard, and another person is injured as a result, this is known as negligence. If you are injured because of negligence on the part of another party, you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries.

Unfortunately slip, trip and fall injuries are quite common. This is because many health and safety hazards can cause trip and fall accidents.

Fortunately, most injuries caused by trip and fall accidents are not serious, such as minor cuts and bruises, that can heal by themselves quickly. However slip, trip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries including a broken or fractured bone, or a soft tissue injury.

Work Injury Compensation Claims
In the United Kingdom, employers are legally obliged to provide their employees with a safe and hygienic environment in which to work. If an employer neglects to identify and control a health and safety hazard and this causes an employee to have an accident and become injured, the employee could make a work injury compensation claim. These rules are codified in laws such as the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Occupiers’ Act 1957. Examples of common accidents at work include manual handling accidents, slip, trip and fall accidents and accidents regarding the use of hazardous substances.

Criminal Injury Claims
Victims of violent crimes such as a stabbing in Banbury could claim compensation for their injuries. You could claim compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.

Instead, you will enter into a Conditional Fee Agreement, which states that if the solicitor does not win your accident compensation claim, you will not have to pay them a solicitors fee.

What qualities do good accident claims solicitors covering Banbury have?
When making a compensation claim for any sort of accident or injury, you may want to find experienced personal injury solicitors covering Banbury who could help you to put together a strong case. There are a lot of different legal professionals and law firms to choose from as you can opt for someone based anywhere in the UK, although you may wish to check whether they’re registered in England and Wales and authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. But, how can you make sure that you end up with the right one for you?
You may want to think about taking the time to find out more about the personal injury claims solicitor you’re considering. How long have they worked in the industry? Do they have years of experience? What sort of cases have they worked on? Do they have a good success rate?
In addition to this, you will want to find out how much they charge for their service. It makes sense to opt for a no win no fee solicitor. By doing this, you are only going to need to pay legal fees (your lawyer’s success fee) if your case ends up being successful.
I believe I was partly to blame for the incident, can I make a claim with accident claims solicitors covering Banbury?
One of the common questions from people who want to make a claim, is those from people who fear that they will not be able to because they were partly at fault for what happened.
If this sounds familiar, you may be interested to know that your chances of making a claim may not be hopeless. There have been many examples whereby claimants have received a payout even though they were partly to blame for what occurred.
You would usually find that the payout you receive is going to be lower to reflect your involvement in what happened. However, you would need to be able to prove that there was blame on the side of another liable party.
This is why it makes sense to give our friendly and experienced legal team a call. We have many years of experience in the industry, and we provide free legal advice. We will ask you a few questions about what happened to you so that we can get a better understanding of your case This could enable us to determine whether or not you could have a good chance of securing compensation.
