I was partly to blame for my accident, could accident claims solicitors covering Bury St Edmunds still assist me?

In some cases, it may not be clear that one party is totally at fault for an accident in which you’re injured. Particularly when it comes to road traffic accidents, there is sometimes fault by both sides. If you’re partly at fault for a car accident in which you suffered injuries, you could be under the misapprehension that personal injury solicitors covering Bury St Edmunds wouldn’t be able to help. However, they could still help you obtain compensation. In some cases, the claim may be considered split liability, in which one party might be at fault, but so is another party. You could still receive a payout for such claims, but it could be lower than it would if you’d been totally blameless. Such claims could be complicated, however. Therefore, it would be wise to have an experienced solicitor on your side when you make this type of claim. We would be happy to assess your case to see if you could be eligible for compensation.

 

Could accident claims solicitors covering Bury St Edmunds assist with allergy claims?

Many people in the UK have allergies. Some people are allergic to foods, while others are allergic to medicines.

  • You consume an allergen in a restaurant because the allergy menu was wrong
  • You’ve bought a pre-packaged food items where an allergen wasn’t included on the ingredients list
  • After asking a restaurant server to leave an allergen out of your dish, they ignore your request and serve you food with allergens in

No matter how severe or minor your allergic reaction, if it was caused by a liable party’s negligence, you could make a claim for compensation against them.
