What Is An Accident Claims Solicitor Covering Farnborough?

A personal injury solicitor could help you if you have accident claims in Farnborough. With years of education in the legal system, they could help you bring a personal injury claim to a successful conclusion.

If you are unsure as to whether an accident claim would be appropriate in your case, you simply need to check whether:

  1. You suffered some kind of illness or injury (mental or physical).
  2. Your injury was caused by an incident where someone acted dangerously or negligently with regards to your health and safety. This could be an employer who did not train you how to do a task safely, resulting in injury, or it could be a driver that veered into oncoming traffic, causing you to have a road accident in Farnborough. The third party who you hold responsible must have owed you a duty of care.
  3. Your claim is within the appropriate time limit. This is usually 3 years from the accident date but could differ for CICA claims, or illnesses that have developed over time, or were not diagnosed at the time. For further information of exceptions of the rule please speak to our advisors.

If these statements appear to be true for your case, then you could look for accident claims solicitors to help with accident claims in Farnborough.

If you’re still unsure, then you could call our accident claims advice line for more clarification. We’d be happy to talk it over with you and give you our honest opinion as to whether we think you would have a valid accident claim.

Slip, Trip And Fall Accidents

There are a variety of incidents that could lead to slip, trip and fall accidents, such as a loose floorboard or rug, or an unsafe working platform. If your slip or fall was someone else’s fault, for example, they did not fix the flooring or provide a safe working place, and they had a responsibility to do so, then you could consider making a claim for compensation for your injuries.

Accident At Work Compensation

Your employer must abide by workplace law, and when it comes to the health and safety of staff, any employer has a responsibility by law to ensure your workplace is a safe one. Whether you are on a building site or in an office or shop, your employer should take steps to ensure that you have all that you need to do your job safely. This could include:

  • PPE (Protective equipment)
  • Sufficient training
  • Supervision if needed
  • A safe working area
  • Risks assessments and plans to reduce risk
  • And more…

If you feel that your employer has not taken the required steps to ensure your health and safety, then they could be found liable for workplace accident claims in Farnborough if an employee is injured as a result.

Accident and illness claims at work could take a couple of different forms. There are those injuries or illnesses caused by a single event, such as a fall, or being trapped in a machine, but there are also those that come on over time. RSI, tendonitis, industrial deafness, mesothelioma and more could be included in workplace claims as they are conditions that could be caused by your work activities. If your employer has not done enough to protect you from the risk of developing one of these conditions, you could consider putting forward a claim for accident at work compensation if you are suffering with a preventable indutrail disease.

How Accident Claims UK could help you

Whether you’ve been injured by a criminal, because of medical negligence or in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, you could seek damages for your suffering and financial losses. While you might not think about it at the time you were injured, you might realise that compensation could help you to recover and then you might want to look for accident claims solicitors in Farnborough to help you claim. Although you may find solicitors and lawyers working in the Station Road, Lynchford Road or Wharf Road areas of Farnborough, not all of them will specialise in accident claims in the same way that we do.

You’re not limited to using local solicitors so you could call our team for free legal advice on your claim. Importantly, each of our solicitors are registered with the Solicitors Regulation Authority. They work remotely to offer an efficient service. This means you don’t need to travel to our offices as we’re able to conduct claims over email, the phone and online. As we’ve explained, our team work on a No Win No Fee basis and will always try to achieve the highest level of compensation possible.

If your claim is taken on after it has been reviewed, we’ll put you in contact with your lawyer. They’ll begin the case by finding out how you’ve been affected in more detail. This will allow them to include everything in your claim. To help back up your allegations, your solicitor will move quickly to secure evidence. This might include witness statements, hospital records or accident report forms. As part of the claims process, your injuries will need to be documented by an independent specialist. Therefore, a local appointment for a medical assessment will be booked.

We don’t want you to be bamboozled by legal or medical jargon during your claim. Therefore, your solicitor will handle all enquiries. Where the defendant argues over liability, your solicitor will try to counter them using their legal expertise or supplying further evidence.

One thing to bear in mind is that we don’t always accept the first compensation offer we receive. If it is clear that an offer doesn’t sufficiently cover the level of suffering or financial loss you’ve endured, we’ll fight hard to try and increase it.

Frequently Asked Questions

In the sections below, we answer some questions that you could have about accident claims in Farnborough.

Could A Solicitor Help My Claim?

While it could be possible to make an accident claim without an accident claim solicitor, you could find it more difficult. Our accident claims solicitors could make claiming easier, by bringing years of experience and knowledge to put a strong argument together for your case. Whether it’s an air accident, car accident, accident at work or medical negligence, they could have previous cases to draw on when arguing your case, so you could have more of a chance of winning your case. If you’re unsure on whether you’d have a valid claim, a personal injury solicitor could review your case to see if they think it is strong enough.

Is It Best To Claim With Local Solicitors?

While you could type ‘solicitors near me’ into a search engine, you may be missing out on other solicitors that could handle your case. We are a nationwide service, and we could provide accident claims solicitors covering Farnborough who have experience in your kind of claim.

Are Medical Assessments Part Of The Claims Process?

Medical assessments could be an important part of your accident claim. When you put your details into a personal injury claims calculator, it would put out a figure based on the simplest of details. When your settlement amount is considered by whoever is looking at your claim, they could need more information to make a decision on how much compensation you should receive. Being assessed by an independent doctor means they could put together a report containing all the details of your injury/ies and your prognosis and this is what could be used to calculate your settlement amount correctly.

Where Could I Have An Assessment?

An assessment does not have to be too far from where you live. We work with a panel of independent doctors, and some could be quite local to you. This could include:

Patrick Kirwin

2-4 Pond Head Lane Wokingham Rd

Earley Reading

RG6 7ET
