What Is An Accident Claims Solicitor Covering King’s Lynn?

Accident claims (which could also be called personal injury claims) could be made if you have sustained a personal injury of some kind. These personal injuries may be physical, psychological or could present as a disease or illness. The critical factors are that firstly harm has been caused and that this harm could have been avoided. Also a vital factor is that the company/operator etc who is liable for the accident will have owed you a duty of care and through negligence breached this causing avoidable harm. An example may be the duty of an employer to ensure a workers safety.

Making an injury or accident claim is the process by which you could claim damages (compensation) from the party who acted negligently and was responsible for the accident. Such claims may be made on your own behalf, or on behalf of another person using a personal injury or accident claim solicitor.

It may be dispensed at a GP surgery, at a dental surgery or in a hospital department, such as King’s Lynn Accident and Emergency department.

Injury And Accident At Work Compensation

Accident at work compensation may be sought if an employee, contractor or even someone who is self-employed is injured in the workplace in an accident that happened because the person responsible for the safety of workers had breached their duty if care.

If you have suffered an accident at work and wish to seek accident at work compensation, our team are here to help with accident claims advice and personal injury lawyers to handle your claim if necessary.

Most people depend on their job and their ability to work for their income which comes from it. Being injured at work therefore could be much more distressing. As a result, you may have had to take time off work (with reduced pay or no pay) or have had to end a career which you loved. If you have lost income your financial wellbeing may have been seriously affected.

We think that if you were injured at work you should not be left feeling anxious about retaining your job or being able to meet financial commitments. Our team of accident claims solicitors are on hand to help those in such circumstances to find out if they are due any compensation.

Slip And Trip Claims

If you were injured when slipping or tripping over and wish to make a slip and trip claim, our panel of personal injury lawyers may be able to assist you. Slipping over or tripping up in public may often just lead to a little embarrassment as we get back up. In some instances it may also be that you suffered some form of injury. Slips and falls could lead to injuries which may range in severity from minor injuries to severe injuries.

Slip and trips claims could often be made if the proprietor of an establishment or a local authority has not taken the right measures to ensure the safety of members of the public who are passing through their space.

This type of accident is quite common and could happen in any location such as a rented home, the street, in a public park, in shops and retailers or at a station. They are often caused by flooring or pavements being allowed to fall into disrepair, but may also be caused by wet floors, bad lighting and hazards being left on the ground.

Criminal Injuries Compensation

If you have been the victim of a crime, such as a violent crime, and were injured due to this, an accident claims solicitor may be able to help you pursue a criminal injuries compensation claim.

You may be able to pursue a criminal injuries compensation claim if you have been victim to a violent crime or sexual crime in the UK. The criteria which allow people to undertake this type of claim differs from the other types of personal injury claims discussed on this page. For example the standard accident claims time limit of three years does not apply.

  • The claim should be started less than two years after the incident took place.
  • The crime committed against you, such as a shooting, assault or act of abuse must be reported to the police at your earliest opportunity.
  • It must be possible for the police to investigate the allegation and you must cooperate with this investigation.
  • Medical evidence will be necessary.

We could assist you to claim compensation in the event of a shooting, stabbing or other fatal accident caused by someone else’s criminal activity.

Public Space Accident Claims

This is another category of accident which could be quite varied in the circumstances in which an accident could take place. The resulting injuries may also be quite varied. They could happen in almost any location where you could enter as a member of the public. Some of the circumstances which may be more common could be:

  • General pedestrian accidents.
  • Workplace accidents and injuries.
  • Accidents in retailers such as supermarkets and shops.
  • Injuries to a child in a school or playground.

There are many other different ways in which public injuries could happen so if your accident does not fit into the above circumstances and was caused by another person’s/company’s negligence, there may be a case for compensation.

No Win No Fee Accident Claims Solicitors Covering King’s Lynn

You may have come to this page by using one of the most commonly searched terms, ‘no win no fee solicitors near me’. Conditional fee agreements were introduced to facilitate personal injury solicitors providing services to claimants in a way which reduces their (the claimants) risk.

Many of our personal injury solicitors operate under no win no fee agreements. Whilst the agreement will deal with different services which are provided by the solicitor and the way in which they are done so. The important thing which you need to know is that if they can not obtain a settlement for you, you don’t have to pay them. If they do obtain a settlement, then you will have to pay a percentage of your accident compensation settlement to the solicitor. How much this percentage is, will be contained in the agreement before the case is started.

How Our Accident Claims Solicitors Covering King’s Lynn Could Help You

You are unlikely to have any thoughts about claiming damages for any injuries in the immediate aftermath of an accident.

Before you do, you may also want to consider using Accident Claims UK as we only deal with personal injury claims and we always offer No Win No Fee services for claims we take on.

So that you don’t need to spend time travelling to our offices, we deal with claims over the phone, online and via email. This system has worked well for our team of experienced solicitors who’ve been handling claims for clients for over 30-years. Importantly, we are registered with the Solicitors Regulation Authority so you can be sure that you’ll receive professional legal advice whenever you speak with us.

If we accept your case, your solicitor will spend some time discussing everything with you to get a good understanding of what’s happened and how you have been affected. After they have done so, they’ll move on to securing evidence to substantiate your claim. Around this time, your solicitor will book a local appointment for a medical assessment. This is required so that your injuries are documented as well as a prognosis for your recovery.

We don’t want you to be overwhelmed by questions from insurers or the defendant’s lawyers. Therefore, your solicitor will deal with everything on your behalf and try to counter any objections that are raised about liability. They’ll supply additional evidence where needed as well. To try and ensure any compensation offer is fair, your solicitor will review them with you. If it is deemed that the settlement amount does not cover the extent of your injuries, they’ll go back and fight for more on your behalf to try and make sure the maximum compensation award possible is paid.

Question And Answer Section

Accident claim solicitors are often asked the same questions by different claimants, or very similar ones. As well as asking whether they could claim compensation with a no win no fee solicitor (addressed above) or ‘how do you make a claim’ we are also asked about the role played by medical exams and if they are necessary.

Q: Do I Need To Have A Medical Examination?

A: In general those who are making a personal injury claim may be asked by their accident claim solicitor to undergo an examination by a doctor. There are exceptions to this. In some cases a defendant may admit their liability for an accident in the early stages of the claims process. In these cases they may also make a reasonable compensation offer prior to any medical examinations. This is called a pre-medical offer. In such cases your accident claim solicitor will advise you as to whether or not you should accept this offer. It may be that this is a good offer which you should accept, or that you should not. Often pre-med offers are lower than what you could be eligible for.
