Slip, Trip, and Fall Claims

Slips, trips and fall claims are often related to issues in public areas, private property, and the workplace. Those individuals who own or occupy spaces where people visit are obliged to perform a slip, trip, and fall assessment, as they owe a duty of care to the people who frequent the area. For example, the council owe a duty of care to provide safe pathways and roads. A slip, trip, and fall accident can be the result of a lot of varying factors, such as uneven or unstable flooring, trailing cables, spillage, and poorly kept spaces. A slip, trip, and fall assessment is a recommended practice, as it should highlight any avoidable hazards that could have been prevented. If certain trip, slip, and fall hazards are unavoidable, they should be marked as such with the proper equipment or by following the correct procedures. If you believe your accident voids these factors and someone else’s negligence is to blame for your injury, you could be eligible to make a claim for compensation.

Accident at Work Claims for Compensation

Safety has vastly improved a great deal in Britain, and according to government statistics, the number of reported injuries within the workplace has decreased significantly. However, despite these strides in health and safety, an unexpected accident within the workplace can happen depending on a variety of circumstances. Relevant examples include falling debris, defective or dangerous machinery, and insufficient training. 

If you have been injured or assaulted in the workplace, our solicitors could assist you in making a claim. It may also be useful to know that your employer is obliged to perform risk assessments, safety equipment training, and to ensure that the work environment is void of hazardous accidents. You can read more information regarding accident in the workplace claims here.

Maidenhead Road Accident And Car Collision Claims

If you live in Maidenhead and have been involved in a road accident or car collision that wasn’t your fault, our solicitors could help you through the claims process. Road traffic accidents happen on a regular basis in the UK, and in most cases, these incidents can involve minor injuries.

A road traffic accident and car collision claim can cover accidents such as a car accident, bike accident or motorcycle accident that was caused by a third party. Such accidents can result in avoidable injuries such as neck, whiplash, back, or spinal issues. It is also worthing noting that it is indeed possible to make a claim against someone who was a pedestrian. To do so, there must be evidence that displays them as the direct cause of your accident, resulting in injury or damages that could have been avoided.

When making a road accident and car collision claim, our solicitors will help gather the evidence you will need when making a claim. However, when involved in a road collision, there are some crucial steps that you should consider;

  • Check all of the passengers and everyone involved in the crash
  • Call the police and report the incident
  • Collect the details of the other driver involved
  • Collect the details of any witnesses to the accident
  • Seek medical attention for the injuries that you have sustained

These steps can help strengthen your case and be extremely useful. To discover more details regarding these steps, you can find them here.

Compensation For An Assault Or Criminal Injury

In addition to a personal injury claim, our solicitors could also assist you when making a claim for criminal injuries. If there has been an assault where negligence was inflicted by another, resulting in harm or injury to you or a loved one, our solicitors covering Maidenhead could help you make a claim.

When making an assault or criminal injury claim, the initial idea can appear daunting. Reliving your trauma is never going to be an easy experience, but we could assist you in gaining some closure. If you have suffered psychological or physical injuries that have impacted your life, our solicitors could help you gain compensation for the damage caused. However, the assault must have taken place in England, Scotland or Wales, and there is a two-year window in which you must make the claim. 

You could make a successful assault competition claim regardless of the personal convictions, so long as you can prove your injuries are a direct result of an assault. With the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (CICA), you could receive compensation relating to either physical and/ or psychological injuries.

Accident In A Public Space

Claims for accidents in public spaces share similarities to slip, trip and fall accident claims that were previously discussed. Public Space accident claims can be made against the owner or operators of the area in question. Therefore, if a member of the public has suffered an injury in an accident that occurred on private property due to negligence, health and safety issues, or a failure to comply with legislation then they could be liable for your injuries. If the local council owns the area where your accident occurred then you could make a claim against them. As you can see, making a claim of this nature is complex, therefore we suggest that you use the services of our solicitors to assist you when making your claim.

Compensation For Medical Negligence Claims

Medical negligence, often referred to as clinical negligence, is the process in which a medical error, mistake, or insufficient care has resulted in an injury, illness, or the worsening of a condition as a result of a medical professional’s actions or omissions. Errors such as these could have a life-changing impact on your daily routine, resulting in difficult consequences and implications. This can include both physical and psychological conditions, covering post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression.
