What Is An Accident Claims Solicitor Covering Mansfield?

There are many ways in which harm from an accident could be caused by negligence, from a breach in duty of care by an employer to a public body ignoring their responsibility to maintain a local park or pavement. Accident claims in Mansfield could be made for an injury or illness that wouldn’t have occurred if the third party responsible hadn’t acted with negligence.

For example, if you were involved in a road accident in Mansfield which was caused by the actions of another road user, you could be entitled to make a claim. Accident compensation could also be claimed for negligence of a healthcare professional, another driver, employer or the owner of private and public premises. To ensure you have the best chance of making a successful accident claim you may benefit from using the services of a solicitor.

An accident claims solicitor typically specialise in a range of different cases to help people receive the compensation that they could be entitled to. The services of an accident claim solicitor which could be provided to you include:

  • They will help you collect vital evidence for your case.
  • They will also assess how valid your claim is and whether it is applicable under the claims time limit related to your injuries.
  • You could also be provided with a centralised estimation of the potential compensation you may receive rather than using a personal injury claims calculator.

Accidents In A Public Place In Mansfield

An accident in a public place caused by a breach in the duty of care owed to you by a third party is called ‘public liability’. In such cases, the public place in question could encompass a series of different spaces, such as a local park, shopping centre, leisure centre or a street itself. For the purposes of making a claim, providing the space in question can be entered as a member of the public and the injury you have suffered was the result of third party negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

Who the claim may be brought against is dependent on who the third-party responsible for the space is. This could include a local authority responsible for the maintenance of the pavement or a local part, or even a private owner of a shopping centre or car park.

To make a public space accident claim, contact our accident claims solicitors covering Mansfield.

Criminal Injuries Compensation

To help you make a claim for criminal injuries compensation, the proficiency of our accident claims solicitors could make a difference in your settlement case. If someone has deliberately harmed you through a criminal act, our expert team could help you.

In circumstances where a criminal injury or criminal accident has caused you harm, the resulting injury could be physical or psychological. You may be eligible for compensation for a physical injury, such as a broken bone, or psychological harm which does not initially present itself to the victim, such as PTSD. In cases concerning PTSD, the accident claims time limit will begin from the point that you became aware of the PTSD and it had been diagnosed.

For additional support, some victims can find help through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (or ‘CICA’).  CICA is an executive agency sponsored by the Ministry of Justice which provides compensation for blameless victims who have suffered from acts of criminal violence.

If you or someone close to you has been a victim of criminal injuries, contact an accident claim solicitor from our team today.

Slip, Trip, Fall Compensation Claims

There are many ways in which slips, trips or falls could be caused and lead to an undue injury. The blame could fall upon an irresponsible employer or a neglected pavement. The result of this that could entitle a person to slip trip and fall compensation claim include:

A slip could occur when there is too little or too much friction/traction between the footwear of a person and a surface. The negligence in these circumstances is where the third party responsible did not properly signpost the hazard or deal with it correctly. Common causes include:

Trips:
If a surface or step is uneven, it could lead to a person tripping and injuring themselves as a result. Again, in these cases, it is the responsibility of the owner to signpost or provides appropriate maintenance for this issue. An injury could be caused by:

  • Poor lighting
  • Wrinkled carpeting
  • Poor lighting
  • Obstructed views
  • Bottom drawers not closed properly
  • Potholes
