What Is An Accident Claims Solicitor Covering Redditch?

An accident claim is a type of legal case in which a person may receive compensation for their injuries if another person or third party body was to blame. This could be the negligent actions of another road user or a breach in an employer’s duty of care which has resulted in harm.

In these circumstances, a personal injury solicitor could make a huge difference in the total settlement you receive for your damages. Our accident claims solicitors strive to help clients receive the highest possible settlement for their injuries in a range of accident claims.

When you come to contacting an accident claim solicitor from our panel, they will provide you with specialist services to help your claim progress. Some of these services could include:

  • An assessment of whether you have a valid claim under the applicable accident claims time limit.
  • Professional assistance in collecting evidence for your case.
  • An estimation of your potential settlement through a personal injury claims calculator.

To gain additional information about how our panel of accident claims solicitors could help you claim the compensation you could be entitled to read on.

Claims For Accidents In Public Places

Also known as public liability, a public injury claim involves a number of different spaces which can encompass any member of the public. This could include a street, local park, shopping centre or a leisure centre, providing the owner has neglected the space in question.

For the purpose of making a personal injury claim, your accident claim solicitor must first ensure that your injury was caused by a breach in the duty of care by a third party body. Whether it is operated by a public body such as a local authority or private owner, a claim for accident compensation could be made.

Claims For Accidents In The Workplace

Your employer is legally obligated to protect you from harm at work. They must inform you about health and safety issues that might affect you, alongside reporting certain accidents and incidents when they occur. To ensure accidents are prevented, there are various professional guidelines available to employers that recommend efficient steps to take and safety training techniques. Some of the responsibilities of an employer include:

  • Providing a safe working environment and safe equipment.
  • Ensure the necessary safety equipment for particular jobs is provided, such as personal protective equipment or noise-cancelling headphones.
  • Training employees appropriately so that their job role can be carried out in a safe way.

However, not all workplace injuries are caused by an employer. Common causes of workplace injuries include repetitive strain injury, exposure to loud noise or being hit by falling objects. To discuss the types of workplace injuries and make an accident at work claim contact our panel of expert personal injury lawyers today.

Claims For Road Or Car Accidents

A road traffic accident of any degree can be a traumatic experience for those involved and often result in injuries ranging in severity, from whiplash to broken bones. After the shock of an accident, you may need time to distinguish who was at fault and what your next steps may be.

Unfortunately, road traffic accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. If a car accident, lorry accident, or Redditch bus crash was caused by the negligent actions of another person and caused you harm as a result, you could be entitled to make a personal injury claim.

For more information about the car accident claims process read our online guide. If you believe your injuries were caused by third party actions, contact our team today.

Claim Trip Or Fall Compensation

To make a claim for slip, trip or fall compensation you will need to first identify what the cause was. Your injury could be the result of potholes on the road, icy pavements not properly treated or even a footpath negligently obstructed by someone leaving items there and thus causing a hazard. Accident claims in Redditch could also be brought for:

  • A negligent employer
  • Loose wires/cables
  • Wet or oily surfaces
  • Weather hazards
  • Uneven flooring
  • Unanchored or loose rugs/mats
  • Poor lighting
  • Obstructed views

The result of these causes could lead to injuries such as sprains, fractures, or other musculoskeletal injuries. More information on causes and prevention can be found in this HSE report.

Claim For Medical Negligence

If you were unnecessarily injured by a professional while receiving treatment at a healthcare facility, you could be eligible to make a personal injury claim. In these types of cases, the circumstances under which healthcare professionals cause you harm are referred to as ‘medical negligence’.

All practitioners from the healthcare sector legally owe you a duty of care to deliver. When their levels of treatment drop below reasonably expected standards it may result in ‘avoidable harm’. The term ‘avoidable harm’ is used because sometimes certain treatments may have unavoidable injuries which cannot be avoided. There is the potential for clinical malpractice to occur in either private facilities or NHS sectors, such as Redditch accident and emergency.

If you feel that you may have been harmed as a result of medical negligence, contact a member from our panel of accident claims solicitors covering Redditch today. They could help you make a claim for the clinical negligence of a healthcare provider that have resulted in your injuries.

Redditch Criminal Injury Damages Claims

While our accident claims solicitors are capable of covering a range of compensation claims, another area of accident claims we can cover is an injury caused by criminal actions. This could be if someone has deliberately harmed you through a criminal act which has led to physical or psychological harm. A criminal accident which might result in harm could take the form of a broken bone or psychological harm which presents itself later, such as PTSD.

Although making a criminal injury claim may seem daunting, our solicitors are specially trained to handle each case with care to help you receive a settlement for your suffering. You may be wondering ‘Who qualifies as a victim of crime?’ as our expert team will advise you, even cases where the perpetrator was never identified or caught could still be successful.

You can make a claim for criminal injuries that you have sustained as a victim of violent crime through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). For more information regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact us.

No Win No Fee Accident Claims Solicitors Covering Redditch

A No Win No Fee solicitor can cover a range of different cases, from road accident claims, claims for trip or fall compensation. Regardless of what type of accident claim you are looking to make, one of your chief concerns should be how you will fund your case. Generally speaking, one of the most affordable ways to fund your claim is by using a No Win No Fee agreement.

Also referred to as a ‘Conditional Fee Agreement’ (or CFA), these types of financial agreements tend to be offered to claimants if their solicitor believes the claim is likely to succeed.

The solicitor in question undertakes their client’s work on the basis that their fees will only be paid if the claimant receives a settlement figure. If, for whatever reason, the case is unsuccessful, the client won’t receive a bill to pay for their accident claims solicitor.

Could accident claims solicitors covering Redditch help me if I’ve been injured as the result of a hit and run?

If you are wondering whether it could be possible for you to claim injury compensation from a hit and run accident, you might be pleased to hear that it could still be possible. Although most drivers have the relevant insurance and take care when using the roads, some people do not take great care and could cause an accident. They may also have failed to get insurance.

It is a legal requirement for a motorist to stop at the scene of an accident if it causes property damage or personal injury. However, some people do not do this. You might be wondering how it could be possible to claim compensation for a hit and run accident if the driver cannot be found. Luckily, the Motor Insurers Bureau, set up to tackle uninsured driving, could compensate you.

If you’re considering making a claim through the MIB, we could help you. Our personal injury solicitors covering Redditch could put together a strong case for compensation and negotiate for the highest level of compensation achievable for your case. Why not call us today, where we could offer you a free assessment of your case, and give you an idea of how likely it could be that you’d get compensation.

How do I know whether accident claims solicitors covering Redditch would handle my claim professionally?

Now that you are aware that you don’t have to use a local solicitor to make a claim, you might be overwhelmed with the number of law firms and solicitors you have to choose from. With many law firms advertising that they are registered in England and Wales, and authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, you may think that they would all offer a very similar service. However, like almost anything, the quality of legal services you receive depends on the individual or company you choose. We would strongly advise you to carefully look into any solicitor you’re considering using, checking out how many years of experience they have, whether they could offer free legal advice, and whether they work on a no win no fee basis. You could even look at reviews that previous claimants have left them. It would be wise to use an independent website when doing this. Getting as much information as possible before choosing your solicitor could significantly benefit your claim.
