What Is An Accident Claims Solicitor Covering Salford?
Even though you may have a valid reason to make a personal injury claim, the process of preparing to do so, and also of processing the claim itself, may require specialist legal expertise. Put simply, to make accident claims in Salford you may want the help and assistance of a personal injury solicitor or accident claims solicitor.
Your solicitor will give you advice on how to prepare evidence such as photographs and proof of financial loss such as invoices and receipts. They will also value your claim for you (which will likely mean you need to undergo a medical examination). Once the preparation has been done, the solicitor will then proceed to process your claim for you, and hopefully, reach a settlement.
As part of our service, we can provide you with a solicitor that will advise you on how best to prepare for making your claim, and then process it for you. Talk to one of our team members on the number below to learn more about the service we offer claimants.
Salford Accident At Work And Personal Injury Claims
Your employer has a duty of care towards its workforce, and also members of the public visiting its premises, to ensure the environment is safe and free from health hazards. This is not something that the employer can overlook, they are legally obliged to proactively uncover and then mitigate all potential risks to the health of employees. However, an accident at work can cause injuries and they do happen. Accidents resulting in an injury at work claim could be caused by hazards such as:
- An employee is injured while carrying out a dangerous task that they have not been trained for.
- An employee is injured due to not being provided with adequate, well-maintained safety equipment.
- An employee contracts a work-related illness due to being exposed to a harmful chemical or some other dangerous substance at work, due to lax safety protocols.
All of these are examples of how an employee could suffer harm at the hands of their employer, that could result in them being able to make an accident claim. We can provide you with a solicitor that is experienced in processing accident at work personal injury claims. Call our team on the number below to learn more.

Road Accident Claims In Salford
All victims of a road traffic accident could be able to make a compensation claim, if a third party caused it. This means the person in control of a vehicle such as a car, motorcycle or bicycle, their passengers, and also pedestrians and people riding horses. Road traffic accidents can result in injuries ranging from cuts and bruises, through whiplash, fractured bones or even death in extreme cases. They could be caused by hazards such as:
- Drivers who are distracted not paying due care and attention to the road conditions.
- Road users who have been drinking or using drugs.
- Dangerous or reckless driving such as racing or speeding.
- Hazards that have been left on a public road, such as construction equipment.
When an accident is caused by a third party, for reasons such as these examples above, then it could be possible for the victim to make a road accident claim for any injuries they have experienced. Speak to one of our claim advisors on the number below, to find out how our solicitors can help you with your RTA claim.
Slip And Fall Settlements
Slips, trips and falls are a very frequent kind of accident. Often, they result in no injury at all apart from a little embarrassment. But in some cases, they do cause physical harm, and sometimes grave injuries. Any time you leave your home and go out in public, walk down the street, go shopping, visit a restaurant or any other establishment, the legal entity responsible for the premises are expected to make it safe. This includes removing all slip, trip and fall hazards. If the operator of the premises does not ensure that members of the public and employees are not at risk of a slip, trip or fall type accidents, and this results in harm to a person on the premises, either directly or indirectly, then reason to make a claim could exist. We can help with these kinds of claims, our solicitors can offer you, accidents claims advice, for example, what a slip and fall settlement letter is, and also process your claim for you.
Injuries Caused By Criminal Attacks
The claim process for people who have been the victim of a violent crime is slightly different. In these kinds of claim, the personal injury solicitor will likely not be able to pursue the criminal for compensation, for a variety of reasons. However, there is an alternative available, in the form of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). For victims of crimes such as assault, rape, mugging or any other physical attack, CICA provides a way for them to make a compensation claim when no other route to receiving compensation is available. We can provide you with a solicitor that has experience in making CICA claims. They will be able to walk you through the process of making a claim, and advise you on how best to prepare for your claim. Speak to one of our advisors on the number below to learn more about this service.
Public Liability Injury Claims
What happens if you trip over in the street? Or slip on a wet floor at your local library? Who is responsible for these kinds of places? It would be the local authority that is responsible for ensuring members of the public are safe on public streets and in public buildings, as well as when using other public facilities such as a council-run car park, or a children’s playground. If you are injured in an accident that was caused by a hazard that the local council in Salford should have taken care of, or at least marked clearly as a hazard, then you could be able to make a claim for accident compensation. We can provide you with a personal injury lawyer that would be able to process this kind of claim for you. All you need to do, is call our claims team on the number below and speak to one of our advisors to get started.
Medical Negligence Claims In Salford
Have you been harmed either physically or psychologically by Salford medical negligence? Your doctor, or any other medical professional that you are relying on to treat you, is expected not to cause you any unnecessary harm. When they do, it could be deemed as negligence. If a medical professional acts in a negligent way that they could have avoided, you could have a valid basis for a claim. However, you must have actually suffered harm in order to be eligible to claim. If you are unsure of your eligibility, we can help. Use the number below to have a conversation with one of our claim advisors. Explain what has happened to you, and the situation that led to you coming to unnecessary harm. They will tell you whether you have a valid reason to make a clinical negligence claim or not.

We also wouldn’t charge you any fees at all if you don’t receive any compensation. When you do receive a compensation payment though, our solicitors would need to be paid. So, we would take the legal fees out of the money we received automatically, and then we would pass the remainder over to you.

When choosing accident claims solicitors covering Salford, what do I need to consider?
Whether you have been injured in a car accident, suffered medical negligence or want to make an assault at work claim your choice of solicitor could significantly impact your case. After all this is the person who will be negotiating compensation on your behalf. Therefore, you need to choose carefully. We have already reiterated the fact that you do not need to use personal injury solicitors based in Salford for your claim. This means you have a choice of many law firms registered in England and Wales who are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. While this represents a wider choice for you, narrowing down your search may be a little complicated. So what considerations should you make? Our advice would be to choose a law firm or personal injury solicitor that has years of experience helping claimants get the compensation they deserve. You may want them to have experience in fighting for the maximum compensation settlement possible for each and every case and it could be a good idea to ask about their success rate. Not only this, but if you want to avoid paying legal fees up front you could do with looking for a no win no fee lawyer.
Here at Accident Claims UK, we could assist you with your claim by providing free no obligation legal advice which is specific to your case. We could check your eligibility for free too and this could give you all the information and guidance you need to be confident in our services.

I was injured in a hit and run accident and the driver couldn’t be traced, could accident claims solicitors covering Salford help me?
Unfortunately, not every driver stops at the scene of an accident. While this is a criminal offence, if the accident has caused damage to property or personal injury, there are people who break the law in this manner. If you were injured in a hit and run accident and the police could not trace the driver, you would not be able to make a claim against their insurance company. However, you could make a claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. We could help with your claim.
