Work Injuries And Accidents In Swadlincote

If employers correctly follow health and safety guidelines as far as industry standards are concerned, the risk of accidents and injuries at work should be significantly reduced. However, it is important that we recognise that there are some work industries, such as building, construction and forestry which have a higher chance of accidents and injuries taking place.

However, even in these industries workplace accidents could still be prevented. This may be through better training or by following correct maintenance and safety measures. Injuries could be caused by;

  • Workplace equipment is not being correctly maintained.
  • Accidents in workplace vehicles, such as a forklift truck.
  • Trips and falls are caused by badly placed equipment, trailing wires or spillages.
  • Structures such as racking in a warehouse or scaffolding on the outside of a building being incorrectly assembled.
  • Being exposed to toxic materials.

Following even those simple steps could help to reduce risks in the workplace, such as preventing falling accidents by having the right equipment or signage in place.

These guidelines are set out by the Health and Safety Executive. This organisation (along with the UK Statistics Authority) also record the number of accidents and injuries which have happened in the workplace. This table includes local area workplace injury statistics.

Injuries In A Public Place

There are several types of accidents that you could claim compensation for with a personal injury solicitor which could have happened in many different areas. This is one such category of an accident. Because of the many different areas which could be considered to be public places (places where you could come and go as a member of the public) we have listed some of the different circumstances below.

  • An accident in the street or in a similar public space operated by your local authority.
  • An accident in a public park.
  • Accidents in shops and shopping centres.
  • Workplace accidents.
  • Accidents at holiday and caravan parks.
  • Accidents caused by potholes.

If your circumstances are not listed above, our accident claims solicitors covering Swadlincote could still help you. In order to be eligible to pursue a claim it must be proven that those responsible for such public spaces have acted in a negligent way breaching their duty of care towards you which has lead to your accident and subsequently caused you avoidable suffering.

Slipping Injuries And Falling Accidents

Slip and fall accidents could happen in many different places and there may be many different parties who could be responsible for them happening. When you first talk to your personal injury solicitor, they may look at who the responsible party is.

If your injury happened in a building that is open to the public, such as a public swimming pool or gym, if it can be proven that the owner or operator of the facility is responsible for your accident took place due to negligence, maybe they failed to adhere to health and safety rules then you may be eligible to pursue a claim for damages. Similarly, a retailer or restaurant would be responsible for your accident taking place on their premises if your accident happened due to a breach in the duty of care they must have.

It is vital that those operating a public space or owners of public properties always ensure that their space is safe for the public to use and that there should be no foreseen hazards left without attention.

Medical Negligence Injuries And Illness

If you have been harmed due to medical malpractice or clinical negligence our panel of accident claims solicitors could help you.

Medical malpractice and negligence come in many different forms. It could present as being given the incorrect treatment or an error in surgery. It could also present in your medical condition being misdiagnosed or you experiencing negligence by a dentist. What is the same in these different circumstances is that the medical professional made a mistake which they should not have done.

To make a claim there are two things which you need to prove. First, that the practitioner in question is at fault. Secondly, that harm was caused which could have been avoided. A medical negligence solicitor may want to establish that another health care practitioner of the same standards would have not acted in a similar way given the same circumstances therefore the harm would not have be inflected on the patient.

For accident claims advice related to medical negligence, please contact our specialist team.

Criminal Injury Compensation

You or someone you know may have been victim to a criminal act that caused you harm, you could make a criminal injury compensation claim against the person who caused this harm but they would need the means to be able to cover any monetary damages.

Our panel of accident claims solicitors understand that having been the victim of a criminal injury could leave you with physical or psychological consequences, or sometimes both. We will dispense our services to you in a sensitive way and will strive to get you the best outcome for your case.

In the event that the person responsible for your injuries suffered in a criminal attack or assault does not have the means to be able to cover compensation damages our solicitors could help you to complete a claim through the CICA which is the Governments Criminal Injury Compensation Authority who are there to provide compensation for victims of criminal injury.

There is a criterion that your case may need to meet.

  • You suffered physical and/or mentally injuries.
  • That the incident in question took place in the criminal injury compensation time limit of 2 years ago.
  • That the incident was reported to the police as soon as possible.

With a shorter criminal injury compensation time limit of two years, don’t delay in starting your claim.
