Claims For An Accident At Work In Telford

As we have seen above, people can be and are injured in the workplace in Telford in circumstances where accident solicitors covering Telford could help. Whilst some working environments, job roles or types of employment may be more dangerous than others, a simple observation is that people could potentially be harmed in any workplace if an employer is not taking the appropriate health and safety steps.

The UK has strong legislation in place to protect people whilst they are at work. Whether you work in a single location or have to travel around to different places, your employer has a duty to ensure that you can do so safely and free from harm. They are required to follow certain laws and guidelines. They must provide you with any requisite personal protective equipment (known as PPE) and train you in how to safely go about your job.

If an employer has not taken these steps or if they have failed to prevent an accident which could reasonably have been prevented, they could owe you compensation for any harm caused to you. For advice on work accident claims in Telford, talk to Accident Claims UK.

Telford Road Traffic Accident Claims

Have you been injured in an accident on the road either as a driver, passenger or a pedestrian? Do you think that you have a valid Telford road traffic accident claim? If so, our accident claims solicitors could assist you to get the compensation you may deserve. Road users owe each other a certain duty of care to observe the highway code and not to cause accidents through avoidable and reckless behaviour. If someone else caused a vehicle accident in which you were injured you could claim compensation from them. For example, if you were involved in a road accident caused by another driver who was over the legal alcohol limit, you could claim compensation for injuries which you sustained.

Telford road traffic accident claims could be made if you were injured as a driver of a car, whilst a passenger in any vehicle, or when riding either a bicycle or a motorbike. You could even claim if you were appropriately crossing the street as a pedestrian. Our accident claims solicitors could assist you in making a car accident claim.

Tripping, Slipping And Falling Accidents

There are many different locations and circumstances in which you could be harmed by tripping over or slipping on a floor because of another person’s negligence. Slips and falls could happen when you are walking down the street, whilst walking through a park, in other public spaces or on private land. They can happen in many of the same circumstances and locations as other forms of public place accidents (a category which we shall look at later).

To be able to make a claim with accident solicitors covering Telford for injuries resulting from slipping or falling over you will need to show that someone was responsible for the circumstances causing your accident. A broken or damaged floor may not have been repaired by a swimming pool, or spillages may not have been cleaned up at a restaurant. If you require further accident claims advice with regards to this type of claim, talk to our team.

Injuries Caused By Violence, Assaults And Abuse

In this guide we look at circumstances in which people are harmed due to another person’s negligence, however there may also be circumstances where someone deliberately harms you, such as assaulting you. Whilst it may not be your initial concern if you have been the victim of a violent crime, you could still be owed compensation. Victims of assaults, abuse and other criminal injuries could claim compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority or CICA.

Such claims can sometimes be more complicated than more standard accident claims. However, our pane of accident claims solicitors includes those who are versed in such cases and who could help you.

Accidents And Injuries In Public

Accidents could happen in any place and at any time. Whilst we are out and about travelling to or from work, shopping or otherwise in public spaces we could be injured. If you are injured in the street, whilst in a shop, at the park, or in any other public space, you could make a public liability claim against the operator or owner of that space. It will need to be shown that your accident, and the resulting injuries, were caused by negligence on the part of the party you wish to make a claim against.

For example, if you were injured whilst walking through a shopping centre because a floor was left wet and slippery after cleaning and this was not signposted, you may be able to make an accident compensation claim against the shopping centres public liability insurance. Similarly, if you tripped over because a council had failed to repair a broken pavement which they were aware of and had time to act on, you could have a claim. For information on filing a accident claim for an injury in public, see this guide.

Clinical Malpractice

Clinical malpractice or medical negligence are terms which are used by solicitors, lawyers and medical professionals to describe circumstances in which a doctor (or other healthcare provider) has been negligent in the provision of care to a patient. This may arise as a doctor not providing you with the right course of treatment or you being dispensed the wrong medication whilst in a hospital. With medical care being so varied there are numerous ways in which a mistake (which was avoidable) could be made. In order for you to be able to make a medical accident claim it will need to be shown that as a result of this avoidable error you were harmed.

You may have suffered an illness or injury, or an existing condition (such as cancer) may have become worse due to a misdiagnosis. There are three things which an accident claims solicitor will need to show.

  1. That you were under the care of this professional or healthcare provider. This means they owed you a ‘duty of care’.
  2. That a mistake which could have been avoided was made. This constitutes a breach in the above duty.
  3. That your harm was caused by this.

How our accident claims solicitors covering Telford could help you

When you were injured in your accident, your first thought probably wasn’t anything to do with claiming compensation. However, as time has passed, you may now be thinking that you should seek damages to cover your pain, suffering and any financial losses. Therefore, you might decide to start looking for accident claims solicitors in Telford. While you will find many solicitors in the area you should ask two questions about how they work:

  1. Do they provide No Win No Fee services?
  2. Do they only handle personal injury claims and not concentrate on other areas of the law?

Here at Accident Claims UK, we work exclusively on personal injury claims and nothing else.

Helping with your claim

If your case is accepted, will connect you with one of our accident claims solicitors covering Telford. They’ll review the details of your case with you to ensure they understand how your injuries happened and how they have affected you. After that, they’ll gather supporting evidence such as medical records, incident reports and witness statements.

Our service includes dealing with the defendant’s legal team on your behalf. By doing so, we can prevent you from being overwhelmed by complex legal or medical terminology.

Getting the compensation you deserve

You can rest assured that we won’t simply settle your case when we receive a compensation offer.
