Work-Related Accidents

Under UK laws and written legislation, all employers are legally bound to provide a safe working environment for their employees to the best of their ability. If they fail to do so and an employee is injured, then a work-related accidents claim could possibly be made. The Health and Safety At Work Act 1974 as well as other legislation is their to protect employees at work. The HSE sets out guidelines that employers are supposed to adhere to in order to fulfil their duty of care to take care of their employees safety and welfare, examples of some of the requirements are as follows:

  • To provide a working environment that is safe.
  • To give appropriate safety training such as lifting and handling technique training to employees where necessary to ensure they can carry out work duties in a safe manner.
  • To provide the correct personal protective equipment and clothing when needed.
  • To carry our regular risk assessments and put in place procedures for any potential hazards.
  • To regularly check and maintain machinery and equipment for safe use.

If you have been injured at work due to the negligence of your employer, contact Accident Claims UK for more accident at work claims advice.

Road Traffic Accidents

Road traffic accidents can happen in numerous ways, you may be crossing the road as a pedestrian and get hit by a vehicle, you could be driving your car and someone pulls out in front of you, maybe you were a passenger in a car that crashed or perhaps a motorcyclist that was involved in a collision, regardless, if you are injured on the road and it was someone else’s fault, you may have grounds to make a claim. Unfortunately, road traffic accidents happen everyday and sometimes the injuries can be minor and others those involved are not so lucky. Our panel of accident claims solicitors covering Warrington, could assist you in making your claim for compensation.

If a loved one has been involved in a fatal collision caused by careless driving, you could potentially also make a claim, please see death by careless driving claims guide.

Slip, Fall Or Trip Claims

Whether you have tripped over an obstruction in a walkway at work, slipped on an untreated icy pavement or sprained your ankle due to a pothole when crossing the road, if you have been injured due to a third party’s negligence, you could potentially be able to claim compensation for your injury. Injuries from slip, trip and falls range from minor to severe and can sometimes have a devastating effect on someone’s livelihood. For example, if someone who drives for a living trips on a broken paving slab on a public footpath and breaks their arm, they will not be able to work and therefore may lose income which could lead to all sorts of financial problems. Filing a compensation claim against those responsible could give them the financial support they need until they can get back to work.

Injuries from a slip, trip or fall could possibly include:

  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Sprains and strains
  • Cuts and bruises
  • Concussion
  • Paralysis – If fallen from a height such as off of an unsecure scaffold for example, thankfully these accidents and injuries are rare.

If you have been injured from a slip, trip or fall caused by another’s negligence and you’d like further information about filing a personal injury claim, contact Accident Claims UK today.

Criminal Injuries Compensation

If you have been harmed as a result of criminal activity, or someone has harmed you deliberately, our accident claims solicitors covering Warrington, maybe able to assist you in claiming compensation. Criminal injury claims aren’t restricted to just physical injuries, but can also be made for psychological trauma as well such as shock and PTSD. However, unlike a physical injury which is normally apparent straight away, psychological injuries such as PTSD may not be apparent until days, weeks or even months after the event. In theses cases, the personal injury claims time limit will not start until the PTSD has been diagnosed.

If you have been the victim of criminal activity such as assault and suffered an injury as a result, but the criminal responsible has not been identified or caught, you can still make a claim for compensation thanks to the government funded Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

Accidents In Public Places

A public space accounts for any space a member of the public is allowed such as the street, a park, a leisure centre, public library, car park or shopping centre to name a few. If an accident occurs in a public space due to the negligence of someone else and you are injured, you may be able to make a claim. Depending on where the accident took place, the party liable for your accident will vary, for instance, if you have tripped over an uneven path on the street then the local authority may be responsible, but if you have been injured in the car park of a shopping centre, it may be a private land owner who is responsible. Regardless of where the accident has taken place, if it was someone else’s fault who owed you a duty of care and you have sustained an injury, our accident claims solicitors could help.

Here is our useful guide on claiming compensation if you have been injured in a public place.

Instances Of Clinical Negligence

If you have suffered unnecessary harm due to the negligence of a medical professional such as a doctor, dentist, surgeon or nurse for example, then you may have grounds to launch a claim for compensation. Clinical negligence, or medical negligence as its also known, can result in both physical injuries and mental trauma. Medical professionals owe their patients a duty of care to provide a minimum standard of care at all times. If they fail to do this and act negligently and someone is injured, then they will be in breach of their duty of care and found liable. Sometimes injuries and health problems can occur as a side effect of a medical procedure or treatment as many carry a number of risks, and in these cases, negligence may not play a role and so a compensation claim may be invalid. However, if you have suffered an injury that could have been prevented had you received the correct care, then a claim for compensation could potentially be valid.

Regardless of whether you have received negligent medical care through the NHS or privately, if you have been the victim of clinical negligence, contact our team for more information.

No Win No Fee Accident Claims Solicitors Covering Warrington

Establishing that you have a valid cause for claiming compensation is the first thing you need to do. The second thing is to decide how you are going to make your claim. Many people opt to use a personal injury solicitor but are worried about doing so because of the cost of legal fees. However, using a no win no fee solicitor takes away the stress and worry of affordability. This is because a no win no fee policy, otherwise known as a conditional fee agreement, allows the solicitor to go ahead with the claim with the understanding that their legal fees will only be paid for when the claim concludes as being successful and the claimant receives their settlement. If the case is lost, then you do not pay your solicitor for any of the legal work they have undertaken.

Would accident claims solicitors covering Warrington assist me if I was in part at fault for an accident?

Were you injured in an accident that you thought was your fault. It may be worth looking into whether someone else could also shoulder some of the blame for the accident. Some claims aren’t clear cut when it comes to who is at fault. Particularly when it comes to road traffic accidents, there could be fault by more than one party. If this is the case and someone else could be held partially liable for the incident, you could still receive compensation, albeit a reduced amount to reflect your portion of the blame. Such claims could be complicated however, and it could be wise to seek out personal injury solicitors covering Warrington with years of experience when you look to make such a claim. As well as checking into whether the lawyer is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and has good reviews, you might want to ask if they’ve dealt with split liability claims before and whether they’ve got a good track record in getting claimants compensation. In addition, you could ask if they could offer you free legal advice on your claim, to make sure you’ve got a good chance of having a successful claim. Claiming under no win no fee terms could also be wise for this type of claim, as this could reduce your financial risk somewhat.

Could accident claims solicitors covering Warrington help me claim for a child that has been injured?

Whether your child was injured in an accident at school, in a public park or as a passenger in a car accident, you might want to know if you could claim on their behalf. The two main options when it comes to doing so are to wait until your child turns of age, and allow them to claim for themselves. Or, you could claim for them up until they turn 18, as their litigation friend. What this means is that you could instruct a solicitor and make a claim for them, making decisions such as whether to accept a compensation offer. Once a compensation payout came through, it could be put in a trust for the child to access when they came of age. However, if they require payment of medical costs, for example, some of the monies could be released by the court. To speak to us about how such claims work, call our team. We’d be happy to provide you with guidance and support.
