Recovering damages after an accident
Most people have heard of injury claims for compensation and may even know somebody who has successfully made one and received a sum of money to compensate them for the trauma and financial difficulties that can result from an accident. Owing to the advances in technology and medicine, nowadays life is nowhere near as dangerous as it was for our ancestors but this does not mean that it is completely safe. However many precautions people take and no matter how safety-conscious they are, there is always the possibility that someone else may make a mistake so although we can minimise the chances of an accident happening to us we cannot control everything in the world around us. Luckily help is at hand if you are unfortunate enough to be the victim of an accident that was not your fault. Hospital fees can be recovered and a claim can be made for any loss of earnings due to injury. One thing that stops many people from pursuing legal action is the cost of making a personal injury claim, including fees for solicitors and those of lawyers who are able to represent you in court if your case cannot be settled beforehand.
We can work it out
When accidents occur in the workplace people can be reluctant to take any action because they do not wish to create a situation where they are in conflict with their employer and may possibly cause the company they work for to lose a lot of money. This should not be a problem though as by law, all companies operating in the United Kingdom must have insurance to cover them for such events. This means that even if you are successful and are awarded a large sum of cash, your employer’s insurance company will have to foot the bill so it should not cause any financial difficulties to the firm that you are working for. The type of injuries that any person might suffer at work will depend to a large extent on the nature of that work but for manual labourers, making a back injury claim is one of the tasks they are most commonly faced with after being involved in an accident at their employer’s premises. We have a lot of experience in this area and are able to help people pursue legal action with the minimum of fuss and often at no cost to them unless we win.
Trouble on the road
Outside of the workplace, the activity that most people associate with the possibility of an accident occurring is probably driving. Although roads in the UK are built to a high standard when compared to those around the world, and the driving test is quite stringent, human error is something that cannot be eradicated completely so it is quite likely that at some point during a person’s life, they will be involved in a crash of some kind. Fortunately most accidents are relatively minor but for those who are involved in a more serious collision, we can help to negotiate the legal maze that often awaits them. After a car accident, making a head injury claim may be the last thing on your mind as a crash can be very traumatic, but it could result in you being awarded a substantial amount of money so is well worth looking into. As long as the other driver involved was at fault rather than yourself then we will most likely be able to take your case on a no-win, no fee basis. This means that unless we succeed in recovering damages there will be no charge for the time we spend helping you.
Public places
Sometimes we can injure ourselves in the most unlikely of places. Taking a gentle stroll around the local park is normally an uneventful way of relaxing but there is always the chance that you could slip and fall, resulting in a stay at the nearest hospital. This is something that we hope never happens to you but if it does then it is possible to sue the local authority responsible for the area in question and recover any costs with a neck injury claim or one for whichever part of your body has sustained an injury. In such cases it is necessary to prove negligence on the part of the local council or another member of the public in order to be awarded compensation. Tripping on an uneven section of pavement is one example where liability can usually be clearly demonstrated. The local authority has a responsibility to maintain pavements and other areas so that they do not represent a hazard to the people that use them on a daily basis. If you are unsure whether you have a valid case or not then please feel free to contact one of our advisors to discuss the details of your accident.
Expert help at no cost to you
It may sound too good to be true but we really are able to offer our services completely free of charge. The reason we can do this is because if you make a successful application for damages against a third party then they will be responsible for paying us. A passenger injury claim involving whiplash could cost a fair amount in legal fees and medical expenses in order to prove your case so it is a big advantage to know that whatever the outcome, you will not be required to foot the bill. Many people think that the legal system in the UK is a fair one but unless you can afford to use it then this is largely irrelevant. Our organisation has been able to help many people who have been involved in an accident to pursue legal action with no financial risk on their part. We are very good at what we do and carefully evaluate each case we are presented with before making a recommendation as to the best course of action for our clients to take. Because our fees are only paid when we are successful you can be assured that we always do our best.
Out of the blue
The majority of accidents are completely unpredictable which is why they can cause so much stress to victims. Making a pedestrian injury claim after being injured as a result of a road accident in nearby traffic is something that most people do not have uppermost in their minds when walking around their local town centre, so can be hard to deal with if the need arises. Our team of specialists are there to guide you every step of the way when making a claim and are fully aware of the trauma that you may have suffered. The aim of our organisation is to get the best possible results for our clients whilst causing the minimum of disturbance to their lives. We believe that immediately after being injured people should be left in peace as far as is possible, to aid a quick recovery. We only contact our clients to obtain essential information and apprise them of the status of any case that they have asked us to handle for them. There is no need to thumb through the pages of your local telephone directory looking for solicitors to make a personal injury claim as we have access to expert lawyers.
