Injury

People do get injured by the negligence of others. There is just no way around this home truth. And when it does happen what do you do? Well, that’s where we come in to offer free legal advice on accident compensation claims. The simplest and most straightforward cases usually settle for a minimum £1,000 plus of course any legal charges which are paid by the negligent third party or their insurers. Damages that can be awarded are in fact unlimited and depend on the severity of the injury, the recovery period and whether or not there are any long term consequences. Whilst a simple claim may take less than a year to resolve, some of the more serious cases could take several years to settle with the limiting factor usually being the availability of specialist medical evidence for a final prognosis for the injuries.

In the United Kingdom the vast majority of personal injury cases have a value less than £5,000 and most of these involve road traffic accidents in which the claimant has suffered whiplash injury to the neck or an injury wherein a particular painful strain is inflicted on the victim’s lower back. About 10% of cases dealt with by the County Court or the High Court eventually settle for more than £5,000 and these usually involve multiple bone fractures, long term disability or accidents that cause very severe injuries. If you have suffered from any type of injury in an incident at work, on the road or as a result of a trip, slip or fall we offer free legal advice on accident compensation claims with absolutely no further obligation.

So what should you do if you have an accident that caused you personal injury? The first thing is to consult a solicitor to get free legal advice on accident compensation claims and take with you a detailed written statement in regards to how the accident happened. You should also make sure that the accident was reported and logged in an accident book or in a police report. You should preserve any evidence of negligence, including location and injury photographs and record any witnesses personal details. All of the evidence should protected and kept safe.

Contrary to popular opinion and the widespread erroneous press reports of a UK ‘compensation culture’ there is in fact no general increase in the number or value of claims for compensation for personal injury. This is born out by statistics presented by the governments Compensation Recovery Unit and the Department of Works and Pensions showing that the recordable claims are actually decreasing on a year by year basis.

There is no requirement to fund or finance your claim and win or lose there is no charge.
