Injury

One of the few things that we can all be sure of is that, at sometime in our life we will be involved in a personal injury accident claim. It could minor including slipping on the pavement, taking a fall or tripping on debris left on the floor however it can also be a major event including road traffic accidents which often endanger life or an accident at work due to hazards that can pose a risk of serious injury.

Claims

It is very clear that the potential for a personal injury accident claim can be found anywhere and at anytime and despite taking relevant safety precautions, the chances of meeting with an accident still remain. If you are the victim of an accident and another person was to blame, there usually the opportunity to bring a claim for compensation for personal injury against the negligent third party.

Negligence

In a personal injury accident claim it is necessary for negligence to be proved in order to establish the liability of a 3rd party to pay compensation. In its most simple terms negligence is defined as a failure to act in a reasonable manner. It can involve doing what a reasonable man would not do or failing to do what a reasonable man would do. To succeed in a personal injury accident claim it is also necessary to show that the third party owed you a duty of care, that the duty was breached and that damage or loss ensued directly attributable to that breach.

Compensation

Compensation that may be awarded in a personal injury accident claim is divided into two main categories for ease of assessment. The first category is ‘special damages’ which is compensation that can be calculated accurately on a mathematical basis and the second category is ‘general damages’ which is compensation that needs a degree of assessment. In addition there are sub-categories for ‘interest’ which can be claimed at different rates and for different periods dependent on which category it fits in to. Futher more there are ‘future losses’ and other hybrid items of loss that may need a combination of mathematical calculation and astute assessment.
