Injury Types
 
Car accidents If you were the driver of a car or on a motorcycle or bicycle or you were a pedestrian hit by a vehicle. Your accident falls into this category and you have a potential claim against the person that hit you or caused you to have the accident.

Even if the other person hits you then drives away ( hit and run ) or is identified but has no insurance, a personal injury claim can still be made through the Motor Insurers Bureau. Passenger in a vehicle, although technically, this is still a road traffic accident, it may be that the driver of the vehicle you were travelling in was at fault. We can deal with a personal injury claim on your behalf whether it is the fault of your driver or the other party's fault.

Accident at work These happen for various reasons. Perhaps equipment/machinery was faulty or a floor was wet, slippery or greasy. Maybe insufficient or no training was given, such as correct lifting of materials.

Increasingly, in this country, we are seeing a steady rise in the number of Stress Related Illness claims and many of these arise as a result of Stress at Work. In some circumstances, a compensation claim can be made if it can be proved that your employer is the cause of the stress and that the employer has been made aware of stress related problems but has not acted on the information, resulting in a deterioration of an employee's health.

Slip/trip This is technically known as Public Liability. Perhaps you tripped on a council pavement or fell in a hole in the road. Steps or ramps or floors in public places are often the causes of personal injury.

Industrial Disease Sometimes, chemicals or fumes or dust causes personal injury. This may be immediate or over a period of years. In any case, let us seek advice for you to claim for workers compensation.

Defective Goods injury If you buy an item and it malfunctions, causing personal injury, you may be able to make a personal injury claim. Examples of this might be a product that breaks whilst you are using it. A chair that collapses for instance. Provided it can be proved that you were not at fault ( misuse of the goods ), a personal injury claim can be made.

Personal Injuries on Holiday Sadly people are often injured on holiday. This may be due to food poisoning or faulty materials in your accomodation, a poorly maintained hire vehicle, or equipment for diving, etc and many other causes.

Assult/criminal injury Sometimes our clients have been the victims of unprovoked attacks. Provided we can establish the identity of the attacker, a personal injury claim can be made.

Medical/dental negligence This can be a complicated area and a difficult ( not to mention very slow ) process to resolve. Provided full proof can be obtained, we can deal with such cases.

Other Things You Can Claim For In addition to the personal injury, there may well be other losses suffered. The following list are the most common losses or additional costs incurred:

loss or reduction of earnings prescription charges and medical fees damage to property eg: clothing, glasses, etc insurance policy excess vehicle damage / repair costs public transport costs eg: bus or taxi fares travelling expenses costs of assistance for household chores cost of care and assistance in the home adapted accommodation therapies out of pocket expenses such as telephone calls, letters, etc.
