However, you will have an exceptional chance of getting compensation if the accident was not your fault.

Your rights and eligibility to claim compensation explained.
First things first, you need to decide whether you have the basis for a personal injury claim. It is important to recognise that personal injuries can occur in many different ways. You may have a bad reaction to a faulty product, you could be the victim of a road traffic accident, you may have slipped on an unmarked wet floor – the scenarios really are endless. Instead of thinking about the type of accident, what you really need to ask yourself is…
- Was the injury your fault?
- Did it occur in the past three years?
- Did you receive medical attention?
If you answer ‘no’ to the first question and ‘yes’ to the other two questions, you are likely to be eligible for compensation. Nonetheless, to get further clarification regarding your chances all you need to do is get in touch with Legal Expert.
Checklist to help you find personal injury solicitors for Barrow-in-Furness
Claims are made for a whole host of different reasons. From product liability cases, to food poisoning, to car crashes, to medical negligence, to construction accidents, the scenarios vary dramatically. Nonetheless, there is one thing that all claims have in common, and this is the need to have a good solicitor fighting your corner. Read on to discover what your solicitor needs to have:
Experience
It is always advisable to go for a personal injury lawyer that boasts a significant degree of experience. The last thing you want is to be someone’s practice project. You want to be safe in the knowledge that they have provided their services for plenty of personal injury victims time and time before.
Great reputation
Read reviews that have been left by other people that have used the services of the solicitor in question. What have they had to say about their experience? Were they happy? Would they recommend the solicitor? Did they have any complaints? This is the best way to get an honest assessment into the service you are likely to experience yourself.
Track record
How many cases has the personal injury solicitor handled? How many have they won?
Good communication
It is imperative that your solicitor communicates with you frequently and explains everything in a way that is easy for you to understand. The last thing you want to do is feel left in the dark. No one wants to have to make phone call after phone call in order to merely get an update regarding the progress of their case.
Should I trust online solicitor reviews?
When it comes to reading an online solicitor review, make sure you use an independent review platform so that you can be certain of the authenticity. Moreover, recognise that reviews are only part of the narrowing down process. Your first conversation with the company in question will be incredibly telling.
Location vs experience
A lot of people assume they can only work with Barrow in Furness personal injury solicitors in the actual area. This is not the case. You can work with anyone based in the UK, meaning you can choose experience over the location.
Modern technology allows almost every procedure to take place remotely. Things like video chats and emails can be used to discuss your claim in detail and to keep you updated on the process.
Compensation claims that we can conduct
If you have been injured, we can help you secure compensation. Use the sections below to find out more about some of the claims we handle. Please know that we can handle many more types of claims than these. This is just a handful of some of the most common cases.
I had a workplace accident – can I claim compensation?
No matter where you work, whether you have a job at a warehouse or you work in an office, your employer has a responsibility to ensure the working environment is safe for you and all your fellow employees. The law places this duty upon them. Yes, there are working areas that tend to be more dangerous than others, such as constructions sites.
However, the truth is, accidents can happen anywhere. Therefore, if you have suffered a workplace injury because of poor health and safety, you will be entitled to compensation.
So, what happens if you have suffered an injury in the workplace, what do you do next? It is important to gather as much information as possible. You will need to see a medical professional, as there will need to be proof that you have received medical attention if you are to make a successful personal injury claim.
You also need to report your accident in the workplace so that your employer can make a record of it. This is a critical part of personal injury law.
I was injured in a road traffic accident – can I claim compensation?
Have you been injured in a road traffic accident? Our personal injury solicitors have years of experience when it comes to personal injury claims and car accidents. We have helped those injured while driving, cycling, and on their motorbike. You can also claim if you were a passenger or if you were merely walking and minding your own business when someone drove into you.
No matter what has happened, whether someone was speeding or not paying attention while driving, we will make sure you get the maximum amount of compensation that is available. For more information about your case and the claims process, please do not hesitate to give our personal injury claims team a call.
