Our Research Into Personal Injury Claims Against Bradford Council

A Legal Expert investigation found that personal injury claims have cost Bradford Council £342,866.04 in the past year.

The local authority confirmed through a response to a Freedom of Information request that 146 personal injury claims were made from April 2022 to April 2023. 

Out of those claims, trips over pavements were the most common type of accident. 

The lead causes for people claiming against the council were as follows:

Bradford Council has a duty of care to ensure that highways, spaces and premises they control are reasonably safe for visitors. Additionally, they must ensure that their employees are safe from harm during their work practices. 

Following an injury caused by an accident where a council has breached their duty of care, you might be ready to claim personal injury compensation. Our advisors are available 24/7 to answer your questions and could connect you with one of our expert solicitors.

What Types Of Claims Could Our Personal Injury Solicitors For Bradford Help With?

To use the services of our personal injury solicitors for Bradford and make a compensation claim, you need to satisfy three eligibility criteria. These are:

  • That a third party owed you a duty of care
  • This duty was breached by the third party
  • You suffered an injury as a result

An example could be an accident at work. Your employer owes you a duty to take reasonable and practicable steps to keep you safe at work under the Health and Safety At Work etc. Act 1974. This could involve giving you adequate training. If no such training is given, this could be a breach of their duty and if you were injured due to this lack of training, a claim can potentially be made.

There are other common duties, including the duty that road users owe to each other. To meet this duty, they must use their vehicles so that they do not cause harm. They must adhere to the Highway Code and the Road Traffic Act 1988.

Additionally, those who are in control of a public place owe a duty of care under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. They must take necessary steps to ensure the reasonable safety of members of the public who visit that space. If they fail to do so and you are injured as a result, you may be able to make a public liability claim.

Other duties and potential personal injury claims can be made. In general, if you have been injured in an accident and it was not your fault, we would like to hear from you to see if we can help you claim compensation.

Personal Injury Solicitors For Bradford – Could They Help Me After 3 Years?

There are certain circumstances in which personal injury solicitors for Bradford could help with personal injury claims after 3 years.

While the Limitation Act 1980 states that the limitation period for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of an accident, there are some exceptions that might apply.

For example, if the person injured lacks the mental capacity to make their own claim, the limitation period would be frozen indefinitely. During this time, a litigation friend could make a claim on their behalf. This should be someone that will act in the best interests of the claimant, such as a parent or solicitor, for example. If the injured party were to recover this mental capacity, and a claim was not made for them, the 3-year time limit will reinstate from the date of recovery.

In cases involving children, the limitation period would be paused until the child turns 18. During the pause, a litigation friend could act on the child’s behalf and bring forward a claim. If no claim has been made by the injured party’s 18th birthday, they will have 3 years from this date to start their own claim.
