Examples Of Common Types Of Personal Injury Claims

Accidents and injuries can vary a lot, so it is important that you are aware of the fact that no matter what injury or illness you’ve suffered, if it was someone else’s fault, you might be able to launch a compensation claim. Below we’ve listed some of the more common types of claim we see and hear about, but it’s essential you don’t worry if you can’t see yours here, as we’re sure we’d be able to help with that too.

Can I Claim For An Accident At Work?

There are a wide variety of industries operating in the area, and you may be looking to secure the services of a no win no fee lawyer for a work accident claim in the area. There are a wide variety of reasons your employer might have failed to provide a safe working place, such as not providing the proper PPE, failing to risk assess you, not delivering the proper training, or not maintaining work equipment to the standard they should. If they have not maintained the work area, such as clearing trip hazards, or not signposting or clearing up spillages then you could fall and hurt yourself too, leading to a claim. You need not worry about claiming from an employer in these cases, as they are required to have insurance to pay your compensation from, and there is legislation in place to prevent them from treating you differently because of your claim.

Serious Injury Cases

If you’re looking for the best personal injury lawyer to deal with serious injury claims, then you need to know that they’ve practised this sort of case before. The reason behind this is that they will need to fully understand not only the current costs and suffering you’re experiencing right now, but will also need to fight for future costs in terms of suffering and financial costs relating to the injuries you have right now. This could be future care costs, future loss of earnings, future physiotherapy, home adaptations and more. While a more inexperienced lawyer may think they have all the bases covered when it comes to compensation for serious injuries, a more experienced personal injury lawyer could see where other costs could be incurred, which could ensure a larger payment for compensation.

Road Traffic Accident Cases And Claims

Whether you’re a motorcyclist that has been knocked off their bike by a car, you’ve been hit by a foreign driver, or been in a taxi accident, you’re sure to have suffered injuries that are best, painful but at worst, life changing. Road traffic accident claim events happen on roads all across the country and while most people go on to recover entirely, it may have cost them in terms of time off work and other expenses while they were recovering. However, in some cases, injuries can alter life for that person forever, and they will require funds to adjust to their new life after a road traffic accident. Whatever type of accident you’ve been in, whether on country lanes, or a motorway or busy bypass, it’s essential that you seek compensation from the person at fault to help you to move on any way you can from the incident. Your compensation payout should not only cover the physical harms done to you but if any trauma has affected you mentally, this should be covered as well.

Time Limits To Make Burton Upon Trent Personal Injury Claims

It is not only a one-time incident that can be taken into account, however, and while many personal injury claims fall within a three-year time limit. So, you may have thought you were outside the limits for claiming when, in fact, you could still make a claim. Our trained advisors would be able to advise you of your limit when you call us, but you might want to read the rest of the page below before calling so that you don’t miss something that could potentially answer one or more of your questions below.
