When Could I Make A Personal Injury Claim?
If you have been injured in an accident in Guildford, you might be eligible to make a personal injury claim.
To be able to make a personal injury claim, you must be able to illustrate the following:
- You were owed a duty of care.
- There was a breach of this duty.
- This breach led to you suffering injuries. A breach of duty of care that results in an injury is known as negligence.
This means you might be able to make a claim following an accident at work, a public place accident, or a road traffic accident as long as you can establish that negligence occurred.
Our personal injury solicitors for Guildford accidents could help you with your particular claim, as they have many years of experience handling various types of personal injury claims.

Personal Injury Solicitors For Guildford Road Traffic Accidents
All road users have a duty of care to use the roads in a way that prevents harm or injury to themselves and others. To comply with this duty, it is essential that they adhere to the relevant parts of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and The Highway Code.
If a driver is speeding, not paying due care and attention, or driving under the influence of alcohol, they have committed an offence and are liable should injury or damage occur on the roads.
If you have been unfortunate enough to have sustained an injury in a road traffic accident (RTA) then you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation. Whatever your injuries may be, our personal injury solicitors for Guildford are here to help you in your attempts to be awarded the compensation that you deserve.
Road traffic accident claims cover a wide range of incidents. This can include claims for car accidents, motorbike accidents and public transport accidents. Victims can be drivers, passengers or pedestrians and regardless of the circumstances, if you have been the victim of a road traffic accident then you should get in touch with our speciality RTA accident solicitors for Guildford to see if you have a valid claim for compensation.
Accidents In A Public Place – How Can Solicitors For Guildford Help?
Whether you are in the street, park or another public place in Guildford such as a shop, supermarket or restaurant, you should be free to go about your normal business without the risk of injury.
Anyone who is in control of a public place (occupiers) are obliged to take steps to ensure that everyone lawfully on their premises is reasonably safe from injury. This is their duty of care under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. If they fail to ensure the public’s reasonable safety (for example, if they fail to conduct any risk assessments on the premises), this is a breach of their duty.
Solicitors For Guildford Accident At Work Claims
Our personal injury solicitors for Guildford have significant experience with handling accident at work claims. So, if you’ve been injured in the workplace, our team are ready to help you seek compensation.
All employers have a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of their employees. The exact steps an employer will need to take to keep their employees safe will vary depending on the work being carried out. So, for example, construction workers require sufficient protective clothing whereas office staff do not.
To help ensure employers are legally compliant, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Britain’s national regulator for workplace health and safety, provide guidance on topics including performing risk assessments and providing training.
