Making Personal Injury Claims In Rochdale

To be connected with one of our personal injury solicitors for Rochdale, you must show that you have suffered negligence. Negligence is when a breached duty of care causes an injury.

Here are the times where you may be owed a duty of care:

• At work, your employer owes you a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. They must take reasonable steps to ensure your safety when you are working.
• In public places, the occupier of that place (whoever is in control) owes you a duty of care under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. They must take steps to ensure your reasonable safety on their premises as a lawful public visitor.
• On the roads, all road users owe a duty of care to each other. They must comply with the rules in The Highway Code and the Road Traffic Act 1988 to ensure that everyone on the road is at a minimal risk of injury.

As such, the personal injury claims eligibility criteria is as follows:

1. You were owed a duty of care either from a road user, occupier, or employer.
2. They breached their duty of care.
3. You were injured as a result.

So, if you have been injured in Rochdale and can prove the above criteria, please contact us today. After assessing your circumstances, our team may be able to connect you with one of our No Win No Fee solicitors for Rochdale.

Finding The Best Personal Injury Solicitors For Rochdale

Throughout your case, you will be working closely with your solicitor. They will be privy to personal details and key medical information, as well as a lot of information about your private life. As such, you need to know that the solicitors you are working with are effective, efficient and discreet. You also need to be able to build an effective rapport and level of trust with them. Personal injury claims cases can take months or even years to carry out to completion. The more complex a case, the longer it is likely to process and secure an award. On average, a personal injury claim could take more than a year to complete.

Finding the right solicitors to work with is a critical step along the road to securing the compensation that you are entitled to. You need to ensure they have the right knowledge and experience. The solicitors, lawyers and law firms we work with within the Rochdale area and across the UK will be regulated by the SRA, or Solicitors Regulation Authority. However, though they are all regulated by and adhere to the standards of the SRA, the level of service you may get can differ greatly.

Different firms will also charge different levels of fees and additional charges. Some may even hide things in the small print of your contract. With all this in mind, what steps should claimants take to find the right personal injury solicitors for Rochdale or anywhere in the UK? Follow these steps below on how to claim.

Should I Use A Local Law Firm?

In the digital age, many professional services can be provided from anywhere in the UK. You might be looking for a solicitor based in your area, such as personal injury solicitors for Rochdale. Still, with email and messaging services, much of the work on your case can be carried out from anywhere in the country. For most claimants using the Rochdale solicitors we work with, the only part of the claims process which will need to be carried out locally could be any medical examinations necessary.

These can be required to establish a full record of the injuries you have sustained beyond your existing medical evaluation for a GP or hospital. The personal injury solicitors we can connect you to will organise any medical exams needed. In Rochdale, these medical experts might include;

The amount of compensation you might be awarded if your claim is successful will be based on two main factors. These are, firstly, the severity and nature of your injury. General damages cover the injury itself, and guidelines produced by the Judicial College governs award amounts. This includes a ‘banding’ for each type of injury with a lower and upper limit on awards.

The second factor looks at any financial costs you have incurred. These could be a loss of earnings, medical bills, or any other out of pocket expenses, such as travel costs, which have been directly incurred due to your claim. It could even include and alterations to your home or vehicle which are needed.

Different law firms may have a better record of securing higher awards and may charge different fees. Be aware of how much the claims company could charge as a percentage of your final award.

Time and again, figures from local authorities and the Government show that slips, trips, and falls are the most common accident across the UK. This holds in and out of the workplace. Within Greater Manchester (of which Rochdale is a town), figures show that slips, trips, and falls are the most common type of workplace accident. Slip and trip accidents can also often lead to secondary accidents.

This could be a person slipping by a pool, striking their head and falling in, suffering secondary injuries.

This has resulted in facial scarring for those who have fallen over on Milkstone Road and Yorkshire Road in Rochdale.
