What Sort Of Personal Injuries Do Our Solicitors Deal With?

Our personal injury solicitors for Grays can help with various claims. In the following sections, we look at a few of these.

Accidents At Work

In order to have good grounds to claim compensation for an accident at work, you will need to prove that your employer breached the duty of care they owe you under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Under this legislation, your employer must take reasonable, practicable steps to ensure your health and safety while carrying out work-related tasks. If their failure to do so results in sustaining an injury while at work, you could be entitled to compensation.

For example, as part of fulfilling this duty of care, your employer should carry out regular risk assessments. If they fail to carry out a risk assessment before asking you to pick up and carry an object and you injure your back, you could have a valid reason to claim.

Public Place Accidents

Whilst you are out and about in public places, including parks, shopping centres and train stations, you are owed a duty of care by the person or organisation with responsibility for that space under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. The person or organisation in control of the space (known as the occupier) must ensure your reasonable safety while you are on the premises. If they fail to ensure that the space is reasonably safe and you sustain injuries, you could be eligible to make a public liability claim.

For example, the occupier of a train station may know that a railing on the stairs leading to the platform is broken. If you were to fall down the stairs, you could sustain multiple injuries and have a valid claim for compensation.

Road Traffic Accidents

All road users, including vehicle drivers, cyclists and motorcyclists as well as pedestrians owe a collective duty of care to navigate in a safe manner so as to not cause harm to other road users. As part of this duty, anyone on the roads must adhere to relevant road safety legislation, rules and regulations including the Road Traffic Act 1988 and the Highway Code. Failure to do so could cause a road traffic accident.

For example, you could suffer a serious injury if another driver is speeding and crashes into you. If so, you could have a valid reason to seek compensation in a personal injury claim.

Call our advisors to check the eligibility of your claim. If it meets the criteria, they could connect you to one of our personal injury solicitors for Grays.

The Effects of a Personal Injury

You may think that you have not been badly affected by your accident or personal injury and that is why you may think that claiming compensation is not a good idea. However, if you look at it in more depth, you’ll see that it isn’t always that clear:

Have you experienced pain or suffering? Most certainly your injury may have hurt when it happened and it may feel much better now. But what about the future? Who knows what might happen? This could just be a temporary thing and you could end up suffering from pain and discomfort for life.

Have you experienced any loss of your earnings? If so, you’ve lost earnings and this is something that you can claim for.

Has your ability to earn as much money as before the injury been affected? If your inquiry has affected your ability to earn what you did before, you could include a claim for future loss of earnings. This could be a significant amount of money once you sit down and work it out.

Have you had to pay medical bills? If you’ve paid for any of your medical treatment such as physiotherapy or counselling? You may have had to pay for travel to go for appointments. These things can be claimed for as part of your compensation claim.

Has your quality of life been negatively impacted? Can you do the things you used to do? Get about the same? Play the sports and do the activities that you used to do? If your accident has hindered any of these in any way then we can include it in your claim for compensation.

Personal Injury Claims Time Limits

Due to the Limitation Act 1980, the usual time limit for beginning a personal injury claim is three years from when your accident occurred.

Exceptions can apply to how the time limit for claiming works, depending on the circumstances of a potential claimant. For example, if a child has experienced an injury due to negligence, then the time limit for starting a claim won’t start for that child until the day they become 18 years old.

Once an injured child is 18, they will be considered old enough to start their own personal injury claim. A personal injury claim can’t be started by a child before they reach the age of 18. However, a representative, officially referred to as a litigation friend, may potentially be able to begin a claim for a child who has been harmed by negligence. The litigation friend can be someone close to the child, like a parent or guardian.

A different way the time limit for claiming may be affected is when the injured party lacks the required mental capacity to claim on their own behalf. The time limit for claiming is suspended for the injured party in this circumstance. The time limit may only become active later if the victim regains enough mental capacity to start making their own decisions. A litigation friend may be able to start a claim for another party which currently lacks the mental capacity to act on their own.
