What Is A Personal Injury Claim?

Compensation claims come about when someone’s actions or indeed their inactions cause you harm. In terms of actions, this could be serious injury claims due to a driver hitting you head on while looking at their mobile phone while driving, or it could be whiplash in a road traffic accident where a taxi driver was not paying care and attention to the road and braked suddenly at the traffic lights. In terms of inaction, it could be an employer not providing PPE for a task and you becoming injured as a result, or even if they did not maintain machinery and you became injured because of this.

In short, if you consult a personal injury law firm to help you, you could have the best chance of getting the maximum compensation for any No Win No Fee compensation claim. A personal injury solicitor will be experienced in this aspect of the law and can provide their experience and knowledge to your case, allowing you to claim for not only costs incurred but the pain you’ve suffered also, as well as any psychiatric damage.

We will discuss all of this in more detail below. If you would prefer to speak to one of our team than keep reading, get in touch using the details at the top of this page.

Your Right To Make A Compensation Claim

You can make a personal injury claim if you can meet certain criteria:

  • A third-party owed you a duty of care.
  • They breached this duty by causing or failing to prevent a dangerous incident.
  • You were harmed by this incident.

We will discuss how duties of care work further below.

You also need to lodge a claim within the personal injury claim deadline. This deadline is set by the Limitation Act 1980. For most accident claims, it’s three years from an accident date. There are exceptions:

  • If your accident happened as a child and no one claimed on your behalf, you’ve got three years from your 18th birthday. A court can also appoint a litigation friend for the minor who manages the claim for them.
  • If the person claiming does not have the mental capacity to claim without help, they will usually need to be appointed a litigation friend to act for them during the claims process. Their three years to claim will begin at the point they recover this mental capacity if a litigation friend did not begin the process for them.

Looking for ‘Northwich personal injury solicitors‘ for your claim? You may want to widen your search to the whole of the UK. Didn’t know you could? Well, you’re not alone. Many people stick to the local solicitors, even if they don’t necessarily have the relevant experience to get the maximum compensation possible.

Categories Of Personal Injury Claim Our Expert Team Conducts

So many different incidents lead to injury claims, and we could never list them all in one place as there are too many to count. However, there are some we see far more often than others. These are listed below but remember that we can handle any case for you if you get in touch.

Slip, Trip, And Fall Claims

Tripping over your laces obviously wouldn’t lead to a claim, but some slip or falls do – and when they do, we can help. If you’ve slipped on a wet shop floor that wasn’t signposted, tripped on broken paving, or fallen because of an improperly fixed balcony, there are solicitors that we can provide to help you claim for your injuries and costs associated with the injury.

Serious Illness And Serious Injury Claims

Many people don’t quite understand what is considered a serious injury and feel that they should take a settlement offer from a company that is much lower than they would get if a lawyer was on their side. Serious injuries cases have complex needs and so do the people involved. You could need care for the rest of your life, further surgery, or other costs well into the future. Using a specialist solicitor can ensure these are covered as part of your compensation settlement.

Workplace Accident Compensation Claims

The newspapers are full of cases where employers have successfully taken action against breaches of health and safety and have settled with employees on compensation. Whether you’ve been attacked at work, you’ve suffered a fall from a mezzanine floor, you’ve been trapped in machinery, or been exposed to a harmful substance, you can claim if your employer didn’t protect you from the risks

We can offer our support on many different kinds of workplace accident claims. Just a few examples include the following:

Road Traffic And Vehicle Accident Compensation Claims

Our roads come with dangers, and other drivers not driving safely is one of the biggest ones. Whether someone has failed to stop and careered into your car, run a red light, overtaken dangerous or more, you’re likely to be able to make a compensation claim, whoever you are:

  • Passengers – Whether on a bus, in a taxi or in a car, passengers put their lives in the hands of the people taking the wheel, and sometimes they take more of a risk by doing so than they thought they were. If you’ve been injured in a car accident where the driver was driving negligently, or another vehicle has hit yours when they were driving dangerously, you could claim.
  • Drivers – The most obvious victims of a car accident. If the other road user was negligent or dangerous, then a claim could be put forward.
  • Motorcyclists/Cyclists – Some of the most vulnerable people on UK roads. If you’re hit by another vehicle, the likelihood is that you might suffer more complex injures than you would if you were more protected in a vehicle
  • Pedestrians – If a car has gone through lights or veered off the road and hit you, the likelihood is you will not come out unscathed. Making a claim could help with the costs of recovery and any adaptations that might need to be made to your home if your injuries are very severe.
