Are you involved in an accident claim?
If you've been injured in an accident that you don't think was your fault it can be difficult to know whether or not you can make an accident claim for compensation. An accident claim can be made in a wide variety of circumstances, whether the accident occurred at home, at work, out in public, on the roads, or in any other context where somebody else had a duty of care.
What type of accident can you claim for?
If someone else was, at least in part, responsible for your injury then you have a possible accident claim.
Some common types of accidents which you may be able to claim compensation for are:
- Motor accidents
- Accidents at work
- Slips, trips and falls
- Accidents in the home
- Medical accidents
There are many more types of accidents that may be able to be compensated. If you think you might have an accident claim you can speak to one of our specialist accident compensation solicitors who will be able to help you with this.
What needs to be proven in order to make a claim is that a person or organisation had a duty of care to take reasonable care to avoid injury to you, and that they failed to take that reasonable care, either by something that they did or failed to do.
What can you make an accident claim for?
An accident claim can be made for physical injuries, pain, suffering and loss of amenity, and possibly psychological injury. You may also receive compensation for financial losses and expenses caused by the accident, such as lost earnings, costs of medical treatment, and damage to property. For both physical and financial costs, compensation may also be awarded for how you are likely to suffer in the future, such as for activities that you can no longer do, and loss of future earnings.
