Recent Accidents

You can make a compensation claim for an injury, disease or condition caused through no fault of your own. Victims of recent accidents can easily make a claim provided that the accident occurred within the last three years, unless the accident involves a child in which case the claim must be made within three years of the child's 18th birthday.

Recent accidents can include accidents at work such as slips, trips or falls caused by trailing cables, wet floors, working at height without proper safety measures, obstacles and damaged flooring. They can also include road traffic accidents, whiplash injuries, repetitive strain injury, medical negligence and industrial diseases such as asbestosis, cancer and allergies etc. People are also frequently harmed by dangerous or defective products and if you are one of the unlucky ones you may be able to make a personal injury compensation claim under product liability.

Compensation for recent accidents is available for pain and suffering, any costs and expenses e.g. phone bills, prescriptions, treatment for your injuries, any other financial losses such as loss of income, lost or damaged property and compensation to reflect the impact of the accident on your life and compensation for any future care if your injuries continue to affect you.

A total figure for the amount of personal injury compensation to be claimed will be calculated by a solicitor. This figure will be sent to the insurance company of the person who was responsible for causing your accident. The solicitor will then negotiate with the insurance company until an agreement is reached on the amount for your compensation award.
