In recent years, the idea of making a compensation claim after receiving a personal injury has gained something of a bad reputation. In part, this is due to the unsavoury business practices of some companies, which make unrealistic promises to their clients and help to create the impression that making a claim for compensation is the equivalent of winning the lottery.
At CompensationClaim.com we couldn’t disagree with this approach more. We don’t pursue people asking if they’ve had accidents, we don’t target people who we know to have suffered an injury with intrusive and annoying phone calls. Instead, we provide a simple, easy to understand service which means that, if you’ve had the misfortune to fall victim to an injury in an accident which was caused by someone else, we’re able to tell you honestly if you have a case for seeking compensation. If you do, then we’ll use our years of experience and the wide range of cases which we’ve dealt with to build the strongest possible case, working on establishing the two key planks of any compensation claim:
1. The accident which caused the injury was caused by someone else’s negligence
Amongst the types of accident we deal with most commonly are:
- Slips Trips and Falls – it doesn’t matter whether you’re in a shop, an airport or just walking along a badly maintained pavement. If you fall over something like loose cables, a wet patch or uncleared litter, then it was someone else’s fault, and they should have to compensate you for the injuries you’ve received.
- Car Accidents – You could be the driver, a passenger or even a pedestrian. If you’re injured as the result of another road user’s negligence then you may be in a position to make a claim for compensation.
- Accidents At Work – If you’re injured whilst working, or develop a condition caused by a poor working environment, then your employer has been guilty of neglecting their duty of care towards you and you may be able to make a personal injury claim.
- Medical and Dental Negligence – If the medical care you receive is of a lower standard than you might reasonably expect, resulting in illness or injury, then you may be able to make a claim for compensation. Medical negligence claims are amongst the most complex and difficult that we handle, and are fine examples of the kind of cases in which the advice of an expert lawyer is vital.
2. The accident has resulted in an injury
Your injury solicitor will seek to demonstrate that the accident you suffered resulted in you being injured. A personal injury of this kind could be relatively minor and short term in effect, or it could be major enough to curtail the rest of your life – damaging your earning potential or even stopping you from going out to work altogether. In such circumstances, when your quality of life has been reduced following the negligence of another, no matter how short or long term the extent of the injury, we feel it’s only right that you should be able to make a claim for the compensation which can go some way towards getting your life back on track.
