Injury Types
If you have sustained a personal injury either at work or during your leisure time that was a result of someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Common personal injuries include dog bites, back, neck and leg injuries, while there are dozens of less common injuries, such as knee and hip injuries. Personal injury can cause lasting disability as well as loss of earnings through lengthy sick leave, while costly medical bills are also common. Claiming for compensation can help to meet these costs and compensate you for the pain and suffering your injury may have caused you.
Employers have an obligation to uphold strict heath and safety standards in the workplace. Should an accident occur as a result of an employer failing to meet with these requirements, they may be held liable for damages. Likewise, all land and property owners including local councils and authorities are responsible for ensuring a reasonable level of safety and should an accident occur due to negligence in upholding this obligation, they may be held responsible. If you think you have a valid claim, you should seek the advice of a solicitor who can help you on a conditional fee basis.
