Personal Injury
Personal Injury is an area of law which is designed to protect people who have been harmed by the negligence or recklessness of others. Legal claims range from wrongful death, road traffic accidents, workers compensation, whiplash injury and medical malpractice to name but a few. Some examples of personal injuries:
- Slip trip and fall injuries are where someone injures themselves because of the negligence of another. For instance if you are in a shop and slip on some spilt liquid, the owner of the shop is responsible for not clearing the mess up and is liable for your injuries. The same can be said if you fall and injury yourself on uneven paving. Whether the paving is owned by the council or someone’s private property, whoever owns the property is responsible.
- Car accident and motorcycle accidents can result in serious personal injuries to passengers and pedestrians.
- Medical negligence is where an injury is caused by the negligence of medical professional.
- Wrongful death claims can be made by family members on behalf of their loved ones. If the death was the result of another’s negligent actions then you have a strong case for compensation.
- A work accident which could have been caused by old faulty machines, or general lack of health and safety.
If you have had a personal injury you may be eligible to receive financial compensation damages for your pain and suffering, or other injuries like emotional distress or resulting disability. You may also be eligible to receive compensation for your financial losses like loss of income or medical expenses.
