UK PERSONAL INJURY COMPENSATION CLAIMS ADVICE

If you have been involved in an accident and would like to make personal injury compensation claims against a negligent third party we can help you to maximise your settlement. We are a network of specialist accident lawyers who are all members of The Law Society panel of personal injury experts and who deal with claims using the risk free no win no fee scheme. Damages are paid in full with no deductions and you do not have to fund or finance the claim or pay for any insurance.

Personal injury compensation claims may include :-

• Special damages
  which are items of loss which can be calculated reasonably accurately including wages losses, reduction of earnings, travelling expenses, cost of medical treatment and medicines, personal property and the excess on any insurance policy. These losses are usually proved by production of receipts however estimates of loss can be made and verified by other evidence.
• General damages
  covers compensation for losses which cannot be calculated precisely and includes pain and suffering the amount of which is normally established following review of medical reports. In addition a claim can be made for loss of a congenial job together with damages for any disadvantage on the open labour market caused as a result of ongoing medical problems.
• Future losses
  are losses that are likely to continue for the foreseeable future and a special calculation is applied to the estimated annual loss to arrive at a fair figure for compensation.
• Interest
  may be payable on some accident compensation. Interest on special damages runs from the date of the accident whereas interest on general damages runs only from the date of service of legal proceedings.

Claims that can be made for compensation include:

• Accident at work claims.
  It is essential that you are represented by an experienced accident solicitor who is familiar with all issues relating to the protection of employees. A specialist solicitor will be able to interpret the complicated legislation which is in place both from the UK parliament and from the EC to protect workers from injury.
• Slip and fall claims which include:
  • slips in restaurants and supermarkets;
  • trips over badly aligned or uneven pavements;
  • slips on dangerous, polished or wet surfaces;
  • slips down stairs that are in poor condition or not built to an acceptable standard;
  • falls in obstructed walkways, stairs or corridors:
• Motor vehicle accident claims
  These include claims for compensation for drivers, passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists and bicycle riders. If someone else caused the accident then you are entitled to compensation even if the driver was a friend or relative.

We are not a claims management company and you will not have to deal with any unqualified middlemen, managers or clerks. We believe that it is important to have a solicitor involved from the start of your personal injury compensation claims to ensure that you establish liability and obtain the compensation you deserve.
