Accident Claims - Types
Road Accidents
If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident that was not your fault you are legally entitled to claim compensation for your personal injury. You may have been a driver / passenger in a car / vehicle or on a motorbike or you may have been a cyclist or pedestrian.
It is a legal requirement that all parties have adequate motor insurance; however, if the other party does not have a valid insurance certificate you can still claim compensation through the motor insurance bureau scheme.

Work Accidents
If you have been injured at work while carrying out your normal duties you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury. As well as compensation for your injury, it may be possible to claim compensation for any financial losses, including any loss of earnings. The law can be complicated so it's best not to judge whether someone is at fault or not, give one of our advisors a call and they will be able to tell you who they feel is liable. For your compensation claim to succeed we need to show that someone else is at fault.
Accidents at work are a frequent occurrence, last year the Health and Safety Executive reported more than 30,000 serious accidents in the UK. Most accidents could be prevented if Health and Safety conditions were improved. By making a compensation claim you are ensuring that Health and Safety practices are investigated and the outcome should be a safer working environment.
Slip / Trip and Falls

examples:

If you have been injured in the Street, in a shop, in a restaurant or
any other public place because of a defect or hazard then you may be able
to claim compensation for your injury. Landlords and owners of land and
property accessed by members of the public have a duty to take reasonable
care for the safety of all visitors. Landlords also have a duty of care
for their tenants.
