How Much Compensation Am I Entitled To?

This is a very complex question and would depend on the seriousness of your injury and how that has affected you in life. Other aspects to consider would be if you have any loss of earnings, how long you were suffering for with your injury, if any ongoing medical care is needed etc. The solicitor we appoint you can asses each case and can advise you with a guideline of how much compensation you could receive. The solicitor would also need to review the medical records for the injury.

Contrary to what the media would have you believe, Judges do not simply make up the compensation as they go. Courts are bound by the Judicial Studies Board Guidelines for Personal Injury, a handbook of what the Board feel is appropriate levels of compensation for every type of injury.

I Might Have Been Partly To Blame- Can I Still Claim?

Yes! Even if an insurance company has decided the claim was partly your fault and partly the fault of another party you can still make a claim for your injury.

The compensaton you receive may be reduced because you were also at fault, this is called Contributory Negligence.

If you are held 100% to blame for the accident then the third party has not been negligent and therefore there is no claim.

Contributory negligence could also relate to these examples:

If you were not wearing a seatbelt in a car accdent that wasnt your fault.

If you were not wearing protective goggles at work even though they were provided for you.

To see if you have a claim please give us a call on 0800 160 1296 and speak to our friendly team today.

Workplace Injuries

The Health & Safety Executive is the body responsible for workplace safety.

In statistics from 2014/2015 76,000 injuries were reported under RIDDOR and of those injuries the most common kinds of accident were:

• Slips & Trips (28%)
• Handling, Lifting or Carrying (23%)
• Struck by Moving Objects (10%)

And 4.1 million working days were lost due to workplace injury.

All employers have a responsibility to employees and guests to make sure the working premises are safe. They should provide as minimum:

• Up to date Risk Assessments
• Adequate Training
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Equipment in good working order

These guidelines are in place to protect people from having accidents however they do still occur. If you are injured at work and it was not your fault the employer will have insurance that can be claimed from for compensation.

The accident/injury could be caused by:

• Negligence of Fellow Employee
• Falling Objects
• Faulty Machinery/Equipment
• No or Lack of Training

Workplace accidents can vary from case to case as the circumstances are usually specific to the employees job and the task at hand on the day of the accident. Each claim will be looked at individually and assessed by our injury claims team here and we can establish if you do have a valid claim for compensation.

The general criteria for workplace accidents is that you would need to show that your company or fellow colleague acted negligently and that negligence led to your injury being sustained.
