Road Traffic
Accidents
If you have been
injured in a road traffic accident within the last
3 years then you may have a claim.
Road traffic accidents include
those involving any of the following:
If you have been
involved in any kind of accident, either as a driver,
passenger, cyclist or pedestrian, then we can help
you claim quickly and efficiently.
Make sure you
have the other party's name, address, vehicle details
and insurance details and, if you can, get details
of any witnesses.
Remember to report
the accident to the police at the scene if anyone
is injured and report it to your insurers as soon
as possible.
Even if the other
party is not insured or it was a hit and run, you
can still claim. We can guide you through the process
with the Motor Insurers' Bureau, who deal with claims
from innocent victims of uninsured and untraced drivers.
TrafficAccidentAdvice.co.uk may be of interest as it deals with many different aspects of Road Traffic Accidents.
Construction
Industry
We have a dedicated
team of lawyers that specialise in dealing with accidents
on building sites. There are very few solicitors who
have such in depth and specialist knowledge in this
area. This gives us a great advantage in fighting
your claim.
If you have been
injured in an accident at work within the last 3 years
then you may have a claim.
We regularly deal
with the following:
- accidents on building
or construction sites;
- accidents involving
building work;
- banksman claims (guiding
in crane drivers);
- claims against project
managers;
- claims against developers
or site occupiers;
- claims where you are
injured during any construction process whether
on a developer's site or elsewhere, such as
construction on office premises;
- scaffolding claims.
Public
Liability - often referred to as Tripping
and Slipping
If you have been
injured in an accident in a public place within the
last 3 years then you may have a claim.
Public places
include:
- Pubs;
- Clubs;
- Restaurants;
- Supermarkets;
- Tripping/Slipping
in the street;
- Any Other Public Places.
Visitors have
the right to be reasonably safe when they are on property
belonging to another person or company. So if you
are injured in the street, in a pub, a supermarket
or when visiting anywhere you may well have a claim.
Accidents
at Work
If you have been
injured in an accident at work within the last 3 years
then you may have a claim.
It doesn't matter
whether you were injured on your employer's premises
or somewhere else. Your employer owes you a duty of
care to ensure that you are safe at work. The law
in this area is very comprehensive.
You clearly have
to look out for yourself too, but your employer is
responsible for ensuring that your workplace, systems
of work are safe, and that your fellow employees don't
injure you.
MAKE SURE YOUR
ACCIDENT IS PLACED IN THE ACCIDENT BOOK AND YOU CHECK
THE DETAILS ARE CORRECT!!
Serious
Injuries
If you have been
injured within the last 3 years then you may have
a claim.
At a time when
you or one of your family have had a very serious
injury, you need to be sure that you have the right
solicitor on your side.
If you need rehabilitation,
we can put you in touch with consultants who can help.
If you are unable
to work and face financial hardship, you may need
an interim payment. In such circumstances we can apply
for one for you.
We have vast experience
in dealing with:
- brain and head injuries;
- spinal injuries;
- amputation and serious
limb injuries;
- serious injuries of
any other type.
We can also deal
with cases where you have been attacked and seriously
injured. In such instances, we can help you make an
application to the Criminal Injuries Compensation
Authority.
Accidents
involving Children
A person under
18 can claim for all types of accidents, just as an
adult can.
Children have
until their 21st birthday to make a claim. However,
it is always better to the claim as soon as possible
to avoid any difficulty in finding witnesses to the
accident and collecting reliable evidence.
If you are over
18 (and didn't cause the accident) and close to the
child, you can make a claim on their behalf. You would
act as a "Litigation Friend" and we will
speak to you on the child's behalf.
Settlements are
approved by the Court and any compensation is then
invested by the court at a preferential rate of interest.
The money will be paid to the child when they reach
the age of 18 years.
Fatal
Accidents
If one of your
family has been involved in a fatal accident and you
need to make a claim, you have to be sure that you
have a solicitor you can rely on.
We will provide
a solicitor who is supportive and compassionate -
someone who you feel you can talk to at this immensely
difficult time. We will take the claim at a pace that
suits you and will get the best possible result for
you.
We can apply for
an interim payment to help you get through the tough
financial hardships caused by the loss of a loved
one.
We regularly deal
with:
- Fatal accident claims,
however they were caused;
- Inquests.
