Have you had an accident?

Personal Injury can mean a whole broad range of injuries in many different circumstances and accidents. They could range from back, shoulder and head injuries that may have been caused by a car accident or a broken or sprained ankle that is caused by slipping or tripping on a pavement. In terms of mental health personal injuries can also include psychological damage with short term or long term implications. There are many firms which have recently been sprung up offering to take up a legal challenge for personal injuries against the offending party. The aim being to fight for compensation from which if they win there fees and costs would be paid for by the opposite party.

Solicitors generally review cases in light of the evidence provided by the victim and assess the claim and the probability of winning the case in court. The advantages of progressing a claim is that the victim can be compensated for loss of earnings which could be caused by taking time off work to recover, some form of satisfaction for the stress and trauma caused by the accident, a financial aid to help victims through any treatment they may need to undergo. In other circumstances if the injury is caused by a trip on the pavement, it may help fix and carry out a repair to stop someone else falling victim to the same problem.

If you have decided to pursue a claim against the party responsible for your injury it’s worth checking that the claims company has personal injury lawyers who work under professional codes of conduct. They would also be in possession of valid insurance for the work they are doing and also be able to advise you of the possibility of the success for the claim. You also need to ask the lawyers questions on cost, what happens if they lose in court? Who will be liable to pay the fess? In these circumstances the no win no fee approach is more appealing.

Back in 1995 the no win no fee compensation claims were first introduced in the UK. These replaced the legal aid system which had been provided by the government via a fund which allowed people get a fair hearing in court and provide justice for the victims. Now with the No Win No fee arrangement the rule is that if you do not win the claim then you do not have to pay for the legal costs. This makes insurance a must for the solicitor to cover the cost from the other side should they loose. Some companies take a percentage of the compensation whilst others give the client the full amount and recover there costs separately from the opposite party.

As well as making Personal Injury claims victims can also pursue accident claims if the injury was caused by some sort of accident. This can be slipping or tripping in a shop or supermarket or on the pavement or road. These kind of claims can be pursued if it can be proved that the accident was a non fault of the claimant. The compensation that can be received can vary depending on the individual’s injuries that are the result of the accident and can cover physical and medical issues such a broken ankle to trauma and distress that was caused.

Rebecca Gransby, a teenager from Nottingham, has filed a personal injury compensation claim against the doctors who misdiagnosed her when she was a toddler.

Rebecca was just two years old when she developed chickenpox and her mother took her to see a local doctor. After the doctor sent her home, she had a convulsive fit, leaving her brain damaged. She was rushed to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, where yet again her condition was improperly diagnosed. She developed septicaemia, causing permanent spinal damage.

Rebecca has now been awarded compensation for her injuries, as the doctors involved have admitted partial liability and negligence. The exact figure she has received has not been disclosed.

Slip, trip and fall compensation claims are becoming increasingly common these days, with many people receiving cash payouts after sustaining an injury through no fault of their own.

However, one street in Liverpool has seen more than its fair share of trips and falls. Seven personal injury claims in recent months have been lodged against the council over West Derby Road, with victims receiving a range of cash amounts from £2,000 to 14,225.

The Mail Onlien recently covered this story, and their reporter alleges that the street appears normal and that the ‘victims’ are fraudsters trying to make quick cash from the council.

The good news is that, whether the Liverpool claims were sincere or not, the coalition government is starting to take new measures to clamp down on Britain’s ‘compensation culture’ so that those who truly deserve it will be financially supported, rather than the fraudsters.

According to online newspaper This Is Lancashire, Bolton Council was forced to pay out nearly £600,000 in compensation in 2009 after numerous people tripped and fell on uneven pavements.
These incidents led to drawn-out personal injury claim cases, where the claimants were awarded compensation according to the severity of their injuries or emotional suffering.

Despite this huge figure, Bolton Council says it actually managed to reduce the amount paid out in compensation compared to 2008, when they coughed up around £800,000. What’s more, Bolton is lower on the list for personal injury payouts than many other local authorities in Manchester.

Just a thought: would it not be cheaper to just fix the pavements to stop innocent pedestrians getting injured? The potholes on Manchester roads could do with some work too!

I was reading a leaflet….Yes I did not just look at the pictures this time. Well anyway this leaflet, it was about compensation to be had for injury or loss.

They go on about stuff that can be approached for such as falling from a ladder or tripping at work, you know general stuff that you expect to happen.

But then….

There is a mention about how much you will get if your child is knocked down by a car. I mean seriously who puts that in there. I am sure the last thing that a family grieving who have lost there child is compensation.

But if you are interested then the going rate is £1,000,000. I know that no one can put the price on the loss of a son or daughter but this company have.

In the previous post I mention about a attack. Well following on from this I am disgusted at the NHS. I mean really get your act together.

This victim has been in agony all week with bad heads and other smaller issues and it is all because they missed a facture that was easily spotted, which should have been picked up when this first happened.

I wonder about people who fall through the cracks like this. A easy diagnosis blundered up for speed.

I am very disappointed N.H.S ( Not Healthy Service)
