You have nothing to lose by filing an Accident Claim

If you have been unfortunate enough to have suffered an accident recently, and are considering claiming for some compensation then don’t worry about the costs of doing so. Most reputable personal injury firms will have a policy whereby whatever the outcome of an accident claim, the claimant will not have bear the costs. Ordinarily when a claim is filed, full costs are claimed for in addition to the compensation, but in the unfortunate event that the claim is unsuccessful, clients will not have to pay for the costs of the case. A good starting point is to find a firm willing to look at your case free of charge with no obligation. If they decide that you have a good case then they will take it on, passing the case to the necessary department depending on the circumstances of the accident.  Accident compensation claims for a car or motorcycle accident will usually be dealt with by a dedicated team of experts who have the necessary experience to deal with claims in this field, however complex the circumstances. Injuries that have resulted from tripping or slipping can take place in public places or in the work place and claims for compensation in this regard can de dealt with by general accident lawyers. It is a sad fact that people often perceive accidents that occur as a result of a slip or a trip as trivial and are simply a part of the compensation culture that exists in today’s society.

However in over 95% of cases a free accident claim should be sought, as this is the estimated proportion of accidents that involve slipping or tripping which result in broken bones, according to health and safety executives. Slipping on defective pavements are a major cause of severe injuries to the elderly, and to the wider public, wet floors in hospitals, schools and supermarkets can also give rise to slips that cause serious injuries. Children commonly slip and trip in playgrounds and sport centres, and road users, whether cyclists or motorists, are regularly injured by potholes in the road. Both public and private organisations and institutions are duty bound to take care of visitors to their premises, in as much as local authorities should look after pavements and public highways. If you or anyone you know has suffered from an incident as detailed here, then do not hesitate to locate a reputable personal injury firm and ask them to see if you have a case for compensation. Most firms will have a simple accident claim form that is required to be completed, and the more established firms will have such a form on their website so that injured persons can start their claim from the comfort of their own home. Once submitted it is normally the case that a specialist personal injury solicitor will then get in touch via the contact details you provide, and you can then discuss the options available with them.
