Types of Injury Claims

Have you recently suffered an accident or personal injury? If so and it was not your own fault, did you realise that you may be entitled to recover some compensation as a result?

If you would like to find out more, there is a team of experts who can advise as to whether you have a potential personal injury claim. It is always worth checking out the position, whatever the form of personal injury you have suffered and you have nothing to lose by asking.

Of course, all accidents are different, but it is the case that certain injuries are similar. There is a certain ‘injury claim type’ and experts are trained in these particular fields. What are the different injury claims types?

Sadly, many accidents take place on the road.

Whether you are a driver of a vehicle involved in a collision, a passenger who is injured or even a pedestrian, you may be entitled to make a claim. Whiplash, which affects the muscles in the neck area, is one of the most common forms of personal injury accident, in fact.

Another injury claim type relates to accidents in the workplace.

Did you realise that employers have certain legal obligations to their employees? They owe a particular duty of care towards them and also have to comply with statutory requirements such as health and safety legislation. If an employee is injured at work because of a breach of one of these obligations, the employee may have a right to bring a claim. What are injury claims in this regard likely to be? Perhaps machinery or equipment was faulty, or safety standards were not met. Perhaps inappropriate equipment or lack of training was to blame. There are other possibilities too, so it is worth contacting an advisor to check.

Medical negligence is a very particular form of personal injury.

The medical profession largely does an excellent job in looking after patients, but when something goes awry in breach of the duties of care that doctors, nurses and other professionals owe to those in their care, there may be a potential liability for the injury.

Also, there are accidents that take place in public places and this area covers many different injury claims. What are injury claims likely to be? Did you slip on a broken publicly maintained pavement? Perhaps you were hurt in an accident in a supermarket? Did your neighbour’s dog attack you? Again, you may be entitled to some compensation.
