If you are unlucky enough to suffer an accident and as a direct consequence you need hospital treatment, or have to take time off work in order to recover from your injuries, you will want to find out what compensation you are entitled to and the easiest way to claim it.

There are many places that will offer you advice and assistance on claiming compensation, and some are better than others. Some companies will ask for money up front, it is not advisable to use these companies as up front payment is not necessary.

If youve had to suffer the trauma of an injury and having your usual routine broken, you will not want to deal with the stress of making a claim on top of it all. A good accident claims company will take care of all the stressful parts for you and let you concentrate on healing up, while they get you the best compensation possible.

In order to get the best service and the maximum amount of compensation youre entitled to, it is important that you take care over the company you choose to represent your claim. The one with the most impressive TV ad may not be the right choice as they have to pay for those TV ads somehow, and somehow is usually by using a slice of your insurance claim.

If you use a smaller claims company the it is highly likely that you will receive a far more personal experience as they a smaller company will have a closer working relationship with its solicitors and will ensure that the solicitor that represents you will have a full knowledge of all the details of your claim and treat your case as more than just another reference number.

The reason you would be entitled to compensation with this type of accident is so that you can receive recompense for any lost earnings, as well as to ensure you are duly compensated for any damage done to your person or property. So you will not only be covered for any loss of earnings during your recovery period, but you will also receive a sum, respective to the level of permanent damage caused, for example, if you were to seriously damage or loose an eye or a limb.

In is important that you start your accident claim as soon as is practical as it can sometimes be a lengthy process. If the other party contests your claim, as often happens then the legal process can drag on for some time. In addition depending upon the type of claim you only have a limited period of time in which you can make a claim. It is always best to start proceedings as soon as you can after the accident.

Being involved in a road traffic accident can often be a traumatic and frightening experience. If you have been lucky you will only have suffered some minor injuries and damage to your vehicle. However, in some situations the consequences of the road traffic accident can be far more catastrophic. Whether you have been a driver, motorcyclist, passenger, or pedestrian, if you’ve been involved in a road traffic accident that was caused by another vehicle in the last three years, you could be entitled to claim compensation. In order to make a claim, it will be essential to show that the other party involved was at fault.

Impact of a whiplash injury

This type of injury is the one that is most frequently reported. A whiplash injury can occur from a high speed impact or a forceful jerk. For instance, when a car slams into the back of your car, or rear-ends your car. Whiplash victims can experience pain in the neck, shoulders, and back. In some cases, the intensity of the injuries are sometimes not evident for days or even weeks following the accident.

In assessing the amount of compensation you are likely to receive, the severity of your injuries will be taken into account and how much you suffered as a result of the road traffic accident.

Important steps to take following a road traffic accident

All cars and motor vehicles are required by law to have insurance to protect against any road traffic accidents that could potentially occur. Therefore, if you are involved in a road traffic accident, the first step you should take is to exchange insurance details with the other party, as your claim for personal injury will be made against the insurance company of the third party.

Secondly, in order to progress your claim, your solicitor will need the names, addresses, and vehicle registrations of the parties involved in the road traffic accident. In some road traffic accidents, it will be agreed by both parties on who is to blame for causing the accident. If this is the case, then, it is useful to make note of what was said following the accident. However, quite often both parties will blame each other, and these types of situations a further more detailed investigation will need to be carried out. It will help your case if you can take photographs of the vehicles involved in the accident. Photographs should be taken of the cars/motorbikes, and any skid marks on the road etc.

On some occasions the vehicle owners will not be present at the scene of the accident you should make a note of their details. If there were any witnesses present at the scene of the accident, it is highly recommended that you write down their names and addresses as well. As with most personal injury claims, in order for your case to be successful, it will be necessary to prove the negligence of the other party involved which resulted in your injury.

One point to consider is that if the opponent is successful in demonstrating that the road accident was partly caused by contributory negligence on your part, then it is likely that the damages will be reduced accordingly.

The emotional and psychological effects of a spinal injury can be devastating. Not only can it affect the loved ones around you, but it can also have far reaching consequences on other major areas of your life. In most cases, you will have to make huge financial adjustments depending on the extent of your injury. If you have been victim to a spinal injury at work, in a road traffic accident, or a fall, then you may be entitled to compensation.

What is a spinal injury?

A spinal injury is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling. The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur. Often the spinal cord can remain intact, but cease to work properly. Generally, the more severe the injury is, the higher the loss of function.

How to make a claim

Evidence will need to be gathered outlining that someone else negligently caused or contributed to the accident that caused the spinal injury. It must be proven that the accident actually caused the injury and fully demonstrate the extent of the injury and its consequences on your well-being.

Spinal injury claims differ from most personal injury cases as the amount of compensation awarded is usually a lot higher than an average personal injury claim.

How much compensation you are likely to be awarded will depend on a number of things. The amount of pain and suffering you have endured as a result of the accident will be an important factor. However, other factors will be considered too. In most case scenarios, you are likely to incur future financial losses, such as, rehabilitation costs and nursing care. Your house may need to be readjusted to accommodate your needs. If you are unable to return to work straight away, the damages will also need to reflect that.

The types of accidents that can occur:

Spinal injuries caused in the work place

If you have tripped, fallen, been hit by an object, or suffered any other type of accident, you may be entitled to compensation. You will have to prove that your employer owed you a duty of care and this was breached,

Spinal injuries caused from road traffic accidents

If you have suffered a spinal injury as a result of a road traffic accident, you may be entitled to claim compensation. It will have to be shown that it was the negligence of the other party that caused the accident which resulted in the spinal injury.

Spinal injury resulting from a sports injury

It is a well known fact that there is an element of risk involved in any type of sport. However, if it can be shown that you have suffered a spinal injury as a result of the negligence or actions of a third party, you may be entitled to claim. If you have sustained a spinal injury through no fault of your own, our specialist team of solicitors will assess your case and work to achieve the best possible result.

Medical professionals are fully aware that a great deal of responsibility is involved in ensuring that the amount of care provided to the mother during the course of pregnancy and birth is of a high standard. There is always a great amount of risk involved in handling a pregnancy case, as complications can happen, therefore every step should be taken to prevent any complications from arising. The treatment of care should be continued during and after the pregnancy, as a failure to do so can result in great pain and suffering for the mother. The child can also suffer in the long-term. Fortunately, in most cases the process flows smoothly for the mother and child. However, in some cases, complications occur during the process, which results in injury to the birth mother and baby. There are a wide range of medical professionals that are responsible for the welfare of the mother, not just the obstetrician. These can include nurses, midwives, and any other medical practitioner.

Injuries to mothers

One of the most commonly reported injuries are caused by incorrect stitching after episiotomy. This is the procedure that allows extra room for the baby to ease delivery. It is essential that the wound be correctly stitched otherwise it can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort to the mother. Vaginal tear is another form of injury that is quite common. In most cases, vaginal tears are stitched under local anaesthesia using sutures which dissolve over a period of time. It is important to note that if the tear is not examined properly, it can result in further discomfort for the mother.

Injuries to babies

Erb’s Palsy

Erb’s Palsy is the condition which occurs if too much pressure is applied on the babys neck and head. It normally occurs due to birth trauma and can affect 1 or all of the 5 primary nerves that supply the movement and feeling to the arm. The consequences of this type of injury can vary from case to case. The amount of paralysis caused will depend on the damage to each nerve. In some cases, the babies recover on their own; however some may require specialist intervention.

Cerebral Palsy

This is another type of condition that is affecting thousands of children in the UK. Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the brain which can occur before, during or soon after birth. Again, the consequences of this type of injury can vary from child to child. Some children suffer problems in walking; whilst for others the consequences have been far more serious, leading to disability in some instances. Some reports have shown that around 10% of children have it as a result of medical negligence during birth. There is a way of preventing cerebral palsy, as the main cause of it is oxygen deprivation during a traumatic birth.

Motorbikes are often seen as an attractive option to those who prefer to travel around in a more practical way according to their needs. However, it is important to note that in taking on this means of transport, motorcyclists are putting themselves at higher risk of suffering from an accident.

There are various reasons why motorcyclists are at greater risk on the road then car drivers. For instance, the impact of a motorcyclist colliding on an object on the road will be higher and potentially more fatal then for a car or lorry driver. The motorbike offers little protection to its user due to its structure. Many of the statistics have consistently demonstrated that motorcyclists involved in the accident are more likely to suffer from serious physical injury, and most likely to be killed.

In examining the points mentioned above, it will be beneficial to the claimant if at the scene of the accident, important visual information is recorded, and this of course, will be largely dependent on the mental and physical condition the claimant is in. Visual evidence will be useful for your solicitor handling your case.

The types of motorcycle claims usually involve:

Filtering

This type of accident usually involves the motorcyclist overtaking outside or between lines of traffic. In most cases the other driver would claim that the accident happened due to the motorcyclist speeding or having insufficient regard to the safety of others. However, if there is enough evidence available, the solicitor may be able to refute these claims even if speed was a factor.

Encountering defects in the road

Each situation will be different in deciding whether a defect in the road, such as a pothole, will count as being sufficiently defective enough to pose a real danger to drivers using the road. The highway authority and the local council have a responsibility in ensuring that the road surfaces are maintained and repaired regularly in order to keep up the safety standards. Therefore, any relevant photographs that can be taken of the defect in the road will be helpful in making a claim. If measurements can also be taken of the defect, this will be even more beneficial. This should be done as quickly as possible, as once the highway authorities have been alerted to the hazard; they will work to quickly fix the defect as a matter of urgency,

Accidents caused by spills on the highway/objects

Various substances that are spilled onto the road can prove to be fatal for motorcyclists. These can involve anything from fuel, leftover debris, or even water that freezes into ice. If the motorcyclist collides with the object on the road, or slips on the ice, then the first steps would be to identify the person responsible for the object or spillage. In order to refute the motorcyclist’s claim, the person will have to prove that they took all reasonable steps to stop this from happening; however they will need to prove this in order to make a defence.
