There are many different types of personal injury claims – including those arising from road traffic accidents, accidents at work or in public places, Asbestos related injuries and accidents abroad; which can result in injuries and in the worst cases loss of life.
Road traffic accidents
Accidents on the road are unfortunately very common. These don’t just involve car accidents, but also accidents involving cyclists, pedestrians and passengers, either in private vehicles or on public transport.
Road traffic accidents can be very distressing regardless of your injuries and potentially result in whiplash, psychological trauma and other health complications. If you have been involved in a road accident our team of lawyers will fight to get you compensation as well as any rehabilitation and support needed.
Accidents at work
Your employer has a duty of care to ensure that you and your colleagues can work safely. If your employer neglects this duty, it puts you at risk. Accidents at work can cause injuries that leave you unable to work, leading to financial losses. You may have to take time off or pay large bills for medical treatments or physiotherapy. These are all expenses which could be claimed back as part of your personal injury claim if it is proven that your employer failed to provide you with a safe working environment and didn’t take the required steps to prevent your accident from happening.
Many people worry that claiming against their employer could affect their jobs or working relationships. However, it’s important to remember that you have the right to claim compensation if your employer fails in their duty of care, and that you can’t legally be dismissed for making a claim. Your employer is not likely to be left out of pocket, because all UK employers are required by law to take out employers’ liability insurance policies. If you are successful in your claim, this is where the funds for compensation will come from.
Nevertheless, you may need support while pursuing a claim against an employer, and this is where the expert advice and guidance from Slater and Gordon Lawyers can prove invaluable.
Other types of claims
As well as road accidents and accidents at work, there are other situations in which a personal injury claim may be appropriate. For example:

As for who can make a personal injury claim, if there has been a breach of statutory duty or someone’s negligence has caused your injury, you’re eligible to bring a claim.
With respect to personal injury claims made by people under 18, the courts will appoint what is known as a ‘litigation friend’ to claim on that person’s behalf. The litigation friend would usually be a parent or family member.
In fatal accident claims, the deceased’s financial dependents or personal representatives can claim for loss of dependency, for example if the family’s sole breadwinner has died.
