Accidents, of course, happen when you least expect them. You could be walking along the factory floor and slip on something that you have not noticed. You could be driving and someone crashes into your car, leaving you injured. Accidents happen all the time and often they are not our own fault.
In regards to injuries that are not your own fault, the law says that you are able to claim compensation for any injuries sustained in accidents. Often this may seem to be a very daunting task to take on. After all, you (more…)
There are many specific injuries that can affect your life and potentially start a court proceeding. These include:

This is a phrase often heard, but sadly accidents affect someone, somewhere, every minute of every day.

It will come as a surprise to few that compensation claims are on the rise. Between 2006 and 2008 alone there was a staggering 31.8 % rise to 1,205 according to legal resource Sweet & Maxwell.

In an ideal world, compensation claims for accidents at work would never be necessary, but unexpected injury can happen to an employee more often than is imagined and any worker affected in this way need not be concerned that the incident is too trivial to be compensated.

This is the reasoning behind a recent BBC news report which stated the idea that “spurious compensation claims is an urban myth”; going on to suggest that most claims are not frivolous.
Claims companies regulated by the Ministry of Justice are proving successful in gaining compensation for an assortment of work accidents at all levels .These payments range from those for repetitive strain injury and vibration white finger, up to a recent successful claim for the fatal effects of asbestos exposure. Employers have a responsibility to protect their workforce by (more…)
