Mistakes happen to us all and today we live in a society where mistakes have a price.
If you are involved in an accident and the fault was not yours you could be able to make a challenge for compensation against the outcome of that accident.
First it's important to understand what a personal injury is.
A personal injury can be physical or to the mind injury including an injury sustained at work which can also include sickness which is caused by the conditions you were told to work in.
A classic example of this was people required to work in places contaminated with asbestos.
Where people are impacted by stress at work, due to the strain of their job, that is also a work related illness.
Many people don't know that individuals may also make claims for discrimination or harassment at work.
One of the most common injury claims are those caused by car accidents, faulty goods or a trip in a public place.
If you fall into one or more of the above types there are a number of actions to consider.
You can complain to the organisation you believe was responsible for the claim.
You can make a claim for compensation to cover losses you have suffered as a result of the personal injuries.
You can seek support or counselling from a professional.
You must report all injuries however small to your doctor straight away as they will be called on to provide medical reports if the case goes to court.
If there are any by standers to the incident you must collect statements from them as soon as possible.
Ensure you get full addresses of any witnesses.
If the claim concerns a car accident the police must be told as soon as possible.
In the case of pain sustained at your employment you must officially inform your employer and ensure the accident is recorded in the accident book.
Your manager should then report this to the Health and Safety Executive.
Finally you need to engage with a qualified personal injury claims lawyer, and see how they can assist.
They will advise you on all aspects of the case and will drive the paper work forward towards a conclusion.
They will talk with you on the amount of compensation you may be entitled to.
If you have been injured in an accident, then you are likely to want to see if you are entitled compensation, and what you need to do in order to have your claim assessed.
