Due to popular tourist destinations such as St. Augustine’s Chapel, Canterbury has millions of visitors each year – roughly 7.8 million visitors in 2017- and it is a popular place to live as well. If you have experienced an accident while living in or visiting Canterbury that was not your fault, you could be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries.  

Personal Injury Cases 

Personal injury refers to a large range of different case types such as accidents at work or accidents in a public place. Due to the tourism sector within Canterbury, there are unique and exciting opportunities such as punting down the Great Stour River. These opportunities, while generally safe, can always create the possibility of being involved in an accident. Another form of accident that is covered by the umbrella term of personal injury is road traffic accidents, whether you were a driver, pedestrian or bicycle rider. No matter how your accident occurred, if you were injured due to a scenario that wasn’t your fault then you may be eligible to claim compensation. No one should have their quality of life drastically and negatively affected due to an accident which is why First Personal Injury will fight hard to get you the compensation that you deserve.

Medical Negligence Cases  

Medical negligence refers to when a healthcare professional fails to uphold the health and safety standards and procedures of their profession – which includes other fields such as cosmetic surgery rather than just traditional, hospital-based scenarios. If you have been involved in an accident due to the negligence of a medical/healthcare professional, then you could be eligible to claim compensation to help deal and recover from your injuries.

 Even if your specific type of case is not listed above, we can still help you. Personal Injury and Medical Negligence are simply the two most popular categories within which we help clients. However, we also deal with a large range of other types of cases such as Military Accident Claims or Defective Product cases.  

How much compensation am I owed?  

 Compensation must be decided on an individual basis because the specifics of each accident and resulting injury are also unique. The extent of your injuries and whether your injuries have caused you financial losses – such as being unable to return to work – are taken into account when calculating compensation.  

While compensation is unique, there are general estimates of how much clients will usually receive for a specific type of injury. To calculate how much compensation you could be owed, use our compensation calculator.  

How do I make a claim?  

At first, you must provide some initial details about your accident – such as the date it occurred and where it happened.

Medical notes, photographs of the accident scene, or any other information that you collected or produced at the time of or relating to your accident will become crucial evidence in your case. Therefore, it is important and useful to keep any evidence – such as journal entries or text messages – relating to your case safe so that they can later be used in your case. If you are sent for further medical assessment, this will take place at a doctor’s surgery near to you so you are not further inconvenienced.
