Personal Injury In Hereford -Farming Accidents

While unsurprising due to the fact that Hereford’s economy is particularly based in agriculture, there are a fair amount of agriculturally related accidents in Hereford and the surrounding areas. For example, in October 2017, John Sadler of Lower Bullingham in Hereford tragically died after an accident occurred while he was attempting to fix a damaged hydraulic pipe on the boom of a JCB telehandler. If a loved one has been killed in an accident on a farm or if you have been injured while working on a farm, you deserve to receive compensation.

The accident may involve an attack by livestock, it may be the result of a mechanical fault or it may be the result of a different type of accident. Furthermore, if you or a loved one has developed an illness due to working on a farm, such as Farmer’s Lung, then you may be able to claim compensation as a result of that.

No matter what injury or condition you have developed due to your job role, if it was caused by negligent behaviour on the part of your employer, then you may be able to claim compensation. Contact First Personal Injury to begin the claims process today.

Other Accidents At Work

If you have been involved in an accident in a different kind of workplace, your case is just as valid. Hereford has many different business types such as breweries like Bulmers and Spinning Dog, as well as meat manufacturers like Cargill Meats Europe. If you work in a brewery or a manufacturer, the accident that you might have experienced at work could potentially be quite serious due to the use of machinery within these industries.

Therefore, First Personal Injury wants to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve. If your injuries have occurred within a different workplace setting, such as an office, or they are not very severe, you still deserve to seek compensation if you wish. The act of claiming for compensation can often be an important step in the healing process, as it acts as an acknowledgement that something wrong was done to you and it also helps to lessen the financial burden that you might be saddled with.

Medical Negligence

If you have suffered a medical negligence accident, you may be able to claim compensation as a result. Medical negligence ranges from not receiving a diagnosis for a visible illness or disease, resulting in further pain and suffering, or receiving poor medical care such as a medical professional acting negligently during surgery.

Medical negligence can also refer to procedures that are cosmetic based, such as plastic surgery. If you have experienced any sort of negligence while receiving medical attention or while speaking to a medical professional, you may be able to claim compensation as a result.

Road Traffic Accidents

Road traffic accidents can happen anywhere, including in Hereford. In the wider Herefordshire area, there are roughly 400 personal injury road traffic accidents which result in roughly 600 casualties. If you or a loved one has been impacted by a road traffic accident – no matter whether you or they were a driver, passenger or a pedestrian – you deserve to receive compensation to help with the recovery process.

The injuries resulting from road traffic accidents can often be quite severe. Therefore, it is important that the person impacted by this type of accident receives the compensation necessary to get them the treatment and rehabilitation they need to recover.

 How Much Compensation Am I Owed?

Compensation amounts are decided upon an individual basis, taking into account the amount of pain and suffering that the injuries have caused, as well as the impact of the injuries upon the person’s ability to function/their amenity. If financial loss has occurred due to the injuries, such as a loss of income due to being unable to work, or out of pocket payments for treatment, then it may be possible to claim these costs back through compensation.

However, it is important to remember that compensation is calculated on an individual basis, so the best way to determine how much compensation you are likely to receive in your specific circumstances is to speak directly to a personal injury solicitor.
