Medical Negligence Cases

Medical negligence can occur in many different scenarios. For example, you could be given poor medical advice while at the GP which causes you further harm and distress or you could be injured due to a botched surgery. No matter where or how your accident happened, if you believe that it was the fault of a medical practitioner’s negligent behaviour, you may be able to claim compensation.

Accidents at Work

No matter which industry you work in, your employer has a duty to ensure your safety at work by following the health and safety standards that are relevant for your industry. For example, you should be provided with a hard hat to wear at work if you work on a construction site. Similarly, if you operate a forklift, you should be provided with comprehensive training to reduce the likelihood of an accident occurring.

If you have been injured in the workplace due to your employer’s negligence, you may be able to claim compensation as a result. Similarly, if you have been injured due to the negligent behaviour of another employee, you may also be able to claim compensation.

Accidents in Public Places

Accidents can happen in any location, even if you are just walking down the street or going to a concert at the O2 Academy in Leeds. No matter where your accident has occurred, if it was the fault of someone else you may be able to claim compensation. For example, your accident could have occurred due to the curb being uneven.

If you were injured due to falling over an uneven curb this would be the fault of the local council or another authority who has jurisdiction over that pavement as they should have ensured that the curb was safe. Contact First Personal Injury today to find out how much compensation you could be owed.

Accidents on the Road

Road traffic accidents can often be quite serious and potentially life changing. If you have been injured in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist, if you have been injured due to an accident that wasn’t your fault, you should be able to claim compensation. Compensation can often help with the healing process as it eases the financial burden that many people face after being involved in a car accident.

Our experts at First Personal Injury will happily assess your case and determine the amount of compensation you are likely to receive.

We have more information about Road Traffic Accidents available on our website.

How much compensation am I owed?

Compensation is decided on a case by case basis, taking into account the pain and suffering caused by your injuries and the impact that these injuries have had upon your ability to function/your amenity. For example, if you can no longer complete tasks that you normally could, you may be able to be compensated for this loss of ability.

Compensation also takes financial loss into account. If you have experienced a loss of income due to your injuries, then it may be possible to account for this loss of income through compensation. Similarly, if you have had to pay for treatment or other costs associated with your injuries, it may be possible to claim these costs back through compensation.

To calculate how much compensation you could be owed, use our compensation calculator. However, it is important to remember that these figures are just estimates based upon previous cases. The best way to determine how much compensation you are likely to receive in your case is to speak directly to a personal injury solicitor.

How do I make a claim?

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

If you have any documents related to the accident, such as medical transcripts, photographs, witness details or notes, you should keep these safe as they could be used as important pieces of evidence in your case.
