Medical Negligence Cases

Medical negligence can happen in many different contexts, whether you are asking for medical advice from an NHS professional or you are receiving an elective procedure such as cosmetic surgery. If you have suffered harm due to medical negligence you may be able to claim compensation.

It doesn’t matter what type of medical negligence you were the victim of, whether the advice you received caused you further harm or you experienced a botched surgery. Contact First Personal Injury today to speak to our expert team about your case.

Accidents at Work

It doesn’t matter what industry you work in, your employer has a duty of care towards their employees to ensure safety in the workplace. To do this they must follow the health and safety guidelines that are relevant for your industry. This includes providing adequate training or personal protective equipment where necessary.

If you have been injured, or you have developed a condition/illness due to your employer’s failure to protect you, then you may be able to claim compensation. Similarly, if you have been injured due to another employee’s negligent behaviour, then you may also be able to claim compensation.

Accidents in Public Places

Accidents can sadly happen anywhere, even if you are just walking along the street or eating at a restaurant. If you have been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault while in a public place, you may be able to claim. Your accident may have been caused by the failure of the business owner or local authority, such as the council, to uphold health and safety standards.

For example, if you have fallen over due to the curb of a pavement being uneven, you may be able to claim against the council for this. To find out how much compensation you are likely to be owed, speak to our team at First Personal Injury.

Accidents on the Road

The injuries that are sustained through road traffic accidents can often be very serious and painful. If you have been injured in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. Compensation can often help ease the financial burden that you and your family may be experiencing after being injured in a car crash, due to being unable to work or having to pay for recovery treatment.

If you would like to find out how much compensation you are likely to be owed, you should speak directly to our personal injury team who can assess your case.

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 Leicester – 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.
