Accidents at Work

No matter your job role, your employer should ensure your safety at work by adhering to any health and safety guidelines that are relevant to your industry. For example, if you work in construction, your employer should ensure that you have a hard hat to wear while on site to try and avoid a serious head injury occurring.

If an accident has been caused by your employer failing to adhere to health and safety standards, or the injuries sustained were likely worse because of this lack of compliance, you may be able to claim compensation. Similarly, if another employee displayed negligent behaviour, leading to injury, you may be able to claim compensation.

Accidents on the Road

You could have potentially been injured due to being involved in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault. Road traffic accidents don’t just effect drivers, you could be injured as a passenger, pedestrian or even a cyclist. As long as the accident was not your fault, you are most likely to be eligible for compensation.

Claiming for compensation can often be an important step in the recovery process as it can help pay for treatment, taking away the financial burden that you might be experiencing after a road traffic accident. Contact First Personal Injury to find out how much compensation you could be owed based upon your circumstances.

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.
