Medical Negligence Cases

Medical negligence can happen in many different scenarios, whether you are at a private practice or an NHS hospital. For example, you could be unnecessarily harmed while undergoing a dental procedure.

No matter what type of medical negligence you have experienced, if it wasn’t your fault you may be able to claim compensation. Contact First Personal Injury to find out how much compensation you might be owed.

Accidents at Work

Your employer has a duty of care to ensure your safety in the workplace, no matter the industry that you work in. To do this, your employer should uphold the health and safety standards that are relevant to your industry. For example, if you work in construction, you should be provided with a hard hat to wear while working.

If you have been injured due to your employer failing to uphold health and safety standards, you may be able to claim compensation. Similarly, if another employee’s negligent behaviour has caused you to suffer an injury, you could also be able to claim.

Accidents in Public Places

Accidents can happen anywhere, even if you are just eating in a restaurant or walking down the street. If you have been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. If you were injured in a business, you may be able to claim against the business owner if they are to blame for the accident occurring.

Similarly, if you are injured due to a health and safety violation while outside, such as an uneven curb, you may be able to claim against the authority who has jurisdiction over that area. To find out how much compensation you might be owed, contact First Personal Injury.

Accidents on the Road

Road traffic accidents can often cause serious injuries which may have a long recovery period. Compensation can often help to ease the financial burden that you might be experiencing after being involved in a road traffic accident. For example, compensation could help to cover any repairs that are needed to your vehicle or a loss of income if you have been unable to work. To find out how much compensation you might be owed after a road traffic accident, contact First Personal Injury.

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 Plymouth – 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.
