Accidents at Work

Your employer should ensure that you are protected at work by upholding the health and safety standards that are relevant to your industry. For example, your employer should provide personal protective equipment if necessary.

If your employer has failed to uphold the necessary health and safety standards for your industry and you have been injured as a result, you may be able to claim compensation. Similarly, if another employee has acted negligently at work and you have been injured as a result, you may also be able to claim.

Accidents on the Road

Road traffic accidents can result in serious injuries which may have a long recovery time. If you have been injured in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation as a result. Compensation can help to recoup financial costs that you may have incurred due to your accident. For example, if your car needs to be fixed or if you have lost income due to being unable to work, compensation could help with these costs. Contact First Personal Injury to have your claim assessed.

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?
