According to the Department of Transport, there are on average over 170,000 accidents per year that result in personal injury.
Being involved in a car accident is a traumatic experience and can result in whiplash, broken limbs or serious head injuries.
After the shock of the accident and the medical treatment for your injuries, you will need time to recover, both mentally and physically. And that’s where compensation can help.
Accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, but if your injuries were a result of someone else’s careless actions, you may very well be entitled to a payment for your financial losses, as well as your pain and suffering.
Common injuries we help with include:
- Whiplash
- Breaks and fractures
- Head and brain injuries
- Loss of limbs
- Fatal accidents
Can I make a car accident claim?
Yes, if you are in an accident that was not your fault. You may have been the driver, or it may be that you were injured as a passenger. You could also claim on behalf of a child if they were hurt in the accident.
There are various things to consider when you make a claim. Firstly, your recovery and any costs relating to that. This could be medical treatment, or it might be counselling to help your psychological recovery.
Then there are other expenses such as loss of wages, travel to medical appointments, or even adaptations to your home, mobility aids and specialist equipment.

In the UK, according to the Health & Safety Executive figures for 2017/18, 1.4 million people are suffering from a work-related illness.
Accidents and injuries that occur in offices, warehouses, shop floors and factories, accidents often occur as a result of unsafe working conditions, due to lack of care or attention when it comes to workplace safety.
Workplace injury can be prevented if employers keep premises safe from all potential hazards. If they don’t and it causes an injury, you may have grounds to make an accident at work claim.
According to the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE), 31% of the annual c70,000 employer-reported accidents were slips, trips or falls. Slips and trips are the most common cause of accident at work and cause around a third of all major personal injuries. They can also lead to more serious accidents, such as falls from height or into machinery.
If you are injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you have the right to claim compensation.
Slips, trips or falls can happen because of things like:
-Slips on wet or icy surfaces due to a lack of warning signs in the area
-Trips over uneven paving slabs, wires, boxes or litter
-Tripping down poorly maintained staircases
-Falling from height because of something like a faulty ladder
In most cases of slips, trips or falls you’ll find fault lies with whoever is responsible for the location where it happens. For incidents in public spaces, the local council is usually at fault because it’s the council’s responsibility to ensure places are safe to use. Indoors, it’s whoever owns the building.
