The Common Types of No Win No Fee Personal Injury Claim

According to a study over three million individuals get injured in an accident every year.  These accidents may happen in their home, their work area, along the road or outdoors.  The accidents that cause personal injury can be classified as follows:

1.      Workplace accidents
One of the legal obligations is the “duty of care”. All companies have a duty of care to their workforces and this is the reason why the government requires all employers to ensure a harmless working environment. If they fail to provide safe working conditions then they can be liable for any harm or injuries sustained by the employees during work. 

If you sustain injuries while at work due to the slackness of your employer in abiding with the Health and Safety laws, then you can make an accident claim. According to the law, there should be consistent machinery checks to ensure good mechanical functionality; provision of sufficient resource of safety equipment; and information of the potential cause of accidents in their work area and how to prevent them.



2.      Automobile accidents
Every year, many people suffer injuries from road traffic accidents and they engage the help of a no win no fee lawyer.  Injuries incurred from automobile accidents are frequently the effect of the negligence of other drivers.  The United Kingdom’s roads are traversed by all types of vehicles that must abide with the road safety standards to avoid harm to other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.  If these drivers fail to be cautious, they impose a potential hazard to other motorists, and can be legally responsible for their failure to act safely.

3.      Slip Trip or Fall Accidents
The slip, trip, or fall accident is one of the most commonly experienced accidents in the UK.  A simple slip can lead to a more serious injury like fractures, head injuries, and even paralysis. These accidents also happen in the workplace due to poor implementation of health and safety rules. To make these type of accident claims for the injuries sustained, it must be proven that it was somebody else’s negligence, and you sought a medical attention.

4.      Faulty product accidents
Manufacturers are anticipated to deliver consumer products that work appropriately and have passed the quality and safety standards of the UK.  Defective products often harm undoubting consumers, and the manufacturers of the product can be charged if proven guilty of quality negligence.  Flawed products can lead to life shifting injuries and even death.

5.      Medical Malpractice

Health care in the UK is of a high standard and it is not needed for you to doubt your health care workers.  However, some exceptions lead to suffering of ill health.  Occasionally, an injury happens due to some side effects of medications and medical devices that the patients are not aware of.  These side effects can lead to lifelong injuries or death. It is then up to accident claim solicitors to get the compensation for the bereaved family.
