All beauty salons should have insurance which covers them for any type of accident that may occur; if something has gone wrong when you have had a treatment, this insurance policy should cover you for any loss or injury you may have sustained.
Depending on the severity of your injury you may be entitled to a sum of compensation. Always seek medical advice first of all – this will provide evidence that you have sustained an injury and it may later be relied upon. It’s a good idea to record in your own words exactly what happened; that way if you choose to pursue your claim you will have all the details to hand and there will be no risk of forgetting any of the events. Try to take some photographs to show the extent of your injury. Again, the photographs can be very useful evidence as the extent of your injury will be easier to assess.
Always try to record any expenses or loses that you have had as a result of your incident. If you try to keep the receipts, they can be passed on to the parties at fault as proof that you have had to pay out for any additional expenses.
If you do decide that you want to go ahead and make a claim for compensation, it will be best for you if you chose an independent firm of personal injury solicitors. An independent personal injury firm will hold you as their main focus and priority – a lot of firms today are tied to insurance or claim management companies, where they are required to meet targets to settle your claim within a certain amount of time. Also a lot of the firms that are tied to other companies have to pay something called a referral fee that is basically a fee that the insurance company charges the law firm to handle a case.
If you have any questions about your claim, or if you require further advice and guidance, a personal injury law firm will be able to answer any questions you may have. They will also be able to evaluate your claim and assess whether you have a successful claim for compensation at an earlier stage.
