100% compensation for most claims!
Being hit by a shutter can lead to some fairly serious head injuries and other harm if you are knocked to the ground. Whether it’s a shutter to a shop or a supermarket, or perhaps one on a wagon or lorry, you may have a claim for personal injury compensation.
Read on for more info about how we may be able to help you with a case.
The Circumstances
It can all depend on the circumstances of the accident and how it has managed to happen. If it’s in a public place, like perhaps at a shop or a supermarket, and you have been hit because a shutter is broken or someone has closed it on you, you may have a valid claim for personal injury compensation.
We have taken on cases before where shutter mechanisms have failed and have led to them falling down and hitting people, as well as employees of the Defendant closing them on people. It can be rather scary to be fair!
If it happens in the workplace, the same sorts of duties can apply.
When it comes to wagons and lorries, its normally a work accident case where an employee has been injured – and because vehicles can be classed as work equipment, The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 may apply. These important rules mean that an employer can be strictly liable to ensure that equipment is in an efficient state of repair and in good working order. So if you are injured because shutters are defective, dangerous, or unsuitable, causing an injury, you may have a claim.
Making a Claim
Making a claim for personal injury compensation, whether it’s a workplace case or a claim where you’re a member of the public, is normally fairly easy to get going. In most cases we need to submit a Claim Notification Form to the insurers or the company responsible and they will have either 30 working days for a workplace claim or 40 working days for a public claim to respond. They must either accept or deny liability within this timeframe.
We can get a case set up and ready for submission on the same call you instruct us on. It doesn’t take long and you don’t have to wait for lengthy paperwork to sift through either.
100% Compensation
In most cases we can offer 100% compensation agreements, despite the fact the law changed in April 2013 and most law firms will now take 25% from your payout. We can still offer you a 100% compensation agreement – so call us now on 0800 634 75 75 for specialist help and advice today.
