Top Tip! Solicitors can get up to four times more!

So you have a whiplash claim and you have rejected or countered the first offer from the insurers, and now you have a new offer that (I hope!) is better than the first one. Should you accept it?

An insurer can make an offer at anytime during a claim, and it is the important role of your solicitor to correctly advise you as to whether an offer from the other side should be accepted or rejected. So it all depends on the amount of the offer – read on for more info.

We can still give you a 100% compensation agreement!

Fall accidents, whether caused by trips, slips, or from falling from a height at work perhaps, can cause some pretty devastating injuries; especially if you fall from a significant height and / or the ground you land is hard.

So, you’re using a hairdryer, or perhaps a lawnmower, or some other form of electrical equipment, and it shocks you – causing an injury. What can you do?

If the electric shock is caused because the product is defective, or perhaps the plug or wiring is faulty, you may have a claim for personal injury compensation depending on how it has happened, and where it has happened as well.

No Win, No Fee for Road Accident Claims!

When two lanes become one, accidents can easily occur. There are a lot of lanes on our roads that close in to one lane forcing traffic to merge, and when people are not paying enough attention, or being impatient, they can become road accident hotspots.

So what are the rules of the road when it comes to accidents where traffic merges, and who is at fault?

You walk through a door to a shop, or a supermarket, or a pub, or perhaps to your place of work – and as soon as you walk through the door you slip on the floor. It can be as painful as it is embarrassing – and it may mean that you have a claim for personal injury compensation if this happens to you.

So can you claim? If so, how much does it cost?

When we buy a product or invest in a service, we expect a certain quality in what we’re paying for. Importantly, we expect not to be harmed by the product or service we have parted ways with our money for – The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 demands it.

So what happens if you are harmed because a product is dangerous either due to it being defective or due to a failure to warn of inherent dangers? Or what happens if a service ends up leaving you injured? Can you make a claim? If so, how much does it cost to claim?

I often get inspiration for my blogs through recent claims we take on and stories I read in the press. On occasions, the inspiration comes from my own personal experience – and given I do a commute of more than 66 miles a day, I’m almost taken out on the motorways and on roundabouts on a regular basis.

It’s quite concerning sometimes – but as I’m a good driver (in my opinion) I can normally avoid the idiocy of others causing an accident. So let’s look at the changing lanes scenario.

100% compensation for workplace accidents

I saw a recent story in the Derby Telegraph about a worker who narrowly escaped what could have been a fatal injury when a crane toppled over whilst trying to lift a heavy object (source). According to the news story, the accident, which happened in my resident city of Derby this week, confirms that the worker managed to escape the crane unharmed.

But it could have been so much worse – so what happens if someone is injured in an accident involving cranes and plant equipment? Can you make a claim for personal injury compensation?

110% Compensation with The Injury Lawyers!

April 2013 saw a lot of government legal reforms which have rocked the personal injury claiming world to its very core, and largely left the victims more worse off than they have ever been in the history of injury claims. We’ve known its coming for a while, and the government have caved to pressures from the multi-billion pound insurance industry to reduce the burden of legal costs to the defending parties.

But compensation in general has been increased by 10% to offset the changes victims are now suffering from – so here is an insight in to the overall picture of what’s happened.

100% compensation for workplace claims – click here for more!

We take on a lot of workplace accident claims and we’re often astonished at some of the circumstances employees are injured in. Health and safety is significantly stringent in the UK, and whilst many workplaces can boast of good records when it comes to keeping accidents down, there are times when things happen that could have easily been avoided.

So here’s a story from the Matlock Mercury (source) about a local woman in chesterfield who is suing her employer, the Co-op, after she was told to put herself in danger in the workplace.
