Put your foot through some flooring? Advice from The Injury Lawyers

You’re walking along and your foot suddenly goes through the floor – stopping you in your tracks and causing an injury – what can you do about it?

Well you may have a claim for personal injury compensation if this has happened to you. We would defiantly be able to look in to a claim on a No Win, No Fee basis; no one expects their foot to just go through a floor.

Injuries caused can be widespread – whether you twist your knee or ankle because your still moving forward when your foot falls through, or whether your foot is badly bruised and grazed from the friction of falling in, this kind of thing should never happen. If it happens in a public place or a place of work, there may be a claim against those is in control of the premises / the employer.

Injured in a Rented Flat? Landlord Compensation Claims Advice

For example:

  • Slips due to an unrepaired leak
  • Trip on an unrepaired defect – such as a raised flooring tile
  • Hit by a falling fixture that was dangerous
  • Electric shocks from poorly maintained electrical goods or sockets

100% Compensation Claims with The Injury Lawyers

injury lawyersIn April 2013, the government stopped lawyers being able to recover all of their fees from the other side. They did this because they think that an accident victim should have more of an “interest” in their claim. We think it’s unfair – why should the victim lose some of their compensation that is meant to be recovered to compensate them for what’s happened in the first place!?

Now, other law firms are deducting up to 25% from their clients compensation payout to cover something called a Success Fee which is no longer recoverable. 25% is the maximum they can take from you.

Coccyx Injury Compensation Advice

compensation from the injury lawyersThe coccyx, also known as the tailbone, can cause a lot of pain and discomfort when injured. It can very easily be injured from falling down and landing on your back or your buttocks. The pain, sometimes referred to as coccydynia, can last for a number of weeks or months and unfortunately there isn’t a great deal that can be done, or will be done, about it.

The NHS will normally just treat a coccyx injury with pain medication. You can’t really have any kind of physiotherapy in the area either, so it really is a waiting game. It can cause a lot of pain when sitting down or moving around so it’s common for most people to have lengthy periods off of work when suffering with a coccyx injury.

How to Compare Personal Injury Lawyers – Who is the Best?

how to compare personal injury lawyersIf you’d have asked me this 12 months ago, I would have explained to you that it’s all about making sure your solicitor goes the extra mile when it comes to the service that they offer. But since the government changed the law in April 2013, it’s now more of a case of which lawyers is the cheapest!

Nowadays it’s somewhat of a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow to find a lawyer prepared to find your claim on the basis that you keep all 100% of your compensation if you win. This is because our government decided that victims of negligence should have to pay to claim when they stopped lawyers being able to recover all of their fees from the other side.

The Injury Lawyers 100% Compensation Offer

our clients receive 100% compensationJanuary – always a bit of a tight month after the big spend over Christmas and blowing a load more money in the after-Christmas sales! Add that to the fact most people are on a bit of a comedown after time off work over the festive period with friends and family, and we have a fairly unhappy population!

So here’s something to cheer you up – if you have had an accident and you have been thinking of making a claim, you may already be aware that last year there were loads of changes brought in by the government which have stopped lawyers being able to offer 100% compensation agreements.

But as a belated Christmas prezzie for you, we can still offer you a 100% compensation agreement! The law changes have stopped solicitors recovering something called a Success Fee and an After The Event insurance premium from the opponent. We can still recover our other fees so we don’t have to charge you!

Can you get Compensation for Minor Injuries?

minor injury claimsIn short the answer is “yes, you can claim compensation for minor injuries.”

Unfortunately in law it is never quite so simple. By that I mean that different law firms may have different criteria that need to be met for that law firm to take your case forward. In theory you can claim compensation for very minor injuries, however if your pain and suffering was for a day or a week or for say, less than a month, then the value of your claim may be less than £1,000. This ultimately may mean that a law firm cannot act for you in your case as a law firm may not be able to recover legal fees if the claim is worth less than £1,000. This is the reason why a firm may not take such a case forward. However this does not necessarily mean that you cannot claim; you may have a small claim which you can bring yourself, for example.
