Paper, leaflets, or cardboard can pose serious slipping hazards to anyone unfortunate enough to step on such a thing. Whether such materials have fallen on the floor and been left there through poor housekeeping, or whether there are storage issues, there may be a claim to answer for if you have slipped in these circumstances either at work or in a public place.

Neck and upper back injuries can be a lot more debilitating than some people think. The most common form of these types of injuries on a muscular level is whiplash, which often occurs in road accidents or slips and falls.

Whiplash is the term used to describe the over stretching of the tendons and muscles in the neck and back area that cause pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, and a number of other problems.

Claims can take a while – especially slippers and trippers, which is largely down to the Defendant’s love of defending them for prolonged periods of time!

Any lower limb injury, especially breaks, can be very painful and debilitating in even the most straightforward of cases. You’ll often need the limb to be immobilised for a set period of time, and you may not be able to bear weight on the foot either.

This can all lead to a lot of inconvenience, time off work, and financial problems. So read on for advice about foot injury compensation claims for fractures.

Any fall or impact injury can result in deep cuts (lacerations) to the legs, which can have a far greater impact on a person’s life than most people might think.

Welding can be a fairly dangerous task for rather obvious reasons. We have such stringent health and safety rules and regulations here in the UK to protect workers from being injured unnecessarily in the workplace.

Where a risk of injury can be reduced or completely avoided, an employer has a duty to take whatever reasonable steps are necessary to achieve this. So read on for more information about making a claim for personal injury compensation if you are injured in a welding accident at work.

The government legal fee reforms from last year have resulted in most lawyers now taking at least 25% from their client’s payout to cover a Success Fee which is no longer recoverable from the other side.

Some people have entered in to agreements without realising that they will face potentially huge deductions, and when they get to the point where they have realised what they could lose some money, they want to change to a different lawyer.

So if this has happened to you, can you change solicitors and get a better deal elsewhere?

People are often worried about whether they can still make a claim for personal injury compensation when they have either not had to have any time off of work, or where they have had time off but have been paid in full.

But you don’t have to lose out on any earnings to make a claim – read on for how it works for a better understanding about still claiming without losing any earnings
