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.

Read on for more advice about how we can value a claim for a leg laceration and what sorts of things we look at.

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.

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.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re tasked with moving a heavy box or a human being when it comes to employers adhering to The Manual Handling Operations Regulations.

The government stopped you from recovering all of your legal fees for a personal injury case in April 2013. As a result most law firms are now taking at least 25% from your payout and some are asking for upfront fees or making you pay additional fixed charges at the end of the claim.
