Over the past few years or so, we have seen an increase in personal injury claims stemming from poor quality services in the beauty industry that have left people bruised, burned, scarred, and emotionally down when they end up injured through a beauty treatment gone wrong.

One of the more common ones is treatment involving hair extensions that have gone wrong; so, if you have stumbled upon this article because you are looking for some information on this topic, look no further, and know that you are not alone!

We have had claims ranging from hair dye gone wrong, where skin testing has not been completed correctly or at all, to hair extension treatments performed incorrectly resulting in patches of baldness, uncomfortable head, irritations, and scarring.

Injured in a road traffic accident whilst a passenger in a taxi?

Have you been involved in a road traffic accident whilst travelling as a passenger in a taxi, and as a result of this sustained injury and/or incurred losses, you are not sure of your rights, or you are contemplating submitting a claim but do not know the process?

As a passenger you are seen to be an innocent party as you are not the driver of the vehicle and you are likely not at fault. You are entitled to submit a claim for compensation up to three years from the date of the accident whether it was the taxi driver at fault or another driver involved.

If your holiday abroad is ruined because of an accident or illness that is caused by the negligence of someone else, it is possible that you could still make a successful claim here in the UK.

In general, if you have an accident abroad, you would usually only be able to claim compensation by making a claim in that country under their laws. This can be very difficult and expensive – especially if the legal representatives in that country do not work on a no win, no fee basis. There are often language barriers, the law may be completely different, and you may have difficulty dealing with a legal representative who could be thousands of miles away.

“No Win No Fee” personal injury claims are advertised everywhere nowadays; but what does this actually mean?

A “No Win No Fee” is exactly as it sounds; if your solicitor does not win your case for you, you will not be charged for their services. The reason solicitors are able to offer this service is because they would not take on a personal injury claim if they do not think they have a good enough chance of winning it. At The Injury Lawyers we offer this service, meaning you’ll never have to pay us penny.

Receive 100% of the compensation – how does the solicitor get paid?

If you have been injured in an accident which was not your fault, it is likely that you have a potential claim for compensation for your injuries. It is important to note that it’s not just your injuries you can receive compensation for.

If you have suffered any other form of loss directly resulting from your injuries, your injury lawyer can make a claim for these losses as well. So, what losses am I talking about? By losses, I mean things like a loss of earnings claim, care and assistance you required and had to pay for whilst you were injured, travel costs for when you attended appointments, and medication costs.  Here’s an example…

It is our belief here at The Injury Lawyers that every single one of our clients should keep every single penny of their compensation. That’s right – if you instruct us to deal with your claim for compensation, we will not take anything away from the compensation you obtain.

At The Injury Lawyers, we truly believe that each and every one of our clients should keep 100% of their compensation, not 75%, not 99%, but 100% of your compensation. After all, it is YOUR compensation. You are awarded compensation to place you in the position you would have been had your accident not occurred, and you had not been injured. 

If we were to take a percentage, even a tiny percentage of your compensation, that would mean that you had not been fully compensated for your injury.  You would not have been placed in the position you would have been in had the accident not occurred and you had not been injured.

Supermarket injury claims are a lot more common than most people think. There are so many ways in which you can end up being injured in a place full of liquids and food products; spillages and mess on the floors are extremely common. Just ask yourself the question – when was the last time you went in to a supermarket and didn’t notice something out of place on the floor?

So, what happens if you’re shopping along and you slip on a patch of spilt milk, or trip over a boxed up cheese cake lying on the ground? Some may say there’s no point in crying over spilt milk; but landing hard on a solid supermarket floor can easily leave you with a hefty bruise if you’re lucky enough to avoid a broken bone.
