When you’re in a supermarket, you are owed a duty of care by the supermarket company to take all reasonable steps to prevent you being injured on their premises. The Occupiers Liability Act is the important piece of health and safety legislation that enforces this duty of care.
Foot injuries can be terribly debilitating. When our ability to walk and move about is affected, the consequences this can have on our work, social, and domestic lives can be significant. There is often a lot of associated losses and expenses for these sorts of claims, which we know as Special Damages.
Training is important in preventing accidents in the workplace. When it comes to general health and safety – such as using equipment, lifting and carrying, using protective equipment, or working at heights – training can be the difference between safety and danger.
A lot has changed in the last few years. The way in which personal injury compensation claims are handled is very different, and they way in which legal fees can be recovered has been totally changed.

Recent press releases confirmed that Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council have awarded £250,000 to 26 victims of the five children’s homes identified in an abuse scandal dating back to the 1970’s. The Beechwood home in Mapperley, Nottingham, was closed more than 8 years ago and was at the centre of the scandal.
It can be rather difficult to win a compensation award for personal injury caused by medical negligence. There are plenty of inherent risks and things that cannot be immediately identified right away, and these delays or problems can cause serious suffering.
A fractured knee can be a very painful and debilitating injury to suffer from. Having suffered from a multi-ligament rupture to the knee myself, which can cause similar problems, I know all too well how problematic and life-altering these sorts of injuries can be.
As a delivery driver, there are a lot of ways you can end up injured in the line of duty. You’re out and about on the road much more which means there is a greater chance of being in a road accident; you’re probably going to be unloading or loading vehicles which can lead to manual handling injuries; and there could be injuries caused on a wagon itself.
Sometimes when you make a claim, winning or losing comes down to one simple thing – was your employer aware, or should they have been aware, of a danger or a hazard? Claims can only be successful where we can prove a breach of important health and safety legislation. Your employer has to have been negligent and has to have breached the duty of care they owe to you.
