Work equipment accidents and compensation advice
Work equipment accidents can be incredibly common, but they can also be very avoidable. In some cases, employees can be seriously injured, and that’s where our work is so important.
It’s vital to know that you’re protected by important health and safety legislation that exists to stop you being injured in an accident through the course of your employment. These regulations put a duty on your employer to take all reasonable steps that can prevent injuries, and there are also specific actions that they need to take to prevent accidents.
If you’ve been injured at work in an accident that wasn’t your fault, and equipment was involved, we may be able to represent you for a personal injury claim on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Had a car accident in bad weather?
It’s winter. So, if you have had a car accident in bad weather, know your rights when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation.
Using the weather as an excuse for an accident taking place isn’t something you just have to accept. All road users should know that they need to adjust their behaviour in colder and wetter weather. The roads can be more slippery, and there may be snow and ice to contend with, as well as visibility being reduced.
These are elements that drivers must adjust to in order to stay safe, and any failure to do may allow victims to be able to pursue a legal case for compensation.
Serious accidents caused by a drunk driver
It’s the time of year when there are still some drivers who go out there and put others in danger by drink driving. If you have been seriously injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver, we may be able to help you.
Simply put, there’s never an excuse for getting behind the wheel of a vehicle when you’re over the legal limit to drive. The same goes for motorbike riders as well, of course.
When accidents are caused by drink drivers, the injuries the victims can suffer from can be more severe for a number of reasons. As a law firm, we specialise and focus on serious injury compensation claims when it comes to personal injury. We can offer No Win, No Fee arrangements as well.
When it comes to facial injury claims, instructing the right law firm to represent you can be incredibly important given the seriousness how these cases can develop.
This is especially the case when it comes to life-changing facial injury claims. You will need expert injury lawyers with access to the best legal advice and experts, which is why we’re covering this topic.
As a law firm that focuses on, and specialises in, serious and catastrophic cases when it comes to injury claims, we’re set up and established to offer the right kind of legal services required. A huge proportion of the injury cases we now deal with are for serious injuries and complex matters for a reason: this is what we truly focus on when it comes to personal injury matters.
NHS waiting times Christmas 2019
It’s that time of year when we may see NHS waiting times increase, and there may be cases of the so-called “winter crisis” hitting our healthcare service again.
The NHS is already underfunded, and when we hit the winter months, the strain on services can increase. We’re also set to have a particularly cold winter this year which may also make matters worse.
But patient safety must always remain the priority. Whatever happens, patients should not suffer as a result of negligence from A&E or from anywhere else. If they do, we know that lives can be turned upside down, and that’s where our legal advice and specialist help is needed.
Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust medical negligence advice
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SATH) maternity scandal has been labelled the “largest maternity scandal in NHS history”.
It centres around a leaked internal report that appears to outline some 40 years of potentially substandard and negligent care, and there may be around 600 cases where failures have taken place. Dozens of deaths and cases of children being left with permanent and life-altering brain damage are being blamed on inadequate care and advice. It’s a tragic story, and as specialist medical negligence lawyers, all we can do is offer our support and advice for those who need it.
It’s understood that there may be previous cases and complaints that the Trust has dismissed that now need looking into. If that applies to you, or where you believe you or someone you love has been affected by issues at the Trust, we may be able to help.
Making a faulty product compensation claim
You can speak to our team today about making a faulty product compensation claim and whether we can help you on a No Win, No Fee basis.
We’ve been involved with a lot of individual and group actions cases that stem from faulty and dangerous products. This doesn’t just cover injuries that stem form tumble dryers and cars, but it can also cover medical products as well. In fact, medical products are some of the most common types when it comes to people being harmed.
Here’s a little advice about your rights when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation that arises from a faulty product.
Claiming compensation for vaginal mesh removal
When vaginal mesh removal has become a requirement, it’s important for victims to know that they may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation.
Our expert injury lawyers are representing a number of patients who have suffered horrendous complications that have arisen from TVT mesh implants. Some of the problems that can be caused mean that women must undergo an additional procedure to try and remove the implant, and in some cases, this isn’t always possible. In some cases, women can be left with defective implants inside for the rest of their lives.
Given that this is such a serious problem, what can women do when the need for removal leaves them with pain and suffering?

Our initial advice is always free and on a no-obligation basis as well, and we can often tell you on the very first call whether your claim is one that we can take forward.
Claim compensation for being struck by machinery at work
If you suffer personal injury as an employee who is struck by machinery at work, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Workplace regulations are strenuous; especially when it comes to work and plant equipment. The dangers of moving machinery are obvious, and even more so in the case of large machinery that could impact, crush, cut, or otherwise injure employees.
If you’re inured during the course of your employment, and the injury has been caused by being struck by machinery, you may be entitled to make a workplace compensation claim.
