PERSONAL INJURY
It is estimated that over 700000 people are injured each year in this country as a result of accidents that are caused by other people.
There are those that are severely injured by violent or sexual assaults or other criminal activities, often in the care of those that are charged with looking after them. The injury in these cases often manifests itself in psychological as well as physical injury.
Thousands suffer illnesses and conditions caused by exposure to dusts, fumes, vibrating or noisy equipment, bad work techniques or positioning and poor lighting.
Stress affects an increasing number of workers who are subject to abuse from colleagues and managers or simply through overwork and poor training.
In almost every one of the 700000 cases there is a significant financial loss on top of the suffering from the physical and or psychological injury itself. Yet many people still do not make a claim for compensation, put off by a perception of high legal costs and a complex legal system. But a good solicitor steers you round those problems. You may already have insurance that will pay your legal costs and if you do not, such insurance can be arranged by your solicitor, even after the accident has happened. No win – No fee is available should you not already have insurance and in cases where your costs can not be insured or recovered from your opponent agreement can be reached as to how much it will cost you to pursue your case.
