Road Accidents
Cars and other vehicles have never been safer, but our roads have never been busier, which makes road accidents a common occurrence in the UK.
If you are the victim of a road accident and it was not your fault then you may well be entitled to make a claim for compensation for your pain, suffering and losses. This applies to you whether you were the driver, passenger, motorcyclist, cyclist or even a pedestrian.
Examples Of Road Accidents Include
- Injuries sustained whilst a passenger on a bus
- Cyclist struck by a car
- Car driver injured by another driver
Accidents at Work
Workplaces in the UK are safer than ever thanks to various UK and European legislation and the sterling work of the Health and Safety Executive. However, accidents still do happen in all kinds of workplaces including:
The types of accidents can range from simple trips, falls in an office to falls from height and machinery accidents in a factory or on a construction site.
Our solicitors are very experienced in all types of accident at work claims, so get in touch to see if you have a valid claim.
Examples of Accidents At Work
- Accident due to dangerous machinery
- Back injuries due to no manual handling training
- Trips over wires in an office
Accidents In a Public Place
These can include accidents or injuries sustained whilst walking on a Carlisle path, road or other public places such as in a shopping centre or leisure centre. The most common of these are simple trips, slips and falls.
Whilst some injuries sustained can be relatively minor, some can have long-lasting effects. Our personal injury solicitors for Carlisle accidents are ready to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Examples Of Public Place Accidents Include:
● Tripping over stock left in a supermarket aisle
● Slipping over spilt liquid in a restaurant
● Falling over a cracked paving stone in the street
Proving Your Injury Claim
By law, compensation for personal injuries is only payable where blame or fault can be established and losses proved. In any claim, it is not enough to simply state that an accident has happened and an injury has occurred.
Evidence From Witnesses
In some cases, it is not possible to prove fault or blame without gathering evidence. That means that in some personal injury cases, it is necessary to find and interview people who saw the accident. If you can get witness contact details and pass them on to your solicitor, that could be very helpful.
Other forms of evidence include things like medical reports, photographs of the scene of the accident and any relevant CCTV footage.
Our personal injury solicitors for Carlisle injury claims can carry out these investigations and gather evidence.
Do I Have To Use Personal Injury Solicitors In Carlisle?
In the past, it may have been necessary for you to search specifically for personal injury solicitors in Carlisle if this is the city you live in. However, thanks to modern communication methods such as email and online video call apps, it is now easy and convenient to connect with solicitors across the country.
Here at Legal Expert, our solicitors can offer their support to claimants whether they are in Carlisle or a different city. When a solicitor is supporting your claim and helping to gather evidence for your case, they may arrange for you to have a medical assessment which will likely take place in a Carlisle medical centre. Also, if your case ends up going to court, then it may be heard in a local court, such as Carlisle County Court. Apart from these specific scenarios, it is unlikely you will ever need to travel anywhere outside Carlisle while your claim is being processed.
