How Do Legal Expert Help Victims Of Accidents That Were Not Their Fault?

If you are a Ceredigion resident involved in an accident that was not your fault that resulted in you becoming injured or ill, Legal Expert could help you claim tens of thousands of pounds in compensation. Whether you were the victim of a road traffic accident, accident at work, an accident in a shop, a slip and fall accident or any other sort of accident, we can provide you with an excellent personal injury solicitor that has an excellent track record of winning cases like yours. What’s more, each solicitor will offer you a No Win No Fee option, so there is no financial risk involved in making your claim.

In Great Britain, there is a three-year personal injury claims time limit, which usually means that you will have three years since your accident took place to make your claim. However, if you had a complicated diagnosis. Or were diagnosed with an injury that took many years to have its full effect on you (such as vibration white finger), then you will have three years from the time you realised that you had become injured or ill. To see if you are entitled to compensation and then begin your accident claim, call Legal Expert. And our personal injury solicitors in the Ceredigion area can provide expert advice for you today on how to claim.

Find Out If You Are Eligible To Make A Personal Injury Claim

In personal injury cases, the person claiming the compensation is called the Claimant. The person or party that they are claiming compensation from is called the Defendant. If you think you may be owed personal injury compensation, you may be anxious to know whether or not you legally qualify for it.

To make a successful accident claim for compensation, your solicitor will have to prove the following:

  1. That the Defendant owed you (the Claimant) a duty of care. A duty of care means that one party has a moral and legal responsibility to ensure the well being and uphold the health and safety of another party.
  2. That the Defendant was negligent towards you and breached their duty of care towards you.
  3. Finally, your solicitor will need to find evidence that the negligence on the part of the Defendant was the cause of your illness or injury. In the case of medical malpractice, you may need to provide evidence that their negligence worsened an existing medical condition.

So let’s give an example of what this means in real terms. A customer may have suffered an accident when they were shopping in a supermarket. The accident occurred because there was a spill on the floor. This is a health and safety hazard which the supermarket the Defendant would have been responsible for clearing up. Mopping up the spill and signposting the wet floor so that the customers and staff knew to avoid it would have been a sufficient control measure to mean that this hazard no longer put customers and staff at risk.

According to The Occupiers Liability Act of 1957 and the Health And Safety At Work Act of 1974, businesses have a duty of care towards their customers and staff, so ignoring a hazard is negligence. If the spill was ignored, this is negligence. If a customer suffers a slip and fall accident because of their spill, where they injure their back, the supermarket could be held liable for the customer’s injuries. The customer’s personal injury lawyer could find evidence to prove that the supermarket’s negligence caused the claimant’s back injuries by reviewing shop CCTV footage, eyewitness accounts and medical reports, amongst other items.

Why Having The Best Personal Injury Lawyer Is Crucial To Your Claim

If you are going to make a personal injury and accident claim, you must use the best personal injury lawyer to represent you in your claim. Using the personal injury lawyer with the right skills and experience to handle your claim will make a big difference as to whether you win your claim and are awarded as much compensation as you are entitled to? It pays to do your research. All solicitors in Great Britain are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). However, the quality of service you may receive may vary. Factors you should consider when choosing a solicitor’s firm can include the fees they charge, whether or not they offer a No Win No Fee package and if they specialise in certain types of accident and injury claims (for example, medical negligence or road traffic accidents).

To be guaranteed high quality of service, call Legal Expert to speak about your options. We can provide you with a personal injury solicitor with a strong track record of winning personal injury and accident claims similar to yours. Our solicitors will always fight to win you the maximum amount of compensation you are entitled to, and you will also get the opportunity to make a No Win No Fee claim. We have information below about things you should consider before making a No Win No Fee claim with our personal injury solicitors for Ceredigion.

Should I Read Personal Injury Solicitors Reviews Online?

Legal Expert recommends that you read reviews of solicitors online if you are thinking about making a personal injury claim. If you read reviews of solicitors online on services such as Google or TrustPilot, you can get an idea of whether or not the firm’s previous customers were happy with the service they received and would recommend them to someone they know. By reading personal injury solicitors reviews on the internet, you will also see what sort of claims the solicitors specialise in and whether or not they have a good track record of winning claims like yours.

Do I Have To Use A Ceredigion Personal Injury Solicitor?

It’s common for clients to think that if they live in Ceredigion, they have to use a Ceredigion personal injury solicitor or a West Wales solicitor to make their personal injury and accident claim. If you have been injured in Ceredigion, you can use a solicitor based anywhere in the country to handle your claim. Whilst you may be provided with a more local solicitor, the solicitor best suited to handling your claim may be based elsewhere. In that case, we would prioritise specialism and experience over the location.

It should be noted that our national claim service is not located in this area. You can be consulted remotely by your solicitor and keep up communication throughout your personal injury case using various methods. Of course, you will probably need a medical assessment which has to be done in person. Legal Expert can arrange for you to have your medical assessment done locally at a time and place that is more convenient to you. If you experience an accident that was not your fault, contact Legal Expert today to enquire about making a No Win No Fee claim. Our personal injury solicitors in the Ceredigion area will do the rest.

Personal Injury And Accident Claims Our Team Can Handle

At Legal Expert, our team handles compensation claims for all kinds of illnesses and injuries. As long as a claim fills the legal criteria to qualify for personal injury compensation, we will consider taking it on. Below are some examples of personal injury cases we can conduct for clients in Ceredigion and the rest of Wales.

Cases Of Clinical Negligence

If you have been made ill, injured, or had an existing medical condition worsened due to substandard care caused by medical negligence, you could be entitled to make a medical negligence claim for compensation. Medical practitioners such as doctors and nurses have a duty of care towards their patients, so if a patient is harmed because of negligence on the part of a medical practitioner or the institution that they work for, they could be held liable for their injuries and have to pay them for compensation. What are some examples of medical negligence, also known as medical malpractice? These could be a doctor misdiagnosing a patient, a surgical error, or failing to spot the signs of a serious time-bound illness such as cancer. If you or your next of kin have been harmed due to medical malpractice in Ceredigion or elsewhere, call Legal Expert today to see if you have grounds to make a claim.

Claiming For An Accident At Work

According to the Health and Safety Act of 1974, employers have a duty of care towards their employees, including agency workers and self-employed contractors, whilst they work on the organisation’s premises. Therefore employers are responsible for conducting regular risk assessments to identify health and safety hazards that could pose a risk to their staff. Then they must apply control hazards to remove what these hazards pose. If the employer fails to uphold their duty of care and an employee is injured or made ill because of negligence on the employer’s part, they could be held legally liable for the victim’s injuries and have to pay them compensation for any injuries caused.

The table below provides a glimpse into the potential payouts that you could receive for your claim. But if you are injured because of an accident at work in West Wales or elsewhere, call Legal Expert today to enquire about finding the best personal injury lawyer to represent your claim.

Industrial Disease Compensation Claims

Following this, let’s remember that part of an employer’s duty of care also means preventing employees from contracting industrial diseases. This means that if you work in an environment or with substances that can cause industrial diseases, or worsen an existing condition such as asthma, then your employer is legally obliged to protect you from these substances. If they fail to do so because of negligence, you could be entitled to claim tens of thousands of pounds from them in compensation. If you have contracted an industrial disease due to negligence on the part of your employer, call Legal Expert today to see if you are entitled to claim compensation.

Cases Of Trips Or Falls

Trip and fall injuries are a common cause of personal injury and accident claims. These accidents are easily avoidable, but unfortunately, they happen frequently because of simple acts of negligence. Cases of trips or falls can be caused by hazards on the floor such as a broken pavement slab, a wet floor in a restaurant, or broken floor tiles. They can also be caused by broken furniture, such as a broken railing, which can give way under someone’s weight, causing them to fall. If your injury from a slip and fall accident was serious enough to cause you to miss at least three days off work, you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries. Call Legal Expert today to enquire about claiming slip, trip and fall injury compensation. We will have the right personal injury solicitors covering Ceredigion for you.

Claims In Cases Of Serious Injuries

Sadly, we do sometimes represent claims for people who have experienced serious injuries. These could be life-changing injuries such as brain damage, third-degree burns or an injury that leaves the victim permanently disabled. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured because of negligence on the part of a third party, you should at the very least claim compensation to hold them accountable for their irresponsible actions. What’s more, if you make a successful personal injury and accident claim, your compensation will be able to provide you with the best possible care for your claim and support you in the years to come. Call us today to enquire about starting your claim with us today, or see our online guide serious injury compensation claims to get started.

Road Traffic And Car Crash Accident Claims

Drivers have a duty of care towards other road users. If someone drives irresponsibly or causes a road traffic accident due to negligence, they could be held legally liable for any injuries that they may cause and have to pay the victim compensation. These injuries could be drink-driving accidents, rear-end shunts, pedestrians being hit by cars and accidents involving roundabouts, amongst other scenarios. If you believe that you have grounds to make a road traffic accident claim, call Legal Expert today for free legal advice and to get started with your claim.

No Win No Fee Personal Injury Claims Explained

If you are a Ceredigion resident injured in an accident that was not your fault, making a No Win No Fee compensation claim may be the more affordable and less stressful option for you. There is no risk of going out of pocket with a No Win no fee claim if you do not win your claim. How does No Win No Fee work? You will be offered a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), which means that you will not have to pay your personal injury solicitor a penny if you do not win your claim. Because there is no financial risk involved, many clients feel more confident making a No Win No Fee claim. Also, because your solicitor’s fees will be deducted from your final pay package, you will not have to pay us any money upfront. Not having to pay upfront funds is also a bonus of making a No Win No Fee claim for many clients.

Is No Win No Fee Really Free?

Many clients can be sceptical of no win no fee claims and ask us, “Is No Win No Fee really free?” The answer is no; No Win No Fee compensation claims are not free. Instead, you pay your solicitors fees on the condition that your solicitor wins your compensation claim. If your solicitor does not win your claim, you will not pay, which means there is no risk of going out of pocket. In the likely event that you win your no win no fee claim, you will pay your fees out of your much larger compensation package. Please read our guide to using a No Win No Fee solicitor in West Wales or Britain today.
