Legal Expert’s Research Into Personal Injury Claims Against Ealing Council

Legal Expert hs uncovered that personal injury claims cost Ealing Council £150,532 in the past year after making a Freedom of Information request.

The local authority confirmed that a total of 44 personal injury claims were made against them from April 2022 to April 2023.

The main cause of these claims was slip, trip or fall accidents. Over 77% of claims were caused by these types of accidents.

Other causes for personal injury claims included:

• E-scooter accidents – 1
• Accidents on education premises – 1
• Residential home accidents – 1
• Assault claims – 1
• Other – 6

Ealing Council has a duty of care to ensure any premises, spaces or highways they control are reasonably safe for visitors and employees.

If you have been injured in an accident caused by council negligence, you may have grounds for a valid claim. You can get in touch at any time for a free consultation.

How Do Personal Injury Claims Work?

If you have a valid cause to make a claim (more on this in the section below), you can ask a personal injury solicitor to process a claim for you. Your solicitor will then gather all of the facts of the case, and approach the defendant and inform them of your intention to seek compensation. The defendant will then engage a solicitor to represent them. Negotiations take place, to prove liability and attempt to reach an out of court settlement. If no out of court settlement is reached, the claim will go to court for a decision to be made.

Legal Expert is a fully experienced and skilled team of injury and accident solicitors that can help you through this process in your own claim. Please get in touch with our Ealing personal injury solicitors to learn more.

Check That You Are Eligible To Claim Compensation

In order to be able to make a claim, you must have a valid cause to pursue compensation from a third party. Generally speaking, if you are caused harm by the actions of a third party, you could potentially be eligible to approach them for compensation. A third party could be any unique legal entity such as:

• A private individual.
• A shop, supermarket or restaurant.
• A privately-owned company.
• A hospital, dental practice or clinic.
• A taxi driver.
• Your landlord.
• The company you work for.
• The local housing authority.

As you can see, this list could go on and on. The only thing that needs to be true, is that some kind of separate legal entity was at least partially to blame for your accident, and that the action they took which harmed you could have been avoided.

On top of this, you can also claim for accidents that you were partly the cause of. The third party involved will plead a lowered percentage of liability, and compensation will be calculated accordingly.

The issues of eligibility and liability can be confusing. If you are still not clear on whether you have a valid claim, call Legal Expert on the number at the bottom of the guide. One of our team will be able to tell you if you have a claim or not.

Why Having The Right Legal Team Is Important To Getting Compensation

When choosing a personal injury solicitor, West London residents need to understand that the proficiency of their solicitor will affect the outcome of their claim. Consider the following facts:

• How skilled your solicitor is in processing your claim, will have a direct effect on the likelihood of you winning your claim.
• How proficient your legal team is in handling your claim, could have a very significant positive effect on the amount of compensation you get.

Put simply, a better solicitor has more chance of winning your claim and securing the most compensation. Therefore, it is vital that you find the best legal team for the task. Legal Expert is a specialised injury and accident claim firm. We focus on helping people to get the compensation that they are entitled to. We can help anyone in Ealing who needs to make a claim. Call us on the number at the end of the page to find out how we can assist you.

Compare Solicitors Through Customer Reviews

As the section above stipulates, you need to find the best solicitor to process your claim. Unfortunately, this can be a time-consuming task unless you can find an intelligent way to create a shortlist of prospective legal firms to then vet. One way you can do this, is by reading solicitor reviews. When you are reading the reviews, keep the following mind.

• The review needs to cover a claim that is very similar to your own.
• The review needs to be current enough to still be relevant.
• The solicitor needs to have taken the claim on under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).
• The review will need to state how much the solicitor took as a percentage of the compensation as their fee.
• The review must be positive and explain why the legal firm was a good choice.

If you consider facts such as these above, you will be extracting the best value from the reviews. However, it is still going to be a pretty lengthy process comparing reviews and creating your shortlist. If you don’t have time to carry this task out, you can let Legal Expert help you. If you call us on the number at the end of the page, one of our team will discuss your compensation claim with you, and inform you of your legal options. Our Ealing personal injury solicitors can also help to get your claim started if you are ready to do so.

Why Your Solicitor Could Be Based Anywhere Across The Country

It is surprising how many claimants we speak to here at Legal Expert, who are under the impression that there is some legal requirement for them to use a local personal injury lawyer to process their claim. This is not the case; you are able to use any solicitor you wish, with no restriction regarding their location.

With this fact in mind, you will now need to decide whether the ease of dealing with a local firm, outweighs the fact that a specialised accident and injury solicitor could have a better chance of winning your claim.

Logic dictates that you use a specialised personal injury solicitor to make your claim, removing location form the selection criteria completely. For example, Legal Expert focuses on helping people that have been injured or become ill, to get the compensation that is rightfully theirs. We offer this service nationally, to all people in the UK. We can also arrange for you to receive local help, such as a free medical examination. Give us a call on the number at the bottom of this page to find out exactly how we can assist you.

What Types Of Accident Do Our Injury Claims Team Conduct In Your Area?

Legal Expert specialises in injury and accident claims, meaning that we can help people with the full range of claim types within these two categories. We take on any claim where the client has a valid cause to pursue compensation. This can range from simple claims for slipping on a wet floor, through to complex claims involving clinical or professional negligence.

There are a number of types of claims that we see far more often than others though. In the next few sections of this guide with will take a look at some of these common claim types. If your claim doesn’t seem to fit into any of these sections, don’t worry, we can still help you. You can call one of our team on the number at the end of the guide, and explain the circumstances of your accident. They will then tell you how we can assist you with how to claim.

Industrial Diseases

If you become ill, or develop a disease as a result of your employer in Ealing not providing you with a healthy working environment, you could be able to make a personal injury claim. Legally, your employer must make sure that the place you work is free of health hazards. If they don’t, they would be liable to pay compensation.

An important fact to note here, is that in illness claims, the three-year time limit within which you must make your claim runs from the date your condition was first diagnosed. Not from the date the incidence causing it took place, as is the case with accident claims. This means you can pursue previous employers who have exposed you to a health hazard for compensation.

Legal Expert and our Ealing personal injury solicitors can help people claim for work-related illnesses and industrial diseases. If you call us on the number at the end of the page, one of our team will explain how we can help you with your own claim.

Medical Malpractice Or Negligence

Both the NHS and the UK Government make an effort to cut down on the number of occurrences in government-run and private healthcare establishments. Despite this, negligence is still fairly common.

Any time that a medical professional has a duty of care towards a patient, and they fail in this duty of care causing harm, then negligence could have taken place. However, it needs to be proven that the action the medical professional took that led to a patient being harmed were avoidable for a valid claim to exist.

If you have been injured by a doctor, nurse, surgeon, or any other medical professional, Legal Expert might be able to help you to make a claim. Call us on the number at the end of this guide to find out how. You may also like to check our negligence claims guide here:

Ealing Personal Injury Solicitors FAQs

What is a Letter Of Claim?

This is the written statement that the victim makes with their intention to sue the defendant.

What happens next?

The defendant has 28 days to respond and accept liability, otherwise legal proceedings will then begin.

What is the solicitor’s role at this stage?

So, the solicitor will begin to negotiate a potential settlement with the defendant.

When do I receive my first compensation offer?

This could come anytime after the defendant begins to accept responsibility.

Should I take the opening offer?

No, because the chances are high that you will later receive a stronger second offer.

What happens if I turn down an offer?

If you do this, you can’t accept the same offer later on, though you could accept a subsequent offer.

Can I make a counter-offer?

Yes, you can suggest an offer of your own with the hope that the defendant deems it suitable.

How might a counter-offer succeed?

This will succeed if you can properly justify why you and your solicitor believe that the figure is appropriate.
