Making Your Personal Injury Claim
If you are seeking compensation for a personal injury claim, you will be happy to hear that there is plenty of legislation to support you in this. Our solicitors have years of experience helping clients with their personal injury claims.
If you suffered an injury as a result of an accident that was not your fault, you may be able to recover compensation. You usually have three years from the date of your accident to make a claim.
To make a successful personal injury claim, you must be able to show three things:
- That there was a duty of care owed to you by the defendant
- They must show that duty was breached by the defendant
- Your injury must have occurred as a result of this breach
It is important that you begin your personal injury claim as soon as possible so that your No Win No Fee solicitor can gather useful supporting evidence.
Choosing The Best No Win No Fee Personal Injury Solicitor For Your Gloucester Accident Claim
Finding the right personal injury lawyer for your needs and situation is vital. Personal injury cases can take months to reach a conclusion, and if the injury or illness sustained is very severe, they can take years.
While all personal injury solutions are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), customer experience and service levels do differ from firm to firm. Legal Expert has excellent No Win No Fee solicitors who can help you get your life back on track.
Does It Matter Where The Lawyer Is Located?
You are not restricted to finding personal injury solicitors in Gloucester; you can choose a lawyer from any firm if you like the look of their success rates and fees.
The only part of your claim which usually must be performed locally is the medical assessment. This is carried out with a member of our national medical network and can be arranged by Legal Experts at your convenience. So, your travelling is kept to a minimum.
If court proceedings are necessary, these can also be local to you in the Gloucester area.
What Kinds Of Claims Do You Handle?
Our lawyers handle a wide range of cases. From things like broken bones or dislocations, all the way to things like paralysis or even fatal accidents, we have had success in helping clients be awarded the compensation they deserve.
The next few sections will focus on some of the more common areas of personal injury.
Accidents In The Workplace
Section 2 of the Health and Safety At Work etc. Act 1974 tells us that all employers have a legal duty of care to make sure their employees’ working environment is as safe as possible. This means things like spillages are cleaned up to avoid falls. All staff need to be properly trained too, as inadequate training can also lead to injuries. These are both examples of how an employer could breach their duty of care.
Road Traffic Accidents
When road users are negligent, it can mean they have not properly followed the rules laid out in the Highway Code. Drivers, passengers, cyclists, and even pedestrians can all be eligible to make a claim for injuries sustained in a road traffic accident (RTA).
Gathering Evidence With The Help Of Personal Injury Solicitors For Gloucester
There are a number of key pieces of evidence you’ll need to acquire. The more quality evidence you have to back up your claim, the better. Some examples include:
- Photographs – of your injuries, possibly even of the unsafe conditions that caused it or the accident site
- Written witness statements – others nearby may have seen how you were injured, having them back up your story on the record could help a great deal. If you can pass on contact details of witnesses to you, that is great.
- CCTV footage – if your injury was captured by CCTV cameras, you have the legal right to request the footage of yourself
- Medical records – this could be a combination of the records from your initial hospital visit and also your independent medical assessment.
