What Types Of Claims Could Personal Injury Solicitors For Scarborough Help Me With?

Our personal injury solicitors for Scarborough have immense experience working on different types of claims. Some examples of the types of claims they could help you with include:

Accident At Work Claims

Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, your employer owes you a duty of care to take reasonable steps to ensure your safety while working.

If they fail to do so, and you suffer an injury as a result, you may be able to make an accident at work claim.

Public Liability Claims

Under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, anyone in control of a public space has a duty of care to take necessary measures to ensure the reasonable safety of those visiting that space.

If they fail to do so, and you suffer an injury as a result, you may be able to make a public liability claim.

Road Traffic Accident Claims

Everyone who uses the roads has a duty of care to navigate them safely to avoid causing an accident. Additionally, they must also adhere to the Road Traffic Act 1988 and the Highway Code.

If a road user fails to do this and you suffer an injury as a result, you may be able to make a road traffic accident claim.
