Taking legal action for your accident

Being involved in an accident can seriously harm your health both mentally and physically, especially if the accident wasn’t your fault. However, you will need to seek medical attention if you have sustained injuries from your accident as well as consult a solicitor.

Speaking to a solicitor might be last thing on your mind but it can put your mind at rest about your accident. Your solicitor will be able to advise you about whether or not to go down the path of taking legal action against those responsible for your accident. After all the accident was not your fault and you should not have to suffer because of somebody else’s negligent behaviour.

The solicitor that you decide to hire to deal with your case should and will handle everything on your behalf. This leaves you to concentrate on getting yourself well again and getting back to work. Your solicitor will fight for compensation. This compensation will cover any loss of earnings, medical expenses as well as punitive damages.

It might seem like a daunting task, but your case will be in the safe hands of your solicitor so you won’t have to worry about a thing.

Tragic Accident leads to death of child

More Personal Injury No Win No Fee Claims in the news

Three companies in Dorset are to face legal action over the death of a child according to today's news. In a very tragic incident, the 9 year old was crushed to death by an electric gate at his grandparents home in April 2006. Poole Borough Council are prosecuting 3 firms as a result of this incident. Two firms are to face legal action under the Health and Safety at Work act and the third under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) regulations. The cases are due to be heard before Wimborne Magistrates Court later this year. An inquest recorded a verdict of accidental death.

This is a very sad story indeed and our hearts go out to the family of the dead child. It highlights that vendors of tools, equipment and products need to take great care to ensure the safety of UK Citizens. The family will likely claim compensation, but no settlement will be sufficient to cover the terrible loss of their child.

Midwife Sues couple

Personal Injury No Win No Fee Claims in the news

It has been reported today that a couple in Hull are being sued by a Midwife who was injured during a routine home visit to see them after the birth of their twins. The Midwife has taken private legal action and instructed a Solicitor to sue the couple under The Occupiers Act 1957 and has been reported as stating that they are liable for her injuries for failing in their duty of care to provide a safe place of work.

The claim is based on the fact that the Midwife alleges that she fell on the stairs by catching her foot on a buggy that had been left in the way. To me, it would seem that there is split liability here and plenty of causation against the midwife. Surely she could see the buggy and should have either moved it or asked for it to be moved? Alternatively, she could have stepped over it and avoided a fall? It could also be argued (as is being done by the claimant Solicitor) that the couple should not have left the buggy in the way!
It is an interesting case, but I am not sure that the claimant will succeed. It remains to be seen!
