Injury Compensation Claims
by: John Eastwood
INJURY COMPENSATION CLAIMS


Accidents do happen, but if you feel you had a slip trip or fall that was due to someone else’s negligence, you have the right to claim compensation. Personal injuries because of slipping, tripping and falling are a fact of life, but sometimes they are the result of carelessness on the part of individuals or municipal councils who are liable to pay compensation for it.

Though most public areas in the U.K. conform to the highest safety standards, occasionally a poorly maintained road, pavement, car park or shopping area can become the cause for personal injury. One could trip on a warped or pitted road, pavement, walkway or car park. One could also slip on dangerously polished floors, fall down poorly constructed or maintained stairs or trip over worn floor coverings or obstructions.

In the case of slips and trips in public areas like roads, walkways and pavements, the local authorities responsible for their upkeep can be held liable if negligence is established. The authorities are expected to carry out frequent inspection and maintenance, especially in areas of high foot traffic. Shops and occupiers of other similar public places are duty-bound to keep the premises safe for their customers. They are required to have staff locating and removing items customers might have spilled or dropped on the floor in order to prevent injury to other visitors.

If you should sustain injuries after taking a fall or slipping in another person’s home, you are entitled to compensation if it was the result of the occupier or proprietor’s negligence. It is the occupier’s responsibility to keep the house safe by picking dropped objects like toys off the floor and wiping off spilt liquids so that no one is hurt. Slips, trips and falls are also common in the workplace and liability in such cases rests with the employer.

When a slip trip fall claim is filed, the law takes into consideration whether the owner/caretaker of the premises where the accident occurred takes “reasonable” care of the property. Reasonableness here relates to a regular inspection and maintenance regime. The claimant will also be questioned about whether he/she was distracted at the time of the accident or was careless in any way that might have led to the slip, trip or fall. One is expected to watch where he/she is going. If there were warnings of hazards that went unheeded or if the claimant was careless, the claim will fail.

 Personal Injury Claim - Win Without A Doubt!
 by: Mumtaz Shah

Everyone likes winning! If you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning! Now winning at personal injury is a different ball game altogether. Do you want to claim compensation in direct result of an accident or injury? Okay, that's fine go ahead, you deserve it!

Life Before A Personal Injury Claim

I bet it was awesome… You were having the time of your life. Winning at everything, football, cricket, racing, baseball and even at work. Met targets, been promoted and of the likes. You were at the top of Mount Everest, going crazy like Rocky at the top of the stadium.

You've heard about accident injury claims and injury compensation claims meaning all the same thing. But never had the pleasure of feeling it and you DON'T want to. You think it can't be that bad except when you get involved in a car accident. Those I believe are painful!

Anyway reaching the pinnacle of success couldn't get any better.

Then one day an accident injury occurs… to YOU!

Your life falls apart. You can't win a single thing! Not even a date. You become a goof in the eyes of other people. You use to go out every Friday night. But now thanks to the accident injury, your bed is the only Friday night entertainment... well for the time being.

Life During An Injury Or Injury Claim

You feel like crap. PERIOD!

You were the first person everyone called when there was something going on everyday. You were like an operator, call after call after call. You had to specifically buy a phone that had a battery life for enough talk time in a whole day.

Now you don't even charge it for days and still your battery's full!

The Picture

There's nothing much you can do, beside catch up on films you kept thinking you'd get round to one day. Now you can watch movies all day or keep up to date with the news. What's happening around the world?

Before you hear about an accident and think how awful. But now you have absolute sincere remorse for those people in such situations. Just like Hurricane Katrina. How terrible is that?

The Feeling

You feel for other people, their losses, regardless how large or small.

Considering the best you can do is watch TV, soap after soap, movies after movie. There’s one thing you should never watch are the music channels!

These are happy, joyful 5 minute clips of people dancing, clapping, rocking their body and of the likes. If after a couple of clips your favourite tune comes on. You wanna move. You'll remember how it felt to be in such a happy position, singing and dancing.

You forget about your injury and move... 'OUCH!'

You remember you're injured and feel like crap again. Then you'll start wishing you weren't in that position and how the hell did you even get in that position in the first place. Just the thought of not moving let alone winning the games makes you think about your life in a different perspective.

The Move

After days of thoughts, it's time to do something about it. Get the best medication possible for pain relief, get a physiotherapy arranged, anything that gets you out of bed. Anything to be part of the real world again.

But what about the time lost? How are you going to get that back as once it's gone it's gone. You can't recover that, practically impossible!

The Injury Claim

Make an accident claim or an injury claim, both giving the same result. Choose the best no win no fee solicitor around and go for it. Then pour your feelings out! Sounds crazy even stupid for some people to mention their emotions to an accident solicitor let alone a stranger. It tends to be more difficult for men than women.

A compensation solicitor knows how you feel, they see many of the likes day in day out. However, if you don't mention your feelings including your injury then they can't make the 'ultimate winning personal injury claim'.

The Settlement

Compensation settlements cheques are based on various factors. It's not just your physical ability that's affected, so are your feelings.

For example if you were the best center forward in your neighbourhood, everyone wants you on their team. You can't play for anyone and after a while they don't want you on their team. How would you feel?

Hundreds of professional players around the world have to give up their careers cause of an accident injury. They also have to choose a different profession. It kills them psychologically! So what helps them to forget and move on? A compensation claim! Not exactly getting them back in the profession, but does compensate them to carry on with their lives.

Think about it?
