Other compensation claims
Compensation can be claimed for all incidental injuries on a no win-no fee basis.
Remember that anyone who suffers an injury in an accident can make a claim for compensation.
It doesn’t matter how serious the injury is or even how it occurred – what counts is whether it is possible to show that a third party has been negligent. In other words, if someone else was responsible (wholly or in part) then you could have grounds for a personal injury claim.
This page deals with accidents fall into the categories of holiday accidents, animal-related injury claims and trips and falls.
HOLIDAY COMPENSATION
It may be possible to claim for compensation against package holiday
tour companies if you suffered an accident and injury
while you were on holiday.
ANIMAL CLAIMS
Injuries caused by animals include things like being bitten by a
dog. In this case, for example, it may be possible to claim against
the owner or keeper of the animal. But bear in mind that it
may not be worth pursuing a claim if they cannot afford to pay damages
and do not have insurance
OTHER INJURIES
Accidents can be caused by uneven or
poorly maintained surfaces or be due to spillages which have not been cleared.
It may be possible to claim against the local council
for trips and falls on pavements or roads which they are responsible
for maintaining, or against the owners/occupiers of private property,
including private owners, commercial businesses and shops.
