Our Services - What do we do?

Car Accident

Car accident can be a very traumatic experience, even if your injury is not considered to be serious. If you make a car accident claim the insurance of the person responsible for the the accident will have to decide whether to accept the claim and what compensation to offer you for your particular injury.

 

We always advice people if they have a camera at the scene of accident to take photos the collision, this will provide

us with more detailed analysis of the accident. If you don’t have a camera but have a mobile phone that has a camera, you can utilise that facility. If in the event you don’t have either of them, don’t worry we can still help you.

Work Accident

Accidents that take place within the workplace can bring a lot of hardship and stress to you and your family. You are entitles by law to claim compensation for any inj any sustained whilst performing your duty of work. Each situation and environment is different, and one key point to remember is that your employer has a duty of care towards you.

Accidents at work are very common and can occur in any job, in any situation. You shouldn’t be afraid of filing a work accident claim against an employer, if you have had an accident at work.

Every employer has a legal responsibility towards its employees, to ensure the environment is safe to work and the risk of an accident at work is minimised.

Your employer is not allowed to treat you unfairly or dismiss you for making a work place accident claim. All employers are required by lawton have insurance against staff accidents. This means that their insurance company will pay for your accident compensation and not your employer.

Some examples of workplace accidents claims might involve injuries such as:

  • Poor health & safety standards
  • Dangerous working practices
  • Unsafe system of work
  • Unsuitable or damaged equipment
  • Contact with dangerous materials

Also write down notes of how the accident happened, sketch the scene

if appropriate, take a not of name and numbers of witnesses. Its better to take notes straightaway.

Slip & Trip

Slips & trips are some of the most common accidents that occur in the UK. These unexpected accidents are usually caused by something like a broken flagstone on a pavement or a wet floor. Injuries from slips trips can include back pain, sprained ankles, head injuries, concussion, knee injury and many more. These accidents can happen anywhere and at anytime, including in a public place, supermarkets, shopping centre, pubs, restaurants, leisure facilities, schools, college or in a hospital.

If you trip over something that should be there like a footpath or a kerb and you fall, then its probably your own fault. However if you slip, trip or fall on something that should not be there like a broken flagstone or wet floor, then it may be someone else’s fault and you may be able to claim compensation. We strongly advice people to take photos of the area where the slip, trip & fall took place and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

 

Some of the hazards that can cause injuries leading to compensation claims include:

 

  • Tripping hazards like damaged flooring, flagstones & potholes
  • Slipping hazards, like wet floors that had no warning signs

Criminal Accident

In today’s society people are more often injured as a result of crime of violence, and now victims of violence & crime can be awarded compensation by CICA (Criminal Injury Compensation Authority). This is a government scheme design and setup to ensure victims of crime & violence can apply for justice and get compensated. If you are an innocent victim of crime & violence you will be able to claim full compensation unless;
  • You have failed to report the incident to the police, or co-operate with them
  • You were not entirely innocent yourself and was involved in the violence
  • You have a criminal record, this could likely lead in a reduction of damages awarded.

If you, a family member or a friend has suffered from criminal injuries, you should call us on 01142 444449 or request a call back, one of our dedicated claims consultants will contact you and discuss your claim in more detail and put you forward to one of our network of specialist lawyers.
