Everyday thousands of people are involved in accidents resulting in personal injury through no fault of their own. A personal injury occurs when a person suffers physical or psychological harm due to an accident. Having suffered an injury, victims of accidents often face time off work leading to financial problems which can have a detrimental effect on their recovery process.
The last 10 years has seen a tremendous rise in the number of claims that have been made by people who have received personal injures through no fault of their own. This is because people are now more aware of their rights and are rightly in a position to claim the compensation they are due.
To decide whether or not you are entitled to make a personal injury claim there are three basic facts that have to be established:
1. Someone had a legal responsibility for your welfare – There was a Duty of Care
This is defined as the legal responsibility placed on an organisation or person to do everything reasonably possible to protect others from harm eg an employer has a duty of care to his employees, a car driver has a duty of care to other road users and his passengers, a retailer has a duty of care to anyone visiting his store.
2. They failed to meet this responsibility – There was a breach of the Duty of Care
Duty of care is limited to reasonable behaviour. Individuals still have to take some responsibility for their own safety and to be aware of potential hazards. It is necessary to prove that the person you feel is to blame for the accident had a duty of care and that they failed in that duty. This can be done in a variety of ways including:
3 . You suffered a personal injury as a result of the breach
Even if someone has been negligent in the duty of care owed to you it is necessary to demonstrate that the breach resulted in a 'loss' which in legal terms includes a personal injury, damage to possessions or a financial loss.

The amount of compensation that can be claimed varies from case to case and is totally dependant on the circumstances of the incident and the severity of the personal injury that you have suffered.
General damages have no specific monetary value and cannot be precisely calculated. Things like pain and suffering or long term disability will fall under this category. These damages are awarded to people whose lifestyle has been impaired in some way as a result of the personal injury they have suffered. If you have been involved in an accident and are no longer able to apply for jobs on the open market as a result of your injuries compensation will be paid for loss of work and also for loss of opportunity for work.
Financial losses that can be accurately calculated are known as special damages. These can include:
All of our panel firms are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and are selected for their expertise in the field of personal injury claims. You can rest assured that they will work hard to get the maximum amount of compensation for you. In some cases this will involve fighting your case in Court (although in practice the majority of cases are settled without the need to go to Court)
Everybody has the right to choose their own personal injury solicitor to act for them. Often if you have legal expenses insurance as part of your household or motor insurance a solicitor will be recommended to you by your insurance company – you do not have to use them but can choose your own solicitor.
