Accident claimAccidents can, and do, happen – resulting in many thousands of people in the UK being injured every year as a result. If it can be proven that the accident was a result of another person’s actions or their negligence then the injured party may be entitled to compensation. An accident can take place in any situation – in a supermarket, at work, in the street and as long as there is someone who can be held responsible for the accident (other than yourself) then it is generally possible to pursue a claim for compensation. For example, an accident that occurs in the workplace when the employees are following the health and safety guidelines of the employer then the employer may be held responsible for the incident and therefore liable for the injury and resultant costs. The number of compensation claims being made has been on the increase over recent years, thanks in a large part to the introduction of the ‘no win no fee’ approach. With this approach, if your compensation claim is unsuccessful you won’t have to pay any solicitors fees, so removing the risk to the claimant of a failed accident claim. The majority of claims will be made against another party’s insurance, for example an employer’s public liability insurance or a motorists car insurance following an accident. This in general makes the claims process easier, as insurance companies are set up to pay out compensation for insured events. Not all accidents involve people or organisations that are covered by insurance policies, and many will deny responsibility for the accident - in these situations the injured person will usually need to take legal action to purse an accident claim through the small claims court, and a solicitor will be needed to carry out this action. |
