Are you one of the millions of people who have had an accident, suffered as a result, but are toying with the idea of claiming compensation. Maybe your accident was at work and you are worried about losing your job. Maybe you slipped on uneven concrete on a public path but are unsure what to do next.

There seems to be a stigma attached to getting compensation which I think is because of America being on the other end of the scale meaning you only have to sneeze in the wrong way and you are sued. Obviously this is an over exaggeration, but the Yanks do tend to claim for compensation for any minor ailment.

You can claim compensation for many different types of accidents. Some of the most common accidents are road traffic accidents including motorcycle accidents, accidents a work, slip and trips in supermarkets or on uneven pavement. Other claims include industrial diseases, construction accidents, holiday accidents, dog bite injury, medical negligence, product liability and asbestos claims. The list could go on and on. Basically if you have had an accident where you were injured but the accident was not the fault of your own and caused by someone else’s recklessness then you are entitled to claim compensation. If the accident was partly someone else’s fault you will still have a claim, you just may not get as much compensation.

A road traffic accident describes any accident that happens on a road or footpath. Road traffic accidents are the cause of an estimated 1.2 million deaths worldwide every year and are said to injury about forty times this number.

Every person who uses the road, whether in a car, motorcycle, van, lorry or as a cyclist or pedestrian has a duty of care to ensure the safety of not only themselves but also the safety of other road users. Due to this you should always ensure that you comply with the Highway Code.

Have you been the victim of an accident at a supermarket? Have you been offered a couple hundred pounds for compensation? Or, did they offer you a bunch of flowers and some vouchers to exchange for items in their own store?

This practice is more common than you think. And a lot of the victims are older people of pension age. They are on their pension and usually have no resources to instruct solicitors. Or if they do they are worried that this will deplete their life savings. So they settle for what the insurance company offer to them which in a number of cases amounts to an apology, a bunch of flowers and some vouchers.

It has been estimated that more than three million people are injured every year due to personal injury accidents that should have been avoided. These accidents could occur on the road, at work, in a public place, a slip trip or fall or due to medical negligence. All of these are known as personal injury and if they occurred through no fault of your own then you could be entitled to compensation. In more cases then none these accidents do occur due to the negligence of another person.
