Making a claim for an accident at work against your employer can be very worrying and stressful if you dont know the facts. Employers must have an insurance policy to cover them against injuries at work for example a fall at work for employees and the public. If you make a claim against your employer for a fall at work or even a back injury at work then their insurance policy will be paying out for the damages you claim. So the worst that can happen is their insurance policy will be increased similar to car insurance claims. It is against the law for your employer to dismiss you on the basis that you have made a claim. The worst that can happen is you will get the less desirable jobs until they get over it.
We help drivers and passengers who have been in a car accident that wasn’t their fault to make a personal car accident claim. We also help passengers who are in a car accident make a personal injury car accident claim against the driver of the vehicle they were in if the driver is liable for the car accident. Making a claim against the driver doesn’t penalize their insurance further if they have to pay for the damages to the vehicles involved in the road traffic accident.
A public liability claim is a claim made against injuries sustained from an accident that occurs on property that is open to the public. If you have had an accident in a public building or on a road or pavement you will be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Accidents in public can occur in a variety of places, and usually happen from simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sufficient steps must be taken to oversee the safety of the public and if injury occurs through negligence than you can claim for full and just compensation. Public liability also covers accidents caused by unsafe public property or property that is left in dangerous places. Examples include a slip, trip, fall or cut caused by protruding objects and electric shocks as a result of an exposed wire.

Visitors to land and premises are covered by the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957 and the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1984.
The 1957 Act deals with lawful visitors and the 1984 Act deals with trespassers.
S2 (2) of the Act is quite clear, it states ...... “The common duty of care is a duty to take such care as in all the circumstances of the case is reasonable to see that the visitor will be reasonably safe in using the premises for the purpose for which he is invited or permitted to be there .....”
The most common causes of slip, trip or fall accidents are spillages which leave the floor slippery or badly maintained paths which cause raised sections of ground or potholes.
Trips, slips and falls at work are also a frequent occurrence when walkways are obstructed or carpets are not fitted properly. If you suffer a slip, trip or fall due to someone else's negligence, then you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim. If you slip on a pool of water inside a building open to the public such as a bank, a supermarket or a restaurant and injure yourself, then the personal injury compensation claim would be made against the occupier's public liability insurance policy.

The medical profession are generally regarded as providing excellent, caring service for their patients. Nevertheless, if you, your spouse or child, have been injured, or if you are the dependant or child of a patient who died, as a result of medical treatment you are, at the very least, entitled to an explanation. A treating doctor, in fact, is required by his governing body, the General Medical Council www.gmc-uk.org, to inform a patient when that treatment has gone wrong.
Where the injury or death was caused or contributed to by the breach of a duty of care committed in the course of the provision of clinical or medical services, including dental or nursing services, you and/or your child may be entitled to financial compensation for what is termed "clinical negligence", formerly - and often still - described as "medical negligence".
