Personal Injury Lawyers UK

Recent injury compensation awards by the courts in the UK have clearly shown that the compensation will depend on the severity of the injury and its impact on other aspects of the victim’s life, as seen by the court. Not all injury cases get six figure compensation, and but it is also not uncommon to see six figure compensation.

You should select a solicitor with experience in a wide range personal injury claims, including your specific injury. A wider experience helps in advising on how to get personal injury compensation in the most effective manner. Read the rest of this entry »

Following are a couple of recent examples of genuine cases that won significant personal injury compensation:

Example 1: A cancer patient was compensated for unnecessary organ removal after her bladder and reproductive organs were removed unnecessarily. She has been compensated with a six figure sum in a major judgment, which concluded that the patient should have been informed about alternative treatments. The court judgment means that doctors now have a clear duty to explain what options are available to patients. Read the rest of this entry »

Accidents at work on a construction site can cause serious personal injuries. Mr Smith (name changed), a 45 year old construction site worker, was part of a team working on large building renovation work in London. He had over 10 years of experience in his industry and was considered a very skilled worker by his colleagues and team.

As part of this building renovation work, Mr Smith had to set up a scaffolding structure 40 feet above the ground, and had to lift equipment weighing about 15 kgs. The employer did not provide any lifting mechanism to aid this heavy lifting work saying it was out of budget and contract terms. Lifting that heavy equipment manually from that height caused a slip-disc to Mr Smith with tremendous back pain. Read the rest of this entry »

Car accidents and motor accidents are common cases of personal injury, and one of the common questions by clients is what kind of accident compensation they could expect, assuming genuine case.

Here are is an example:
A woman received nearly £4500 compensation after getting injured in a car accident, hit by a speeding car that collided on the side of her car. The woman suffered whiplash injury, with constant neck pain and upper back pain, which disrupted her professional and personal like. Plus the medical bills were expensive, so she decided to seek personal injury claim. Once the case were prepared by an expert personal injury solicitor, the other admitted liability and agreed to settle out of court, which is usually preferable to going for long drawn court cases, especially when the other party agrees to settle the claim.

One of the common questions from clients is: “How many meetings with the lawyer are required to complete a personal injury claim?”’ and “Do I have to go to the court to get my injury compensation’ or ‘what kind of process is involved?”

In fact very few personal injury claims go to the court because experienced personal injury solicitors are able to prepare a strong case which is often accepted by the other party and settled by the other party and/or their insurance company out of the court even before it goes to the court.

Because the other party knows that when your case is genuine, then going to the court will increase the amount of compensation they would have to pay, and in that sense the insurance company often advises the other party, which is their client, to settle the matter at a reasonable price ASAP, which is one of the best ways to close a personal injury compensation claim.
