Have you suffered an injury or had your possessions damaged through an accident or incident that was not your fault? Here are 10 scenarios where it may be suitable for making a compensation claim.
1. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to accidents on the roads. Where you've been injured or your vehicle has been damaged in a motorcycle accident that was not your fault, a claim may be worth pursuing.
2. Car accidents are also responsible for many injuries and deaths every year. If you have been injured or traumatised as a result of this type of incident, legal advice may prove helpful.
3. While trips and falls have become associated with 'compensation culture', where a serious injury has been caused, earnings have been lost and medical bills been paid, it is important to do something about it.
4. Falling items and other hazardous situations have been known to cause head injuries, in some cases resulting in brain injuries.
5. All accidents are likely to cause some form of trauma. In the most severe cases, where psychological problems have occurred, a solicitor should be contacted.
6. Workers exposed to asbestos in large doses or on a regular basis are vulnerable to contracting serious diseases, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis.
7. Industrial diseases don't end there, however. Industrial deafness and tinnitus are both caused by repeated exposure to loud noises and can have major impacts on the victim's life.
8. Even if you are unhurt by an accident, you may still be entitled to make a compensation claim if your possessions have been damaged.
9. Spinal injuries are amongst the most serious that are caused through accidents. As well as the short and long-term health problems they can cause, you may require rehabilitation and compensation for loss of earnings.
10. And finally, where a defective product has been responsible for an injury you have suffered, the European Union legislation gives the consumer the right to make a claim.
So, do you think you might be eligible for a no win no fee compensation claim?
