There's a saying in football: "it only takes a second." It only takes a second for a goal to be scored and for the whole game to change.
Sadly, the same is true of accidents. It only takes a second for an accident to happen and for your whole life to change.
Anyone that's ever had a car accident, that's slipped on the ice, that's tripped on an uneven pavement, will know how true that is. One minute everything's fine a second later, it might never be the same again.
But if an accident does happen, what should you do? Well if you need medical treatment, then make sure that's sorted out first. But after that, was the accident your fault, or was someone negligent? Because if the accident was someone else's fault another driver, an employer, or a business you were visiting then you may well be entitled to compensation.

When they think of accidents, most people seem to think of car accidents. But accidents can take place anywhere in the home, in the workplace, in a shop or public building that you're visiting, or simply walking along the pavement. If you work for someone, they'll need to hold employees' liability insurance. Anywhere that invites the public in shop or council offices, for example will need to have public liability insurance. The council are responsible for making sure that their pavements are safe to walk on. Even if you're in hospital the relevant Health Authority owes you a duty of care to make sure any medical procedures are carried out carefully and professionally, and to make sure that all their public areas are safe.
