For example, you could have been unnecessarily injured during a medical procedure like surgery or you could have suffered harm while at the dentist. It doesn’t matter what sort of negligence you have suffered at the hands of a medical practitioner. You deserve to receive compensation if you have experienced unnecessary pain and suffering.

Accidents at Work

Every industry has protections in place to ensure that their workers are safe while in the workplace. For example, if you work on a construction site your employer should provide you with hard hats to ensure that your head is protected while you work. Similarly, employers should ensure that you have any and all necessary training to complete your job role safely. This may include training about how to use a forklift truck if it is required for you to do so as part of your job.

Accidents on the Road

At First personal Injury, our team understand that road traffic accidents can often have a very devastating impact on anyone who is involved. Whether you were a pedestrian, passenger, cyclist or a driver, you deserve to receive compensation after an accident that wasn’t your fault.

Compensation can help account for the pain and suffering that you have experienced, ensuring that you get the treatment that you need for your recovery. However, compensation can also help to lessen the financial burden that you might be experiencing after a car accident. For example, compensation could account for any wages that you might have lost as well as any damage to your car which may be costly to fix.

We have more information about Road Traffic Accidents available on our website.

How much compensation am I owed?

Compensation is decided on a case by case basis, taking into account the pain and suffering caused by your injuries and the impact that these injuries have had upon your ability to function/your amenity. For example, if you can no longer complete tasks that you normally could, you may be able to be compensated for this loss of ability.

Compensation also takes financial loss into account. If you have experienced a loss of income due to your injuries, then it may be possible to account for this loss of income through compensation. Similarly, if you have had to pay for treatment or other costs associated with your injuries, it may be possible to claim these costs back through compensation.

To calculate how much compensation you could be owed, use our compensation calculator. However, it is important to remember that these figures are just estimates based upon previous cases. The best way to determine how much compensation you are likely to receive in your case is to speak directly to a personal injury solicitor.
