Preston is a city based in Lancashire, specifically on the north bank of the River Ribble that runs through North Yorkshire and Lancashire. Preston is noted for having beautiful architecture, with many buildings being listed. Examples of the lovely architecture of Preston include the Harris Public Library or the Arkwright House.

However, while Preston is a lovely place to visit or live in, you could potentially be injured in an accident while in the city. If you have been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault while in Preston, you may be able to claim compensation. To find out how much compensation you may be able to claim, contact First Personal injury.

First Personal Injury have over twenty years of experience in helping clients based in Preston with personal injury cases. Some of the types of cases we deal with include:

Medical Negligence Cases

Whether you were injured during a medical procedure or due to receiving medical advice which caused your condition to worsen due to not receiving the right treatment, you may be able to claim compensation. No matter the type of medical negligence you have suffered, if you have been injured due to an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation as a result. To find out how much compensation you could be owed, speak to First Personal Injury.

For further information, please visit our Medical Negligence page.

Accidents at Work

It doesn’t matter what industry you work in, your employer has a duty to ensure your safety in the workplace by upholding the health and safety standards that are relevant to your industry. This usually includes the provision of adequate training, but it may also include other protections, such as personal protective equipment if necessary.

If you have suffered an accident or have developed a condition due to your employer failing to implement the necessary health and safety procedures, you may be able to claim compensation. Similarly, if another employee has acted negligently and this has caused you to suffer an injury, you may also be able to claim compensation.

For more information visit our accidents at work page.

Accidents in Public Places

Accidents can happen anywhere, even if you are just going to see a play at the theatre or are eating in a café. If you have been injured due to an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation against the business owner or local authority who is responsible for not upholding health and safety in that area. First Personal Injury can help ensure that you get the compensation you need to recover and maintain your quality of life.

Accidents on the Road

Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian or a cyclist, if you were injured in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. Compensation can help to maintain your quality of life after a serious incident like a car accident, ensuring that your wages can be recouped if you have to take off work or ensuring that you can pay for any treatment you need. To find out how much compensation you may be able to claim for, contact First Personal Injury.

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.

How do I make a claim?

At first, you must provide some initial details about your accident in Preston – such as the date it occurred and where it happened. After your initial consultation, our solicitors will assess whether you have a valid case and the amount of compensation that you are likely to be owed.

If you have any documents related to the accident, such as medical transcripts, photographs, witness details or notes, you should keep these safe as they could be used as important pieces of evidence in your case.
