Accidents at Work

No matter the industry that you work in, your employer should ensure your safety at work by following the health and safety guidelines that are relevant to your industry. This could include training or the provision of personal protective equipment like ear protectors if you work in a noisy location.

If your employer fails to follow the relevant guidelines and you are injured, it may be possible to claim against them. Similarly, if another employee acts in a negligent manner and you are injured, you may also be able to claim compensation.

Accidents in Public Places

Whether you were walking down the street or drinking in a bar, if you were injured in a public place, you may be able to claim compensation. You may be able to claim against the business owner or another local authority, like the council, if you have been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault.

Excellent service. Thank you all. I’m really glad I chose you to handle my case.

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 Ripon– 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.
